Spa treatment for aluminum core .22 suppressors.

Leviatano · August 6, 2023, 09:16 AM

My Thunder Beast is titanium and stainless, but my other suppressors are all aluminum.

Is there any reason to not let the aluminum internals soak at a leisurely interval in Ballistol? This seems to be the gentlest, least aggressive cleaning solution I have found. Lower the parts in a glass container, and add Ballistol 'til they are all submerged.

If not, is there anything you would feel is OK for a leisurely soak?

Ballistol wont hurt anything, but there are better chemicals for cleaning carbon off of aluminum IMO.
