Tools and Cleaning Questions

How Often Does a Suppressor Need to be Cleaned?

Traditional centerfire silencers require little maintenance. High-flow suppressors should be cleaned every few thousand rounds to maintain performance. Rimfire suppressors get very dirty and need to be cleaned every few hundred rounds for optimal performance.

What is the Best Solvent for Cleaning Suppressors?

We have used CAT206 (ONLY for titanium and Inconel silencers), HUXWRX Suppressor Sauce, and MIL-COMM Suppressor X with excellent results in cleaning your suppressor.

Do Sealed or Welded Suppressors Require Cleaning?

Many sealed rifle and pistol silencers do not require frequent cleaning, but you can use cleaning solvents to keep them performing at their peak.

Do I Need to Disassemble My Suppressor to Clean it?

No, modern cleaning solvents like CAT206 (ONLY for titanium and inconel silencers) or HUXWRX Suppressor Sauce allow you to submerge your silencer without neeing to disassemble it. NOTE: Silencer parts like o-rings, gaskets, wipes, or other non-metal parts need to be removed before cleaning.
