Suppressor with 6.5 Grendel

[Capt. Morgan]

The crud all over the inside and magazine looks bad but it is only cosmetic. Burnsy's right, it doesn't affect accuracy to have a coat of burnt powder on the next round.

For cleaning I use a few generous sprays of WD40 to loosen-up all the carbon in the receiver and BCG. I lay a few old newspapers below as you spray and let it drip out, soaked up by the newspaper. Then wipe with a few disposable paper towels and - Voila! I agree, the amount of black crud coming out on the paper towels is a shocker but you get used to it, and it doesn't have to be brand-new-clean, just reliable clean. Like the old saying, 'It's only kinky the first time!'

Yes, a shocker for a gas piston guy like myself. But as you say, the worst damage is probably just to my sensibilities.

I'll stick with the can on the AR for awhile. I'll get faster at deep cleaning the more I do it I suppose.

Thanks for the tips.
