Radioactive Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 PSA - Don’t wait to clean your can Took my griffin armament revolution 45 can apart for its first cleaning since I got it couple years ago. I couldn’t get the main tube apart that allows it to be run in a short config and the baffle portion of the neilson device wouldn’t come loose. Probably only had 100 - 120 rounds through it. Got the internals out and sonic cleaned everything. Both ends and innerds came out easily. Soaked in Kroil for a week - no go. Got blisters on both hands used some non slip grip tape like used on hockey stick - no go. Ended up using lots of heat to get them apart. Was worried about damaging the body but was very careful so as not to chew it up. The heat worked - seemed like it took a LOT of heat. When it came apart looked like thread locker was in the threads. For the life of me I don’t recollect using loc tite but then alcohol may have been involved when I put it together. i will be taking it apart more often for cleaning in the future and will keep eye on pieces parts coming loose since I know there is no loc tite in there. Learned a valuable lesson and got a few extra gray hairs worrying about screwing up my can. Whew! Any one using loctite or rock set for this type of thing?

Sisco Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Mine clogs up pretty bad. I don’t have an ultrasonic cleaner so I hit it with liquid wrench or a penetrating oil and gently tap on a dowel inserted slightly larger then 45 cal until the modular pieces pop out. Works and so far no degradation in suppression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never used a thing on the threads of my TiRant 45 and they come loose fairly easy. Had a good fight getting the baffle stack out, like you I was real worried I woulds mess it up. I have tried different oils and dry, the only thing that helps is more frequent cleaning, 300 was too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
