Mate I was going to give a long and wordy reply but I don't have the time.

To keep it brief I live in Central Otago and get given ammo and paid at times by farmers to shoot rabbits so your assumption that I don't shoot much 22 lr is incorrect .
I never clean a suppressor , yes they do get a lot of gunk in them and I shoot sub sonic which is dirty stuff.
Explain to me how a dirty suppressor causes loss of accuracy ?? the projectile isn't being affected by touching the fouling, internal volume maybe fractionally reduced but that doesn't effect accuracy and some people think a dirty suppressor is even quieter.

I run a DPT ( totally frozen together ) on a 17HMR and a Hardy rimfire suppressor on a 10/22, between them they consume 7000 plus rounds a year and are never cleaned but both rifles are very accurate.
Clean your rifle , clean your bore but cleaning your suppressor is not needed and the statement your accuracy will turn to shit is total rubbish.Attachment 149478

Just to show I shoot, the jar is full of 17 HMR fired brass, about 5500 rounds in there and collected in under 16 months, that's a fraction of the 22 ammo I shoot..... if cleaning your suppressor makes you feel better then by all means do it but I got better shit to do with my time

I've tested it with both my suppressors and after 2 bricks of CCI standard velocity through them they need cleaning.
Groups will clearly grown to almost double the size and get more fliers, I don't know what exactly causes it but it happens for both my DPT and ASE, and my Tikka and CZ.

I even posted a thread years ago comparing groups before and after suppressor cleaning.
I guess I was wrong about you not shooting much 22 but I'm not wrong about cleaning rimfire suppressors.
