Thread: DPT Baffle Corrosion

after a week long trip i cleaned the rifle and at the same time thought i'd have a look in the baffles of a 6 month old DPT magnum suppressor. I was surprised to see a significant amount of corrosion and build up in the first couple of baffles in particular, but noticeable on all baffles. i gave them a clean/scrape and it has quite noticeably eaten away at the aluminium of the baffle. i've fired max 30 rounds of 7RM through the suppressor - is this normal?

i know they only have a limited shelf life, but at this rate it looks like it will be well shot by the time i get anywhere near a couple of hundred rounds (perhaps this is the brilliance of the relatively affordable DPT replaceable baffle system???)

so should i be looking after it differently? e.g. open the suppressor after using it and clean with solvent - or similar??


also have a Hardy Gen V and a Gunworks for other rifles and it makes we wonder what is going on in their internal organs...
