Thread: dpt suppressor cleaning

To be honest, I don't bother.
I've pulled them apart a few times thinking I better clean it and never found anything that I think would require cleaning. Spraying it with WD40 just seems to be an unnecessary mess that i don't need.
I've got 6 Suppressors, 5 DPT and one gunworks. The only one I occasionally clean is the DPT on the .22lr cause .22s are filthy creatures.
I even suspect DPT puts cleaning instructions on their website because if they didn't people would constantly ask, even if they said you don't need to.

One of the DPT suppressors has done at least a thousand rounds of .308 out of a 16" barrel and it's none the worse for wear inside other than a small amount of erosion on the first baffle, a long way from needing replacement though (similarly why I think the stainless steel baffles, are just added weight for a potential problem worried about far more than experienced).

As a note though, definitely never leave the suppressor on the rifles for longer than necessary, it's a great way to get a rusty crown.
