My 9mm can doesn't work

@Leshaire I use a conservative amount of Fire Clean on my baffles and pistons after cleaning seems to help but smells like bacon cooking for a couple rounds then I want a baconater from Wendy’s when I’m done

seems like an added benefit to me.

This shit is impossible to clean without a steel brush... Its soaking in freaking Solvent right now.

Soak it in WD40!

 

[Leshaire]

Alright, soaking it in Breakthrough Clean solvent for 2 days did a whole bunch of nothin. Still cant get this shit off...

Idk what is what. The user guide says it is constructed of titanium, steel and aluminum lol

The AAC pistons are heat treated stainless steel and bead blasted.

Yeah but what material is everything else?

I took mine apart it looks like the piston and where the piston locks in is stainless which makes sense the first baffle is stainless and the spring feels light like it’s titanium I’m guessing. The piston is the toughest to keep clean tho 1k rounds is about right for cleaning especially if u use dirty ammo

I just havent cleaned it in years. I used to every other shooting or so, but that shit got old after a while.

Someone at GFL told me to soak the entire thing in lube overnight then shoot the hottest ammo I have through it. Sounds kinda goofy. Anyone heard of this??

That should give you a good blast of carbon debris in the face to remind you to do maintenance on your cans so they last longer and are easier to clean.

No never heard of it tho

Lmfao. I don’t want to be anywhere near someone shooting a can that’s been entirely soaking in live all night.

That would be a great trick or treat for someone you like that needs a good smack in the face lol

No joke haha.

I also just dumped a baffle in a jar of WD-40 as someone said to try. We’ll see if that does anything. I could also try acetone, brake cleaner, starting fluid, engine degreaser, electrical parts cleaner and a few others I have laying around. Except most of those will likely evaporate. I’m gonna clean these bastards at some point lol.

haven’t yet found an issue that either two strap wrenches or a wooden dowel and mallet couldn’t solve. but then again i try to clean my cans every now and then.

I got it apart easily. I can't scrape the buildup off the internals though.

If you don't have access to a tumbler or blast cabinet, these work just fine for cleaning up and/or bead blasting small parts.

I don't know where you're at, but you're welcome to have at my blast cabinet, tumbler or sonic cleaner whenever you'd like.

Also, after mine are clean, I soak them in pure silicone oil. This not only lubricates, but helps prevent the buildup and aids in disassembly and cleaning. DOT 5 brake fluid is pure silicone oil. That's what I use.(not 5.1)

I got a tumbler from a buddy to borrow, now I just need to figured out what medium to use on which pieces.
