.22 lr through non serviceable .30 cal can??

[trvsAR]

Im looking to get my first can, im looking into .30cal cans to mainly use on center fire rifles, but id also like to shoot some .22lr through it and it seems like their is a consensus that if you shoot .22lr you should have a can that can be taken down for cleaning

What im woundering is how true is this or is it a big deal?, do any of you guys shoot rimfire through yours with no issue? would shooting big calibers afterwards knock some of the junk out or maybe an ultrasonic cleaner would do the trick? (my first post so i mine as well ask a shit ton of questions lol)

Im looking for a shorter lighter silencer with a solid QD system and it seems that most of them cant be taken down

It's definitely an issue depending on the volume. There's some toxic formula that guys have used to clean the sludge out of cans that have rimfire through them.

The best solution is to buy a dedicated rimfire can that's serviceable.... even if it takes time to save up for the purchase.

It can ruin a centerfire rifle can. Unless you want to make liquid cancer and potentially destroy your brain.

Don't do it, get a dedicated rimfire can. You can get them for pretty cheap.

Thanks guys this seems like logical advice to me

I think im going to still get one of the non serviceable ones ive been eyeing up amd keep rimfire rounds away from it, then maybe ill get a rimfire one or maybe not who knows

Opinion of one man, non servicable rifle can, servicable pistol can for occassional 22 use.
I guess if you shoot a lot of 22, a dedicated can makes sense for weight / cost reasons. I dont so ymmv

Even 250 rounds of .22 completely dirty up a suppressor. Mine is filthy after 300 rounds. I can hit it and tons of crud falls out.

Do not shoot .22 through a non serviceable can. Just don’t do it.

Yea I had to hammer off chunks of crap off one of my 22 cans after putting 1k rounds or so through it without cleaning. It was nasty. I wouldn't shoot 22 through anything other than a 22 can that comes apart.

Unless you like wasting money, do it right and get a rimfire can. It will cake up the centerfire can with carbon and lead faster than you think and the cleaning "Dip" is very toxic lead acetate that is a nightmare to dispose of legally.

Here is about 1100 rounds on a spectreII baffles:

I can manually clean these quickly, under 10 minutes with scraper tools I made for the CTA cup baffles

Damn after 1k rounds of full auto mine didn't look that bad.

Got pics of the tools you made?

Yeah, like others said, don’t do it.

I can’t believe you can’t find a user serviceable, centerfire can that won’t suit your needs.
