How much experience do you have with supressors and supressor maintenance?

[AzDiamondHeat]

Make sure to use high temp anti size on the threads  between  the joints  . I have the same  can and it was a mother Fer to get apart.  As for cleaning  it depends  on what  you  use it on . On my 7-08  the baffles get some carbon build . I don't  rapid fire to get it hot enough  to blast the carbon  out. They do get  crud in them they all do . Anyone  that says  they don't  need cleaning  should  see all the youtube videos  on cleaning  your can and the dip for cleaning  your can . There is several  of each and most sealed  cans still  need  cleaning  . Alot of the manufacturers  will  tell you to contact  them and send them in for cleaning.

You will get 100 different answers. Just like cleaning a rifle. Everyone has a different opinion.

I dipped  the baffles  in clr for awhile  and used a bronze brush  to clean . When your  done use alcohol  to wash  off clr. Don't  use clr on the tubes it's supposed  to eventually  take off finish  . If you  ever get baffles  stuck  I did buy the tool from  SC  to remove  them . Just a little  anti seaze  on the threads is all you need .

I would be careful with CLR. I use it on a lot of materials for work. It can do some crazy stuff to some metals. It is really good at cleaning though!
