Long over due can cleaning


Recommended Posts

Soaked for 4 days in kroil, 22 and 9mm pistol cans came apart after about an hour of pounding with 1 inch delrin rod and 5 pound hammer. 9mm carbine can took 5 days soaking and 2 hours pounding. Took the pics of 9mm carbine can after I had already cleaned the baffles on the others. Carbine can had about 1000 rnds 9mm, 100 rnds 308 subs and about 500 5.56. Took me about 1 hour bead blasting to clean all baffles, endcaps and spacers for all 3 cans.

I shoot a lot of lead though.them, and waited to long to clean them. Normally I would just soak overnight and they come apart. My 22 can weighed 3 ounces more than when I built it. (About 3500 rnds). This is why I don't weld any of my cans, next couple form1s with be monolithic cores.

All are variances of other designs. Middle one is stainless and carbon steel, other 2 are aluminum. I bought my first commercial can about 8 yrs ago. I took it apart and measured the k baffles. I have been in the industry on and off for around 25 yrs doing work for different EBR manufacturers and dealers. I know enough to not break laws and not hurt myself :) Edited by Static_USMC
