I've got two cans to test Breakthrough Clean suppressor cleaner. The first is my Dead Air Mask. At the time of cleaning, it had a modest 1,800 to 2,000 rounds through it since its previous cleaning. The second can is the Griffin Armament Bushwacker 46, and it had about 900 rounds of mixed lead, lead gas checked, powder coated, and jacketed bullets since its last cleaning.



Before I discuss how the cleaning went today, I'll briefly describe how I usually clean my cans and baffles. The tubes are cleaned by hand with bristled brushes and picks. The prior cleanings I mentioned were far harder than today. The prior cleaning Mask suppressor had well over 5k through it, and the Bushwacker 46 had around 2,100 to 2,200 rounds.



In that cleaning, I separated the baffles from the can—yay for user-serviceable cans—and dropped them into my rotary tumbler with steel pins. I put a little bit of Dawn dish soap and lemi-shine in the tumbler. I'll show a few pictures of each set of baffles to give you an idea of how caked on the carbon was before the previous cleaning. By cleaning, I mean no carbon is left on any part of the baffles, tube, mount, or end caps.
