[QUOTE="KY_Windage, post: 1759475, member: 108082"] So would I, Tangent. But I have the option -- I can either not clean and have the same very good accuracy you see, or I can clean and get superb accuracy. Assuming, of course, I have a rifle/cartridge combination that will produce superb accuracy with or without suppression. What happens when you don't clean over thousands of rounds is that the carbon continues to build up throughout the suppressor, including where it really matters to accuracy -- on the baffle holes -- until you get a "de-contruction" of the carbon out of the baffle holes by a blast of gas. You may have shot a very good 5-shot group right before the de-construction, and you may shoot a very good one right afterwards, but they will not be in the same spot. Cleaning gives me the option of having my groups shoot to the same POI every time I take the rifle out. Now, I have to be honest -- cleaning is a pain in the neck. But so is trimming and neck-turning my brass to fit my chamber precisely, and checking bullet concentricity. Most people are not going to do those things. But if you want the best accuracy possible, I would get a suppressor that can be easily disassembled for frequent cleaning. Just because you can clean it does not mean you have to -- it just gives you the option. [/QUOTE]
