Anyone used the Botetech suppressor cleaner to compare this to?

Has anyone noticed if this affects anodizing. I have a q erector, im always looking to make cleaning it easier

Just ordered 32oz from amazon (CE Showroom seller - likely a drop ship...or a quart of water). Looking for something to tackle my Mask. We all need more real-life reviews posted so thought I'd throw my hat in the ring. Will know more in a week or so...

Use this to clean my Occulus with 500-600 fired through it. Disassembled and let the baffles and tube soak submerged overnight. All the carbon loosen and was easily removed, no negative affects on the outside appearance of the tube.
Nice stuff to use, no odor, I used gloves but still got some on my skin, no issue. It’s seems like it has a soap quality to it, you get bubbles like it’s a soap. Hard to explain but once you use it you’ll see. It worked so good I cleaned some glock barrels with it, carbon wipes right off. |

Does anyone have a recommendation for something that is actually good to plug the muzzle end of a sealed suppressor for use with this? Obviously something that won't be melted by the solvent.

Keep looking it up on Amazon, but keep backing out cause it seems expensive

The piston started sticking, but the adapter no longer disassembles and it was rocksett to the suppressor awhile ago. If I try to unscrew the 3-lug adapter apart to service it (even with a strap wrench and collet holder in a lathe) it pulls the whole rear can mount blast chamber section off the registered tube (it’s supposed to be a sealed can, FYI, LOL) so this is problematic. I soaked the whole 3-lug and blast chamber assembly in the solution and was able to break free the piston and it now spring-locks on the 3-lug barrel again no problem. In the future, I’m probably just never going to remove the suppressor from the machinegun again. |

I used it to clean a sparrow and a mask and was very happy with the results. Definitely the easiest method I have used.

In the future, I'm probably just never going to remove the suppressor from the machinegun again. LOL, no... I wish. My 3-lug adapter is still thoroughly stuck together AND stuck rocksetted to the "blast chamber assembly" of the suppressor. Once I had all those steel parts off the aluminum-bodied suppressor tube (the blast chamber assembly is not supposed to be removable) I tried heat and better leverage methods to no avail. Tried soaking in water, boiling water, everything. No luck. So I dropped the whole stuck mess into the breakthrough suppressor cleaner overnight and it dissolved the fouling from the inside the 3-lug piston assembly so it at least functions. But it didn't loosen the 3-lug adapter itself or the rocksett to the blast chamber. So I just screwed the blast chamber back into the tube with some loctite and called it good. If you've ever seen a clogged up 3-lug piston, they're ether stuck on the gun until you disassemble the adapter assembly to clean them out (so the piston can move) or you take the 3-lug can off the gun and the spring piston doesn't articulate so the next time you go to put it on the gun it isn't retained and just kind of twists and rattles. The pistons need to be able to travel within the adapter to capture the lugs and keep their spring pressure. |

I just had my CGS 3-lug in this stuff and it's like new again. Yeah, I've been reading a lot of Rocksett stories like this lately. Also a good reminder to go really light with this stuff. |

Another happy customer. It cleaned my 22 suppressor baffles, tube and end caps amazingly/
I emailed the manufacturer and asked them if it had been tested on brownells alumahyde 2. They responded, on a weekend. The response said that they had not tried it so could not say if it would remove the alumahyde or not. Has anyone who has used this stuff tried cleaning anything painted with alumahyde? |

I apologize I have not read the whole thread. Just some of all you guys results.
You just dump this stuff down the drain or in yard/ditch when you’re finished? |

Bah. I ordered a gallon and got an email that they were canceling my order due to lack of stock.
Now I’ll have to order from somewhere else. |

Another satisfied customer, stuff works amazingly well.

I'm very curious how well it will do on more mundane objects: Like the bolt itself.
Steel wool sheds tiny hairs as you work it. Best have some paper underneath as you work it. I also have a mono core suppressor that I haven't been able to open for several months. It needs cleaning badly. |

I was notified that rangeusa.com restocked the gallon containers today for a very reasonable price.

my main distro got this stuff back in stock. bought some 32ouncers.
cant wait to use this stuff! |

It takes away some of the visual impact when you can't see it.

Wow, did not expect that. I got a package of their oils and solvents for free and basically gave it away thinking it was just worth what it cost me. Oops.

Has anyone soaked a rifle suppressor with this yet?
|
|

I got a gallon of the stuff. After a congical visit with my rugged mustang I took the stuff there and put some in a cup and let it soak for 10 mins. 99% of everything came right off with a wipe, just a few small spots remain. Once I get it home for good I will do it again, but it only had like 100 rounds thru it.
The solution now has my 9mm booster soaking in it, now that has hundreds of rounds thru it with out cleaning. Oh edit to add dribbled a few drops on a case of coke ( accidently ), it took the color out of the cardboard faster than I could wipe it off. What ever is in this is a great solvent. |

I wonder how well this stuff would clean a flow-thru can like a huxwrx
|

Submerged Mask baffles for about 4 hours tonight. Very effective - would say it cleaned about 98% lead/carbon with only a simple wipe-down. It is worth noting that 4 of the 8 baffles discolored considerably. Would not use on the outer tube or endcaps. Stuff is harsh but likely needed with so much crap that builds up inside a rimfire can. Will use again but after longer runs.

I have a YHM Turbo V1 with...gosh it's gotta be 15k rounds or so that I'll be using this on. I'll weigh it before and after. I know it's gained a lot of weight over the years so let's see how it does. I'm not expecting much but only one way to find out.

Just got home from Scheels, got the Mod9 soaking now.

Good review and looks promising, picking some up this week and will try it on my Warlock 22 can.

After using this in a soaking method, can you re-use the solution or is it a one time use deal and start fresh each time?
