Has anyone had a really tough time getting the lead and carbon off the baffles of an Element2.
I've soaked them in solvent for about an hour and that seemed to help a little when taking the brass brush to it, but there is still plenty caked on the baffles. What should I do? Thanks |

What ammo are you using and how often do you clean?
I put a couple hundred rounds of CCI Mini-Mag copper plated round nose through mine and was expecting a big mess based on what I have read here. When I opened it up, it was barely dirty. This was shooting it attached to my SR-22. |

Thanks Oddly enough I just cleaned my Element last night. What solvent are you using? I soaked mine in Kroil overnight. There was still some carbon residue on the baffles, but it is not necessary to remove 100% of it off the baffles. |

I soda blast mine
Here is a thread I did on how to build a cheap Soda Blaster Link |

Thanks for all the input guys.
I like the soda blasting concept, but the tumbler seems to be the method of choice. I'm certain I can build a small one as I don't do any reloading, unless you guys know where I can get a pretty small one for around $50. Thanks again, Kyle |

Harbor Freight: 3lb for $45 dual 3lb for $55 It's pretty easy to find a 20%-25% off coupon, or one for free shipping, and you can combine that with the sale price. I have the 3lb version just for baffles, as I don't currently reload. I also bought the refill size pack of SS pins from here. |
