I'm debating on if I want to do aluminum baffles for a .22lr form 1 can. I hear they are a BITCH to clean. Anyone have experience?

Here you go way back from MDS 2017 The Arsenal > NFA/Class 3/Title II > Suppressor Cleaning, ugh!

His method works well. Tumblers can be purchased fairly inexpensively and the time savings, plus how effective they are make it a worthy investment. Over time the .22 builds up lead deposits. You may be able to scrape carbon and fouling off, but a day will come when it starts to clog up. That will be when the tumbler will work.

I skipped the oven part. I just soak it in the Dot5 solution then let it drip dry. Use the suppressor then once I get home all the crud just wipes off. Anything left behind can be removed with a toothpick. Then soak again 2-3 days before using the suppressor again.
One time I fired a bunch of .22 Thunderduds on a GM9 suppressor and forgot to dip it in Dot5 when I got home. After 2 weeks I could not even take the suppressor apart. So I soaked it overnight in Dot5 and was able to take it apart the next day. I'm lazy so I just order Dot5 from Amazon. I am still on the first bottle of Dot5.
