Carbon falling into the chamber

[justin davis]

Anyone ever have this happen? I’ve had it happen a few times. I think carbon falls down from the suppressor and gets in the chamber. Then it’s hard to chamber a round. Anyway to avoid? Or just need to clean suppressor more often?

It has happened to me. Dead Air Nomad Ti on a Tikka 6.5 CM T3x. Cleaned the can and no issues since .

I’ve only had it happen on a rimfire.

I’ve not had it happen yet but I take a look often to make sure I have no obstructions

muzzle down is a cheap fix.....

Yes, on a .223 after about 500rnds with a scythe on it.

Iv never had a chunk of carbon cause me to not be able to chamber a round. But I do clean my cans every thousand rounds or so depending on cartridge to keep crap out of my action.

Believe this happened to me on a deer hunt this year. Couldn't chamber a round. Luckily found a stick that was the appropriate shape to shove in the chamber and dislodge the carbon. I am not sure what the remedy is - clean the can more maybe?

I give mine the smack test.

If I can take the suppressor off and smack carbon chunks out of it by hitting it or tapping it on a table, it’s time.

I have had it happen but on the bolt face so it makes headspace a bit tight

You just smacked the carbon chunks out........screw it back on.
