Carbon falling into the chamber

[huntnful]

Of alll the cleaning I do, a fully titanium suppressor is the easiest. Ear plug, 15$ jug of clr will clean 10 cans. Fill it and rinse it a the end of the day. Just that simple. No more carbon falling.

Sounds simple to me! I listened to an Airlock podcast he recommended cleaning it when its base weight increased by 1oz. Not sure how it correlates, but it seemed simple.

The correct fix here is a….. muzzle brake *prepares to get my ass beat even though I’m not wrong* hahaha

Yea I believe Thunderbeast recommends cleaning after the suppressor has reached 2 oz extra.

Have had this happen to myself and others.
Ever since have cleaned cans after a few hundred rounds since that is only a couple times a year for me

Never have I had it happen to me. My current can on my trainer has just under 1600 rounds since last June. Before that, it was on my 6.5 CM and 308, both gas guns, and the can has never been cleaned.

Don’t clean your suppressor, just bump it back an extra .001-.002, it’ll be fine!

This came out of my chamber after a hunt where I had to hammer the bolt closed.

I believe that someone just shooting at the range is way less likely to have this issue, it’s from carrying a rifle muzzle up and probably through rough terrain.

Well, it is unfortunate that you live in a state that hates freedom.

It's likely a volume thing, and depending on the complexity of the can's internals, a flow thing. More fouling = less internal volume and space for the gasses to flow.

Yes, I used to aim for 0.002" shoulder bump as well and had issues, maybe 2-3 out of 100 cases hard to chamber. If you measure enough resized cases you'll start to see variation in the actual final size even though the die isn't moving, easily to the tune of 0.001-0.002". I think is is mostly due to differences in spring back of different pieces of brass. Now I aim for 0.004" bump and don't have any issues. And accuracy is not affected.

So you had this issue with carbon falling from suppressor ? And bumping the shoulder back more helped solve the issue?

No, but aiming for 0.002" shoulder bump like you described will create some tight fitting rounds. When you then add debris of any kind, carbon, dirt, etc, it will make it very difficult/impossible to close the bolt, and you may damage cases like you're seeing. So the root cause issue I was getting at is you need to bump the shoulder back further.
