whatever one's favorite way to clean a rimfire suppressor.
soaked overnight in Pro Shot bore cleaner, did very little
been soaking in slip 2000 carbon cutter it said so 10 to 15 minutes been soaking 4 hours still not impressive..
thinking about trying a solution in an ultrasonic cleaner. or even something in a Tumblr wet or dry

I have an aluminum suppressor that I coated the baffles in TC bore butter and the fouling just wipes out. Doesn't really help your current predicament, but might help in the future.

I’ve used a sonic cleaner with Purple Power solution. It does okay except for the lead deposits. Still have to do a lot of brushing. The last time I cleaned my Sparrow I tried soda blasting which worked quickly and pretty well except the heavier lead deposits. It would be great if there was a non toxic/hazardous alternative to “the dip” but I haven’t heard of any.
