Ballistol Suppressor Cleaner


Just put one of the rubber cork stoppers in one end of the Suppressor, fill it up with this cleaner, wait for a few hours, then rinse it out. Could it really be this easy?

I've considered an ultrasonic cleaner, but why bother if this works as advertised. :unsure:

MrCapstick comes home, the 470

Awhile back I picked up a Winchester “Big Five” custom shop rifle in 470 Capstick and right away I was seeing areas that could have, should have been addressed/improved by Winchester so I went about correcting these things and in the process may have quite possibly built the best DG/Stopping rifle one could wander into the dark places of Africa with!?!?

450 Dakota vs 458 Lott

While looking at rifle manufacturers, construction, features, functionality, and options I’ve come across some DG rifles that are available in calibers other than .458 Lott but may be similar.

Back from Africa. How are you paying the bill to the PH?

I am back from Zimbabwe. The take was an elephant, a dagga boy, and 2 enormous crocodiles.

Thanks,
TD
