This guide details the cleaning process for the Pindrop XL suppressor, emphasizing that most suppressors don't require frequent cleaning. It highlights the specific risks associated with .22LR lead fouling and advises against regular solvent use due to potential lead poisoning. Recommended cleaning involves dish soap and hot water, with mechanical methods for carbon deposits. The Pindrop XL's design allows for body replacement without a new Form 4.

This guide details the process of deep cleaning a firearm barrel to restore accuracy and prevent malfunctions. It emphasizes safety, proper cleaning direction, and the use of specialized solvents for different types of fouling. The importance of inspecting the barrel with a bore light or borescope is also highlighted.

This video details the extensive cleaning process required for a heavily fouled Tikka T3 Light rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. The speaker encountered significant lead and copper fouling, necessitating multiple cleaning cycles with various specialized products and borescope inspections to assess progress and identify potential barrel defects. The process highlights the challenges of maintaining firearm accuracy when dealing with severe bore contamination.

This video details a significant lead fouling issue encountered with a SIG P322 pistol, even after the barrel was reportedly replaced by the manufacturer. The presenter conducts extensive testing with various .22LR ammunition types, using a borescope to document the rapid and severe lead buildup. The findings suggest a potential systemic issue with the P322 barrels, as the fouling occurred much faster than expected and even with ammunition types cited by SIG as being used for testing.

This video addresses a significant issue encountered with a SIG P322 pistol, specifically heavy lead fouling in the barrel after using Winchester bulk .22LR ammunition. The content creator aims to demonstrate the process of cleaning and removing this extensive lead buildup, implying a challenging cleaning task. The video also includes affiliate links for ear protection and mentions joining a channel membership for 'The Range Gang.'

This video tests Winchester 333 .22lr bulk ammunition for consistency and reliability using a Sig P322 pistol. The testing reveals significant lead fouling. An update clarifies that while the ammo may not be the best or most consistent, it was not the cause of the lead fouling, which was later attributed to a faulty barrel from Sig. The video emphasizes responsible firearm use on private property and does not promote sales.

This video demonstrates the utility of Teslong digital borescopes for firearm inspection. The presenter, an engineer by trade, highlights their affordability and versatility for checking barrel condition, identifying fouling, inspecting gas ports, and even examining internal suppressor components. Both USB and Wi-Fi models are showcased, emphasizing their ease of use with computers and mobile devices, respectively, and the availability of useful attachments like right-angle mirrors.

This video tests the performance of bare lead, coated lead, and jacketed bullets through a Glock Gen 5's marksman barrel. The instructor found that the Gen 5 barrel handled bare lead bullets surprisingly well with minimal leading, performing better than previous Glock generations. While coated bullets are still recommended for ease of use and reduced lead exposure, the Gen 5 barrel shows promise for lead projectile compatibility.

This 'Smith Busters' episode debunks the myth that shooting jacketed bullets can effectively clean lead fouling from a firearm barrel. While jacketed bullets may remove some powder residue and lubricant, they primarily iron lead into the barrel's grooves rather than removing it. For proper lead removal, using a dedicated lead solvent and brushing is recommended. This is particularly important for .22 rimfire conversions in AR-15s, where wax and lubricants can build up, impacting accuracy when switching back to centerfire ammunition.

This video reviews the Smith & Wesson Model 617 .22 LR revolver, a significant upgrade from the Charter Arms Pathfinder. The presenter highlights its 10-shot capacity, four-inch barrel, and excellent trigger pull. He also discusses the surprising trade-in value of his previous firearm and the common issue of lead fouling in revolvers.

This guide details the cleaning process for Gamo break barrel air rifles, including the Magnum Gen2 10X and Swarm models, as demonstrated by Ben Pierson. It covers essential safety precautions, tool requirements, and a step-by-step method for cleaning the barrel and disassembling/reassembling the proprietary Whisper suppressor to maintain accuracy.

This video from Buckeye Ballistics highlights potential barrel issues in early production Taurus TX22 firearms. The presenter warns buyers to inspect barrels for tooling marks, chatter marks, and uneven rifling, which can cause extreme lead fouling and poor accuracy. Taurus has reportedly changed suppliers to address these manufacturing defects.
