I tried your method on my new Oculus a couple of nights ago after putting about 300 rounds through it. While it did get a lot off there was still a lot left on I couldn't get off no matter what. Tried the same solution in an ultrasonic cleaner, soaking them in gas and using several other options. In the end, soda blasting was the ticket. Took all of 10 mins to soda blast them clean of all lead buildup. After that I tossed them in a media tumbler I purchased from Cabellas as you suggested and they look amazing. Thanks for all the tips, your video helped a lot!
Yeah, that powder residue was tough stuff. I usually have to do some scraping after my secret solution is done😂😂, but for the most it works pretty good. I don’t have a soda blaster. Stay cool 😎
Really solid how-to, thank you. I'm going to do this both my Obsidan 9 and my Oculus. Do you have a recommendation for how to clean my non-serviceable YHM R9? Thanks
Do not dump this stuff down the drain, use nitrile gloves, and do not reuse anything that comes in contact with that solution with bare hands. You will contaminate everything it comes in contact with if you dump it in your kitchen or bathroom sink. What he didnt explain is the chemistry behind this reaction which creates lead acetate and makes the now dissolved lead soluble, and more easily absorbed by your skin and body. Only a small exposure needed to get lead poisoning in this soluble form. Please do your research, wear PPE, and dispose properly at a hazardous waste facility to avoid unknowingly poisoning yourself, your property, or your family because of a RUclips video.
@@WayneP1973 thanks - figured! Now that I have a suppressor I may need to swap my standard mark IV target for the tactical so I can use it on multiple firearms.
Believe it or not, I use iguana bedding, that I get off of chewy.com. It’s super cheap and it’s basically exactly the same as regular tumble media. Don’t tell anyone. lol 😂

Thanks! I did this on my Rugged and after soaking overnight, the fouling wiped right out! Thank you!
Your Welcome. It does work nicely saves a lot of work. 👍
I just use brake cleaner on my baffles but not the tube body
Gonna try this. dont wanna bother with having to pay for a super sonic cleaner after paying my $200 extortion fee on top of the suppressor
*dudes make "the dip".. SUPER poisonous. Don't recommend it.*
@Randy_84 I guess what you consider super dangerous and what I consider super dangerous or two different things. lol.
@Randy_84 not supposed to drink it bud. 😂
@@WayneP1973 its literally skin soluble
@buttcripple put some gloves on you baby.
I use urine from a female racoon,Works great but can be a liitle tricky obtaining it.

Yes. Soak it in this solution for 24 hours then rinse it under hot tap water in the sink it will clean it up . Wayne.

Great video! Looking into getting a media tumbler, are you using a rotary or vibrating tumblr?
I use iguana bedding I get it off of chewy.com. It’s cheap and is the same as Tumblr media that you buy. 👍
Curious did you have your Mark IV threaded by a gunsmith or is that a specific factory threaded model?
Factory… MK IV tactical.. absolutely awesome handgun.

@@DevinS429 check out silencer shop Ruger mark IV. 3 inch barrel. That’s my next gun.
What tumbler and media do you use?

Aluminum safe?
Nope
