Hi all. I recently cleaned my CAT AC762 after about 2000 rounds in a 24 hour soak of breakthrough. I wasn’t too impressed with the results.

The can weighed 630 grams new, and I could only get it down to 654 grams after the soak.

My KK has about 2000 rounds through it now and I would like to try cleaning again. I have CAT 206 as well to try.

What methods have you all used to remove the most junk from your cat cans? I’ve never used ultrasonic cleaners but tempted by the $90 amazon version if anyone has good luck with those and breakthrough etc.

Thanks

Good evening,

Recently soaked my cat ac 7.62 in break thru cleaner. Breakthrough instructions state it an option is to shoot super sonic rounds after draining liquid to remove excess fouling and liquid. I drained my AC762, and then shot about 20 .300blk supers through it.

Since then, I have read that it is advised to dry the suppressor completely to avoid rapid expansion and pressure spikes of the liquid from shooting. I am worried I weakened the can and its complex geometry by shooting it right after draining. A few decent clouds of nasty came out the front. Can anyone talk me off the ledge?

Cheers

Hello,
So having a good time with my kitty Kat. Originally I had some issues with it walking off my nano mount, so I got used to torquing it down with a strap wrench . Seemed to stay on better overtime and I just left it on my rifle through a few range sessions after it seemed to stop walking. Anyway, now I cannot for the life of me get it off. Probably went too ham with the strap wrench.

I tried to get it off with the wrench, no joy. Shot 10 rounds, still no luck while it was warm and just ended up just shredding my strap wrench from the friction. Anyone have tips to get this off? My next plan of action was to buy a new strap wrench, soak the muzzle and suppressor in break through fo a few hours and hope for the best.

Thanks !
