Suppressor Cleaning 101

For gun enthusiasts, proper care of their suppressor as well as firearms is incredibly important. At Liberty Suppressors, we offer the best firearm silencers available, made here in the USA! Our team is dedicated to providing you with high-quality silencers and accessories, and part of what makes our products long-lasting and durable is practicing proper cleaning techniques. After frequent use, you may notice an accumulation of carbon and lead on your silencer, and for continued safe use of the silencer, we recommend cleaning your silencer thoroughly when needed.

Follow the Manufacturer’s Instructions

The type of suppressor you have will require different cleaning methods. For example, a pistol silencer will rarely need to be cleaned, whereas a rimfire silencer will need frequent cleaning. And, of course, how much lead ammo you use makes a difference in how frequently you will need to clean your suppressor too. Your silencer must be disassembled according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Our Liberty Suppressor products have their own cleaning instructions if you need more details! 

Soak 

Once you’ve disassembled your silencer, it’s time to soak it in a cleaning solution. Our Swag Suppressor Cleaning Kit comes with everything you need to properly clean your firearm silencers, including a cleaning solution. Allowing the silencer to soak will loosen the buildup of carbon and lead. 

Remove Buildup 

After your suppressor has soaked long enough to loosen the buildup, use a soft brush to gently scrub the inside of the silencer tubes to remove the buildup, and use a cotton swab to clean hard-to-reach areas. 

Dry and Reassemble

When your suppressor looks good as new again, you can wipe down all of the parts with the provided firearm cloth in our cleaning kit. It’s important to allow the silencer to fully dry before you follow the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble it. 


As the suppliers of the best silencers for guns, we want to see that your suppressor can provide you with years of service. Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial to ensuring the quality and safety of your suppressor, ensuring its integrity over time.
