Cleaning Your Slingshot, Slingshot Micro, and Slingshot Ti .22

Proper cleaning of your silencer is essential for ensuring a long service life and maintaining the ability to disassemble it for cleaning or service. Cleaning should be performed after every shooting session, and you should not exceed 300 rounds before cleaning.

Before attaching your silencer to the barrel, make sure both the silencer threads and barrel threads are clean.

We recommend disassembling the silencer after shooting, even if you don’t have time to clean it immediately. This helps prevent the tube and core from seizing due to expansion and contraction as the suppressor cools. Always ensure your firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Use a heat-resistant glove if needed.

If there is significant buildup, soak the silencer in gun solvent for a few hours before cleaning by hand. An ultrasonic cleaner may also be used—just be sure to suspend the silencer so it does not contact the bottom or sides of the container.

Disassembly and Cleaning Steps:

  1. Remove the core from the tube body:

    • Hold the silencer upright and unscrew the retaining nut from the rear.

    • Grasp the tube body firmly. Using your thumb or the palm of your hand, push the core threads up into the tube about ¼”, until they are flush with the tube body.

    • Pull the core out from the front of the silencer.

  2. Clean the inside of the tube body:

    • Hold the tube vertically over a disposable cloth. Slide the core in and out of the tube using a twisting motion. This will help loosen lead and powder buildup and allow debris to fall out.

    • Wipe the inside of the tube body clean using a cloth and a suitable gun cleaner.

  3. Clean the silencer core:

    • Wipe down both the inside and outside of the core with a clean cloth and gun cleaner.

    • Use a bristle brush if necessary for stubborn deposits.

    • For heavy fouling, the core may be soaked overnight in gun solvent.

Important: Do not use ammonia-based cleaners on the retaining nut, as it is made of aluminum.
