Why do you need to clean it??

(Though rifle cleaned every 25 shots)

If it is an old one it will have an allen grub screw at each end, remove them and belt the inner out with a soft wood drift then bung it in the dish washer.

 

If it is the newer one the 'out' end screws off, it has two flats that you can hold in a vice (loosely) and undo by hand. Then remove inner and bung in the dishwasher.

 

If you don't have a dishwasher use an ultrasonic cleaner or elbow grease and washing up liquid (remember to wear your marigolds).

 

Hope this helps.

Ive heard a quick spray with welders anti spatter spray on the baffles then letting them dry before reassembly cuts down the adhesion of debris in the future but Ive never tried it myself.

Silicon spray does the job too

Unscrew the end and push out the baffle,soak ina de-greaser as long as you can and scrub with a narrow fine wire brush,my one gets filthy after about 400 round's of .17hmr.

Open it up and have a look, think about it,if the baffles are clogged up they can't work properly, you'll hear the difference after you clean it.

they say not to clean as they were getting a problem with people putting them back together badly, coming loose and the bullet hitting the inside rim of the exit hole and obviously causing damage, being unsafe and inaccurate...... they do get full of shit and do really need cleaning, the choice is yours.

I've stripped my sak mod down a few times its fairly straight forward, also stripped the ASE utra down, same again straight forward enough with individual internal baffles compared to the saks fixed baffles system... There is a difference on the two mods when using them on a hmr, the ASE being noticably quieter, although you'll never get rid of that deadly crack!!

 

I'll move this topic to the faq section, for anyone else cleaning a sak mod, once its finished.
