I've been around guns all my life and have had extensive training throughout my career with all sorts of weapons including fully automatic weapons.
But until this past year, I just have started getting experience with suppressed weapons. The main picture up top is my Ruger RPR with a suppressor attached.
A few days ago, I learned something about suppressed weapons.... They get EXTREMELY dirty EXTREMELY fast!
The reason I found this out was because I was shooting this suppressed Ruger 10/22 and it started malfunctioning almost every round. This is highly unusual for a 10/22 and I suspected that the problem was she was a dirty girl and needed a good cleaning. Normally my 10/22's run several thousands of rounds before a cleaning is required but this one...ummmm, about 500.
My suspicions were correct, she was a filthy whore in need of a good scrubbing! I was schocked at how dirty she actually was.
That's just from rubbing my finger on the bottom of the bolt carrier lol.
I lost track of the amount of time that I spent scrubbing on her but it was quite a bit. For what should have been a simple cleaning, turned in to a pain in the arse.
I was finally able to see metal again and was satisfied that the gun might function properly once again.
Tomorrow I will load her up with some subsonic ammo and see if she cycles properly; I'm sure she will.
Stay tuned for a shootout competition between this tricked out 10/22 and my RPR Precision 10/22 to see which one wins! Thanks for your time!
