Billy. Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 I wanted to see what my Wildcat mod looks like on the 22-250 and after taking of the PES I was looking at the state of the baffles and reflex bit, when I got a bit of a whiff of ammonia (there's no mistaking the smell!) It's not a full on smell, just an underlying one which I can clearly make out. Does anyone know why this is, as I really didn't expect ammonia to be made in the burning of nitrocellulose powder.

SSS Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 Taken from another site 'Nitrocellulose (also: cellulose nitrate, flash paper) is a highly flammable compound formed by nitrating cellulose through exposure to nitric acid or another powerful nitrating agent' That probably explains it enough, ammonia is nitrogen and hydrogen, and oxidised would give you a nitrate of nitric acid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoughton Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Don't forget that it's always best to remove the magazine, remove the bolt and make sure there's nothing in the chamber before sniffing the moderator. It's easy to forget those steps in the excitement of the imminent sniff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
