sandspider Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Hi allTook my semi auto and my bolt action .22s out today for a plink. Good fun, but as a result, I've got a small handful of unfired but distorted .22lrs to dispose of - how can I do this? A couple have the bullet knocked out of alignment with the case so won't chamber, but a couple got properly caught in the semi and have crush marks in the brass. I assume I can't just chuck them in the bin?Secondly, I have a mod on each gun - one Parker Hale that unscrews, and one Sak that doesn't. I managed to get the end cap off the PH and it's a bit grim inside, but I couldn't get the baffles out, and I can't unscrew the Sak, as it doesn't! Can I just soak the complete mods in white spirit / petrol / other in order to shift the crud, or would that leave moisture in them that would be hard to get out? Is there a better way to clean without dismantling? I don't have an ultrasonic cleaner or anything.Thanks for any suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polester Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 All the sak mods I've had have unscrewed fine. It might be gumed up with crud on the threads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted May 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Really? Might give that another go then! It's got spanner threads on the end, but it seems solid - I thought the spanner thread might be to get it off the gun...? Cheers.

walshie Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 SAK mods unscrew. Just persevere. As for the unfired rounds, pull them apart with a pair of pliers and tip out the powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Sak mods are not meant to be took apart . I found some paper work last week in a file saying do not strip your sak moderator I couldn't believe it as I've stripped mine a few times . I'll find it out and take a pic if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I've always stripped my SAKs and any other mod to keep them clean how else can you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 They get really gunked up especially on the 22lr over time. Suppose you could soak it in paraffin to clean it but stripping and cleaning is so much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 I clean mine because they do get gunked up For some reason cant upload a pic But mine says Accumulated deposits in rimfire and air rifle silencers contains heavy metal and other toxic substances so for this reason and because cleaning is neither necessary or beneficial we recommend not to disassemble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spandit Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 With the deformed rounds, I'd say remove the bullet, tip the powder out and then hit the casing with a hammer to detonate it (wear earplugs!). The powder can be burnt too if you like but there's so little it's hardly worth worrying about Don't know why the bits won't come out of the PH mod - try soaking it in something & giving it a good knock on a piece of wood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewsher500 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 the crud on the baffles in the .22lr mods is rock hard and i ran mine through an US cleaner for about an hour barely made a dent in it on the whole best way is to clean from the beginning and keep cleaning or don't start! always remove from muzzle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Thanks all. Sounds like it might be best that I don't start then! I'll leave em till the accuracy drops off, or they stop working so well. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
