CLEANING A NORTHSTAR MODERATOR

[mike243]

Has anyone got any advice on how to clean the inside of a Northstar sound mod, I was reluctant to pour anthing inside it that I couldnt get out

thanks in advance Mike

I just spray my cleaner through, use the brush attachment on the pole then some cloths run through till it comes out clean, so far not had any issues

id also add i leave it stood up in the safe so if anything inside it will drip out but have yet to see anything come out following cleaning

Had mine 10plus years. Never cleaned it but occasionally gets a spray of WD40 (just a little).

No sign of any corrosion or damage. Literally bomb proof and doesn’t need cleaning at all really

I apprehensively used Ballistol silencer cleaner, on a stalon mod that had started to ooze black sludge out the front when warm. Believe the sludge was due to the previous owner using wd40 abit to much.
I let the mod soak for 24hrs and was really impressed with the results.

I don't think I've even ever put any WD40 in mine (though the T8s get a squirt of it after use).
On the radiator or next to the fire if it's been a wet day - but I've never done anything that looks like cleaning to either of mine.

Take it off and air dry on or near radiator or open window. Had mine years

Don’t

Mine came 2nd hand with the rifle (Tikka T3X in .223) and after a season of shooting with them, my friend put it through his sonic cleaner and was amazed that virtually nothing came out of it, this was over 4 years ago and it's never been cleaned since! Got no plans to repeat this process as I think it would be a pointless exercise so my suggestion would be not to bother other than add a bit of copper slip on the muzzle thread.

Give it a dunt on a bench. Any carbon will come loose and fall out that can fall out.

Any loose deposits are automatically cleaned with every depression of the trigger on a live round
