maintenance & care

How do you maintain your Stalon silencer? Our silencers are made to last a long time, provided that you take care of it correctly. Only simple but continuous maintenance is needed. Below, we list our recommendations and share several common problems caused by deficient care.

Step by step - extended

step 1. DRY OUT

Always remove the silencer from the weapon when it is not in use. Allow the inside to dry if wet or damp. Use a heat gun, compressed air, hairdryer, fan, or similar until it is completely dry.

step 2. clean the bore

Start by cleaning the bore from any gunpowder residue. This is best done with a gun cleaning brass brush or boresnake.

step 3. lubricate threads

Wipe the threads of the silencer with a piece of paper to remove any dirt. If dirt gets into the split section, it will cause problems when disassembling the silencer later. Lubricate the split section between the front and back parts (if the silencer is divisible). Use Stalon silencer grease >

step 4. barrels's thread

Also lubricate the barrel threads with the same grease. Ensure that these are also cleaned from any debris.

step 5. oil

Finish by spraying a light gun oil for about 1-2 seconds (i.e., 1-2 short bursts) inside the silencer.

step 6. STORE

Store the silencer upright with the muzzle facing downward in a gun safe (or in another recommended way).

DISASSEMBLE AND DRY OUT

Condensation forms inside the silencer during use. Water and moisture, in combination with gunpowder residue, contain ammonia and other corrosive substances that have to dry up before storage. Moisture damage can occur if you don’t dry out the silencer after use. This will affect the silencer's efficiency and performance.

OIL & LUBRICATE

To protect from moisture, we recommend regularly spraying the inside of the silencer - from the front end - with gun oil or other thin oil (e.g. WD-40), for about 1-2 seconds.

Storage

The silencer is stored standing with the front-end pointing down in a dry, well-ventilated spot. Laws and regulations might force you to keep it in a weapon safe.

DETERGENTS & TOOLS

We don’t recommend using third-party cleaning substances or liquids.

fix the scratch

The silencer’s surface might get scratched on twigs or else when moving in the forest.

However, this does not damage the coat. Wipe the silencer with a light gun oil, and the silencer will look new.

common issues

Salty crystals inside a silencer due to insufficient oil treatment and maintenance.

There's dirt in the silencer

Water and moisture, in combination with gunpowder residue, create a corrosive pulp. A silencer that hasn’t been lubricated with oil will release big, white crystals that look like crashed dishwasher tablets.

THE SILENCER CAN’T BE SCREWED APART

If you have one of the Stalon X models, and can’t screw it apart, there are a few possible reasons. It has most likely been damp for a long time.

BULLET STAINS IN FRONT-END

A bullet stain in the muzzle can depend on several reasons. One issue, common during shooting sessions at range, is impaired precision after a while.
