Once you have finished with the flathead screwdriver, use the barrel cleaning device as described above to clean off the remaining carbon particles.For all H&K Sound Suppressors – Use a nylon bristle toothbrush and rag or swab to remove all fouling from the threads of the sound suppressor. Take care only to remove the carbon build up.

Remove the carbon by holding the screwdriver on a shallow angle attaching the barrel through the slots in the barrel casing. Keep the screwdriver away from the threads and the front one inch of the barrel, which acts as a bearing surface for the sound suppressor. If possible, cut a dull concave shape into the end of the screwdriver so that it conforms to the outside radius of the barrel to prevent gouging of the barrel’s surface.

Work the sound suppressor back and forth along the length of the barrel to break up the ring of carbon so that it can be removed.Once the sound suppressor is removed, use a large, flat head screwdriver to scrape away the build up of carbon on the exterior of the barrel only.
