“I've never once cleaned my centerfire cans, some have thousands of rounds through them with zero issuesand they shoot sub MOA like when they was new! With jacketed high pressure rounds its not needed, thats why most rifle cans are sealed.“
Never cleaned a suppressor, it may keep your same group. However the intended purpose of noise reduction won’t be at its best, and only lessen as more use and no maintenance goes on.
Jacketed has zero to do with it. It will fill with carbon and residue over time. Weigh suppressor when new then weigh it after 10K rounds with no service along with checking with a DB meter.
Welded cans/nonservicable are welded for cost and easy of production. Along with some weight loss.
I pay the premium and deal with a serviceable can. I cleaned mine after about 700 rounds of 5.56/69MK/Varget loads. The crud and crap that came out was crazy.
As far as POI and MOA movement, that will vary from rifle to rifle. Out of six I had to adjust my POI on one and it was a heavy barrel solid rig. Anytime you hang something on the end you will change harmonics, no way around it. Any suppressor manufacturer that claims other wise is selling a bill of goods. I have a couple of barrel tuners and have seen what they can do with very small adjustments.
