I agree 100%, everyone that manufactures a "serviceable" can uses it as a selling point, they'd be stupid not to. Ours are serviceable, but I don't even consider the thought of pulling them apart until a minimum 10K rounds, and usually not until 15 to 20K. How many of you guys are gonna actually run those numbers, especially on a precision hunting platform?
If you "think" you need to clean your centerfire cans after every few hundred rounds or few thousand for that matter, you are wasting your time. It doesn't need to be done (if you want proof I'll show you) BUT if you feel the need, go for it... I would focus on the important things, like keeping your barrel clean.
Given the amount that Skinney shoots, he would know. I agree with his sentiments about "thinking" about doing things. A lot of guys "over do" things because it "feels" right. Can't tell you the number of times I get criticized for not cleaning my guns as much as other guys think I should. Yet, I am right there shooting with them and not having malfunctions and I am shooting every bit as accurately as they do. But they still "feel" the "need" to comment and criticize.
I have shot a lot out of my suppressor, surely not as much as Skinney, and I look into it from time to time. Once the initial carbon got on there, I haven't seen an appreciable increase in carbon fouling since.
