I have an SWR 'Spectre' Can and was wondering how often folks clean theirs? I usually clean it 'totally' after every 400-500 rounds, though I do run some brake cleaner and a .22 Bore Snake through it after every use. Is this frequent enough, or is it based on the type of ammo used? I fire it with a Walther P22, A GSG 1911, 10-22's and a Spikes Tactical .22LR Upper and also a couple of .17 HMR2 rifles. Thanx for your input ....
pinkhamr,
I clean mine after each time it goes to the range. I still have yet to settle on a specific technique but have found the sooner you soak it then its easier to get the lead off with a toothbrush.
Here is last years post on the Spectre with Ruger MK III 22/45 as a host.

I have run up to 1000 rounds before I have cleaned my aac pilot, and never had an issue, I just clean it good when I do finally get to cleaning it
I have a SWR Spectre myself. IIRC a little bit of build up actually helps with lowering the level of sound suppression. I have not had to use my pusher tool yet. I clean it before I get to a brick (500 rnds).
I wipe mine down whenever i touch it, clean the barrel every brick or to or if i notice it starting to open up. But i think the only ammo that fouls the barrel enough to notice is that agula super max stuff.
The Pilot does not come apart for cleaning - how are you cleaning it?
