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.
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.
We recommend always detaching the silencer from the weapon when not in use. The silencer can get stuck on the barrel’s thread if it’s attached for a long time. Dry out if the inside is wet. Use compressed air, a heater, a hair dryer, a fan, or similar until completely dry. You can also place the detached silencer on a radiator or other that emits heat. It’s important that air can circulate inside the silencer.
You don’t need to reattach every detail of the silencer when maintaining it. The Stalon X models are divisible between the front and back parts. You can take out the bowels, the core, of the Stalon RF which simplifies the clean-up process a lot on this small silencer that demands more maintenance. The Stalon VICTOR models are not detachable.
Regularly (we recommend every third week during intense hunting), the inside of the silencer needs to be lubricated with a thin gun oil for about 1-2 seconds. The silencer must be completely dry before treating it with oil. If not - it might even be droplets inside - you seal the moisture and worsen the issue. This oil has two features: it protects the baffles and the material from absorbing moisture, and you can increase the silencer’s effect by a couple of decibels. The threads on the weapon should also be lubricated, and on some models, the split section between the front and back parts. Use Stalon silencer grease for this >
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.
We don’t recommend using third-party cleaning substances or liquids. A gun-cleaning brass brush can be used to clean out gunpowder residue or white ammoniac crystals that are visible in the bore of the silencer. You can leave the silencer attached when cleaning the barrel. A Stalon silencer doesn’t require advanced cleansing procedures, but simple maintenance will keep it fresh for many years.
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.
Börja med att rengöra loppet från eventuella krutrester. Detta görs enklast med en mässingsborste eller boresnake.
Torka av ljuddämparens gänga med papper för att avslägsna eventuellt smuts. Hamnar smuts i delningen kommer det orsaka problem att dela ljuddämparen senare. Smörj sedan delningen mellan front- och bakdel (om ljuddämparen är delningsbar). Använd Stalon ljuddämparfett >
Smörj även in pipans gänga med samma fett. Även denna bör vara rengjord från eventuellt skräp.
Avsluta med att spraya en lättflytande vapenolja i ungefär 1-2 sekunder (dvs. 1-2 kortare tryck) inuti ljuddämparen.
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. This is water that has dried and reshaped into crystals. Use a gun-cleaning brass brush to clean the dirt. Finish using a light gun oil for 1-2 seconds inside the silencer.
These salty crystals can also look like prickles throughout the bore. These can disturb the bullet’s precision. The bore should always be round and cylindrical (see pictures above). Remove by using a gun-cleaning brass brush or a bore snake.
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 and maybe even rusted. There could have been dirt on the threads when the front and back parts were screwed together. Or, the threads haven’t been lubricated enough with silencer grease. To solve this problem, heat the area around the split section by using a heater or similar. If you can’t detach it yourself, be assisted by another and screw the parts the opposite way.
If you detach it, make sure to investigate if anything is damaged. If not, dry it out and lubricate the threads.
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. This probably happens because the silencer has become loose when heated up. If it’s released, you will have impaired precision, and the bullet can make a stain in the front-end. There’s a function inside the silencer that makes it reattach at every shot. If loose, it can be reattached at the next one.
Another reason could be problems with moisture inside the silencer. As mentioned above, the silencer can release big, white crystals. This happens because water and moisture haven’t been dried out, and reshaped to a corrosive pulp. When these crystals are visible in the bore, they can disturb the bullet’s precision and make a stain in the front-end.
Här rekommenderar vi starkt Stalon RC oavsett hur och var man ska använda den. Den är liten, lätt och reducerar ljudet utmärkt i kaliber .17 HMR (27,2dBc)

Vid rörlig jakt kan storleken av ljuddämparen vara av större betydelse, likaså vikten och förlängning framför mynningen på vapnet. Vi vill hitta en ljuddämpare som är så liten och smidig som möjligt och kan därför tänka oss att ”offra” lite av ljud reduceringen.Vi rekommenderar därför följande modeller för rörlig jakt och kal. .222:
Stalon VICTOR och Stalon X108.

Drevjakt är en jakt som bedrivs till stor del rörligt och med snabba rörelser. Här blir det viktigt att hitta en balans mellan storlek på ljuddämparen, vikt, ljudreducering, förlängning av vapnet och givetvis en gnutta personliga preferenser.Vi rekommenderar följande modeller för rörlig jakt och kal. .30:
Stalon X108, Stalon XE108 och i vissa fall Stalon VICTOR.

Kaliber 9,3mm och större är av sådan karaktär att vi gärna tittar på ljuddämpare med större volym, utan att för den delen förlänga vapnet längre framför mynningen. Det är viktigt för de flesta att ljuddämpare är lätt att bära runt på.Vi rekommenderar följande modell för rörlig jakt och kal. 9,3mm: Stalon XE108

Begin with cleaning the bore from gunpowder residue. This is easily made with a gun-cleaning brass brush or boresnake.
Wipe off the silencer's thread with a tissue to remove dirt. Dirt can cause issues detaching the silencer later. Lubricate the split section between the front and back part (if the model allows). Use Stalon silencer grease >
Use the same grease to lubricate the barrel's thread as well. Even this should be cleaned from eventual dirt.
Finish using a light gun oil inside the silver for about 1-2 seconds (i.e. 1-2 short pressures).
