I like the pot holder idea. In fact, just grab one or two out of the kitchen and wrap them around the suppressor with a couple of zip ties. Voila. Cheap solution.

I loved my tab cover until it melted on my AR... however it still works, so there's that. I'll buy another one though eventually as I really liked it. Had no problems with the other one I bought for my .308 Rem700.
Look up panther felt welding blanket
I built two covers so far. One is slick with nothing on it. One is as shown in the pictures. I didnt use anyone elses design as a copy.(I really have only seen 1 other persons cover in actuality) BUT, there doesnt seem to be too many ways to build a suppressor cover. I guess thats why Tab, Armageddon, Griffon, etc all have the same basic design.
I added the way to tie it on, but my slick one wont shoot off either. I rolled the inner fabric on the rifle end, so It cant slip forward with recoil.
I have a real nice no contact laser infared thermometer and did a bunch of testing. Like MOST of the other companies, these would not be rated for full auto. I think that two back to back mag dumps would be close. (30rd .223)
As far as for my long distance shooting they have worked great

Here are some I have made.
I am experimenting with design and materials. Thanks to Jim for the help. He has kindly done some mag dumps and we tested temps with an infared laser thermometer. We had no problem with 4 back to back mag dumps (5.56)
The short one in the picture is Jim's, because his is much shorter than mine.
None of these need to be cinched on. I built a roll into the barrel end to keep it in place during recoil.

Hell yeah! Always great to see some T&E going down. Best of luck on the new products.
The spouse and i are very happy campers with our suppressor covers. EVEN IF MINE IS SHORTER. Those are needed if you have a Halo unit. While OAL is bigger, the can itself is not. Using a standard cover, it does not go over the halo mount.Quote:

I, too am looking for something to keep from melting stuff in the back of the SUV.
IIRC 60 - 80* average temp differenceQuote:
