    Default Suppressor Mirage cover... first try.

    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. 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 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.

    Wonder if this would do the trick.

    Have you considered a Bowers Griptastic? Less money, more durable, effective.
    Good Shooting, MarkCO

    They are...on vehicles that spend a bit more time outdoors than say a suppressor.

    Yes they do, suppressors build up heat quicker, as well as disperse it. Price point the silicone mats and gloves are the best bang for the buck. HB has the material and capability to mfg the sleeves for them.

    They don't slip on or off easy but the work really well.

    Dont cheap out. In the long run the time and money you spend making one yourself will be more than a decent cover.

    Armageddon or TAB.

    Pot holders from amazon. These look like the cast iron handle units.
