What type or brand are you looking for? Nomex? Kevlar?


You might just purchase a good set of oven mitts. Something like these, EN07 rated to 932F.

Check out the Silencer Shop for suppressor covers.

Rifle's Only HAD cover.

I've got a few of the Rifle's Only HAD covers. I've also got a couple TAB gear, Warsport Warsock, and a Griffon Industries HMMS. The Rifles's Only is the best heat mitigation out there followed by the Griffon (which is basically the same design)

Go to about 12:00 and see what happens after several mags. Griffon wrap

If you're looking to build your own, look at "header wrap" and then coat it with a silicone 1.1 mix from a marine store.

You might also want to try Manta - they have a high-temp silicone suppressor sleeve that's pretty effective. The Reaper and I acquired one each at SHOT a couple years ago. I would strongly recommend NOT using neoprene (or anything else flammable) as I've seen suppressors start fires when laid on tables after an extended firing session.

A "molded rubbery material". (A silicone compound similar to silicone oven mits.)

Can we assume that between yourself and TR, the units were put thru significant heat stress??

Did the cover get sticky or gummy?

While looking around, I found a couple youtube videos.

For a cover in the 35USD range, these are viable, if only to keep from blistering fingers & legs..

Spray-n-Pray in not advisable, but it shows what you can expect..
