LS Wild Suppressor Covers

I run the griffin taper mounts and they get semi carbon locked sometimes. Takes a good grip and snap twist to break the taper loose. Just curious how easily the cover will spin on the suppressor tube.
Ahh, I can grab my cover over my suppressor and still spin it off.

If you have a suppressor cover with carbon felt inside, it will be like that. Except, I find it easier because the diameter is much smaller.

I have slid it down half way to really crank on a cold suppressor to get it off.
 
Finally got approved. Cover fits nice. Bit long but nothing to get upset over. I like it better than my Armageddon. Will see if it handles mirage as well

Gave the cover a small test run this evening after work. Shot 10 shots in about 15 minutes. Can was pretty hot. My last shot the mirage was getting bad. It doesn’t help my scope is right on the barrel. We’ll see how it does long term in some range trips, but overall, I’m very happy. Price is right, nice fit and finish. I’ll be getting some orange ones in the future.
 
As I offered earlier, here are some initial results using an infrared digital thermometer. I shot and took readings for 10 shots in about 10 minutes without the cover, shot another rifle for 30 min until the can was back to starting temperature, installed the LS Wild cover and then shot and measured the suppressor temperature for 10 more shots in about 10 minutes. This is not a scientific test, but it provides some data points that may be interesting so I thought I’d go ahead and share them.

The starting, ambient temp of the un-covered DD Enticer S-Ti was 49 degrees F, it was an overcast day so there wasn’t any direct sunshine affecting the suppressor temperature during the measurements. I took the baseline temp reading while aiming the infrared thermometer at the back ¼ of the can, basically at the blast chamber area. I did this because I was shooting prone and had to break position, reach forward and take the reading after each shot so I thought I’d measure at the part of the can that was closest to me. I noticed that the front half of the can gets much hotter than the back half so this temp data doesn’t reflect the highest temperatures that the can reached during the shot strings. The hottest temperature that I recorded when measuring the front half of the can was 235o, but I don’t think that was the peak temp that was reached. Next time I bring the infrared thermometer along I’ll measure the front of the can and see how hot it really gets. I also noticed that if I took a reading and then waited a few seconds and took another reading in the same place the temperature had already dropped quite a bit. When you see a temp lower than the previous shot I was probably reloading a magazine and the can had a chance to cool off, these Ti cans get hot quickly and also cool off quickly.

DD Enticer S-Ti without any cover:
0: 49F
1: 75.3F
2: 101.7F (very slight mirage visible after first shot)
3: 119.3F
4: 127.6F (mirage increased noticeably after the third shot)
5: 126.5F
6: 152.8F
7: 146.3F
8: 156.2F (mirage was significant for shots 8-10)
9: 149.4F
10: 178.7F

First 10 round group (rifle isn’t zeroed for this load):

DD Enticer S-Ti with LS Wild Suppressor Cover:
0: 47F without cover, 51.5F after installing cover
1: 59.4F
2: 72.5F
3: 73.9F
4: 82.9F
5: 89.1F (very slight mirage visible after fourth shot)
6: 87.1F
7: 95.4F
8: 112.6F
9: 105.8F (mirage increased but not nearly as much by this point without the cover)
10: 130.1F

Second 10 round group (rifle isn’t zeroed for this load, no adjustments made between groups)

Results: The LS Wild cover helps mitigate mirage and doesn't affect POI.

Thanks for that effort! PM me and I’ll send another cover or mini bag.

That is consistent with my non scientific testing too.
