Suppressor cover complaints/wish list

[WeiserBucks]

I have days left in March! Hope to make it happen.

Send me a prototype for an Ultra 7 and I'll quit whining.

Based on them being tested in NRL Hunter, should be fine for 6-8 shot strings?

Yes

 

[ChrisAU]

Yes

I’ll give one a try once available

I like it, I'll probably pick one up to try. If I were being picky I think having the fire sleeve stitched to the outer material at the front, and a rear cinch design on the cover material so it can't slide forward would be money. My FHF cover does a decent job of reducing mirage but it still slips forward, is slightly heavy, and the velcro straps always snag and get peeled back if I put it in a case.

I would definitely try one for an Evo and Scythe, looks great!

Just a thought as i have no clue if this would work. I know yours does not come with the cinch on the back to keep it from moving forward. but what if you sewed on a back with a 3/4” or 1” hole for the barrel/adapter? You would have to remove the can to put it on but then there would be no cords hanging down or needing tucked somewhere to keep it from moving. I like the design of this cover so far!

I use a mechanix brand cover on a 16” 223 tikka. It is good for 30 rounds or so keeping the mirage reasonable.

I can’t imagine I’d ever pay more for one than what I paid for that one.

 

[lintond]

My thoughts….worth what you paid for them

I’m not a fan of the draw cord on my Armageddon cover. Not sure Velcro straps are the solution, so I’m speculating that fit to diameter is the answer. I have a can chap on order.

Next issue I have is shooting the cover off in strings of fire. My brain conjured up the idea of a loop or something that goes around the barrel. My Armageddon cover in theory cinches around the back of the can but in practice I find it hard to achieve.

Needs to shield heat well otherwise it’s worthless to me.

I would love a ranger green one that fits on my TBAC Dominus and doesn't slide off the end or snag on anything. I like the idea of having to put it on before the can and sliding it on from the back. Just gets rid of excess parts.

I’m a little late to the game here…

For me it’s just the bulk they add. I have a Cole tac and it’s nice enough but man on my DD LTI it ads a half inch in overall diameter.

It looks like yours is gonna fix that problem. Good work!

I'll amend my first post to if these are actually around 2oz, don't slip on the cans I have, help with mirage for 5 shot strings, and are priced reasonably, I'll buy multiple!

 

[DangerRanger]

Very cool and I think there’s a market for it. My can is currently wrapped in poly tape and then vet wrap to cut down mirage while practicing.

I hate the idea of practicing all year with a cover and then having to possibly rezero for no cover before a trip.

I also don’t see how people sit around waiting on mirage while practicing, don’t got time for that. If I’m shooting I wanna be shooting, pour the coals to it

My diy cover starts to smoke after about 12-15 shots

I'd be interested in one for my raptor 10

 

[Ishootgunssometimes]

I’d get one for my Nomad Ti XC

I don't like my armageddon cover because its spins and creeps forward. I tolerate it tho and don't replace it.

I have one of the gummy silicone ones from New Zealand. It's alright. It doesn't spin.

Other than mirage, I think its really important to have something on my can so I can lean it up against my house, handrails, trucks, etc without scratching the the other surface. I could care less about marks on my can. Without a cover I'm going out of my way to lean my rifle on a truck tire or something that's not painted instead of something in arms reach. Small nuisance but its still there.

Me too!

Ok, I am wrapping up the final prototypes and I think I am finally happy with them.

There are two styles. One with high temp felt and another with high temp silicone. The felt offers better insulation. The silicone wrap doesn't absorb water.

I was on the same design path as many suggestions here, from the same complaints. These were design parameters:

No hardware--The cover slips on from the rear and is stitched smaller so it can never slide forward.

Ultralight-- 0.5 ounces and 1.5 ounces for two versions that fit my Ultra 7.

Stupid easy-- slide it on and screw your suppressor onto your rifle.

Max 7 shot string-- It has been tested by me and at NRL hunter, no issues with mirage up to 10. Though my buddy tried to win a side match and melted some of the silicone with a 30 round string... the silicone came right off. If you suck that bad at deer hunting that it sounds like you are laying down suppressive fire, this is definitely NOT the suppressor cover for you.

Abrasion resistant-- it is a stretch nylon that is similar to the stretchy fabric used on side pockets for well known back packs.

Some pics.

Will come in Range Green, Coyote, and Sniper Grey.
