Jan 22, 2020 · Just recently I've built a few suppressor covers and handguard wraps. I used Amazon sourced welding blanket that is supposed to handle 1800º and 1000D cordura fabric. The handguard wrap worked flawlessly with 3-4 mag dumps in just a few minutes and not a hint of heat on my bare hand. I did melt the suppressor cover in between mag 2 and 3.

Jul 26, 2019 · Was thinking it would be fun to make a suppressor cover...does anyone (maybe a professional welder) have experience with best materials to use? So far I’ve gathered silicone weld blankets are great along with nomex.

May 16, 2020 · You don't need to go overboard. As you see in the picture, the cover should not bunch up at all, and it should be a nice suction around the suppressor (to prevent heat escape which creates mirage). The most important aspect is the back cinch...which physically prevents the cover from moving forward.

Jul 7, 2023 · Suppressor wraps are expensive so I thought I’d try making my own. The outer layer is 500D Cordura wrapped with shock cord. But underneath is two layers of welding blanket (rated up to 1400F). Used my laser cutter to cut the fabric and hemmed the edges to give it a clean look. Now to try it out to see if it works.

Sep 11, 2024 · It's up to you, but suppressor covers are pretty cheap insurance. They mitigate heat from sustained fire and protect your (very expensive) suppressor from bumps and scrapes.

Flame-resistant welding blankets and screens protect against sparks, heat, and splatter in any work environment. Choose from lightweight fiberglass for general use or heavy-duty silica for intense applications, available as portable covers or complete frame systems.
