Suppressor wrap?

[RandomWAguy]

I think I remember reading somewhere that if you have an aluminum can that its bad to use a wrap as it traps the heat in the can and can also make it louder?

Any truth to this?

On a rimfire can???

There is like NO heat on a rimfire can man, maybe on a CF can that's true (I don't have an aluminum CF can so I don't know) but I wrapped my rimfire can with no issues.

I always use a wrap on my AAC Element 2 (which isn't aluminum). I would never need it for the heat, but instead use it because it looks really neat and it helps protect my suppressor from getting banged around on barricades and such.

I had thought it was just rimfire cans due to less material but sounds like nothing to worry about, thanks

Heat is not an issue with rimfire cans.

Centrefire is a different story, regardless of the metal it's made from it WILL get hot.

Heat from a rimfire can, non issue. How fast the crap can build up inside a RF can, that's potentially an issue.

Bowers group silicone covers.

Other than protecting the Finnish on the can, why would you want to trap the heat?

They do look good but a potholder goes in my gear.

A cover with good insulation allows you to shoot without heat from the can causing mirage in your scope. And because they look cool ?

 

[Snuby642]

Mirage I forget, thanks.

I should upgrade my towle. Lol

You guys have the looks, this guy has the taste ?

Perhaps there is a market where the two are combined?

I am 100% down with this.....

And if the suppressor comes loose you dont burn your hand tightening it back up...........

But who loves to burn their hands on hot bacon? lol
