Waiting for the suppressor to cool off - cure...

[SigPacker]

I got my hands on one of these a month back - Griffon Heat and Mirage Mitigation Systems

Did some long distance shooting with my 700p and 762SD Suppressor a couple weeks ago but I completely forgot I had the Griffon off and was waiting for the mirage to dissipate. Of course while waiting I remember I had it in my range bag and as soon as I slipped it on - mirage went away!

Definitely saves waiting for the cool down time at the range to take off and put the suppressor in your range bag after a shooting a while.

everything dealing with NFA stuff is....it's kinda outrageous

That's the cheapest NFA stuff I have seen Plus I bet you don't have to wait a year or longer to take it home

Some soaked burlap works just as well if you're using a suppressor for a bolt gun...makes great camo as well.

Good guys there at Rainer. One of the few gun stores I've walked into as a stranger and felt at home right away.
I do like the burlap idea, nice.

Here's another can cover <broken link removed>

Prices range from $35 to $55

Those will melt if you leave them on as they look like they are intended only to remove the suppressor. The Griffon you can leave on and helps eliminate mirage.

I respectfully disagree. They are made to be on the suppressor while shooting.

silencer temperature will vary, natch, depending on specific application. a silicone
wrap should be designed to co-exist with the worst case scenario. generally, 5-600ºF
for a silencer though it can go higher if you're running full-auto. many general
purpose silicone wraps will max out about 500ºF. so the devil will be in the details
and for each person to apply and consider.

I got a heat resistant glove. This one works for $30. You could try one of the $12 ones meant for working with curling irons.

 

[Doc In UPlace]

How's that going to mitigate atmospheric distortion coming off the suppressor?

 

[waltermitty]

...just duct tape the glove to the can

The best solution is to have a whole lot of suppressed firearms. That way they have time to cool down.
