Is there any downside to using a cover? Seems like it would hold in the heat. Is this an issue? My Saker is titanium and supposedly rated for full auto, but I figured I'd ask.

Never mind - I just remembered that Silencerco also sells a suppressor wrap. They say it isn't meant for extended use. Seems like it's more of an issue for the wrap than it is for the can.

It does increase heat retention and results in your can heating up faster. If you find yourself in an extended firefight on a walking dead episode it could be an issue. For me the biggest issue was mirage through my optic. It fixed that.

Mirage I could understand. So far I haven't had mine hot enough to notice.

I use a cheap stainless thermos for transport. If the can is still hot, it's no big deal. Just slide it in the thermos and off we go.

I have been shocked how fast mirage starts bothering me through a scope. In fairness though, I am now the proud owner of a set of old man eyes...

I like the thought of DIY. I'll try it out.

As much as these things cost, would think they would come with one.
