I wanted to see how hard it would be to make my own suppressor covers. I did some research and found the right material so that it would withstand up to 1800 degree temp. What do you guys think? I did not spend near as much as what they are asking for the ones I see for sale!

That's awesome...someone has some mad sewing skillz. Looks great! I need to break down and buy one but I need to do some research on which one I want. I'm not going to lie, I did have sticker shock when I looked at them.

Looks good. Want to share what materials were used? I used a welding/Plumber's Pad for the inside and some ballistic fabric for the outside with Para-cord for the loops and wrap.

Wow. After looking at all the suppressor covers that are out there including Mantas, I think I will market mine for the mid $40's. That would be significantly less than the cheapest I found. I'll start listing these in the trading section this weekend.

I'll start listing these in the trading section this weekend. Good idea, I always like making a little money on the side. I'd much rather buy one of yours than Mantas those things are fugly.. Elite Iron is the one I use, they are priced right and look very similar to the one you made. LINK
