20 rounds in 60 seconds and left to cool; so much for being "heat resistant"...

Only in one spot makes me think maybe something left inside cover, maybe a tag?

Nope, it was clean before I tied it on. The black stuff is the fabric lining melted to the can, came off with a dry green scratch pad. I was going to run this on my 20" prairie dog gun, but decided to leave it off after seeing it melt after 20 rounds during my first time shooting with it.Originally Posted by ttf909

Dang.
This seems quite contradictory to what's been posted on YouTube and a few blogs. So is this a fluke or another overhyped product?

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

Take a look at Rifles Only HAD cover. The inner core is rated to 3,000 degrees, with the outer cover rated to 2,000.
FWIW, if you assume 1 round adds about 15 degrees to a suppressor (depending on ammo load, barrel length etc). On a 95 degree day a 30 round mag dump will raise the can temp to 545 degrees.
I know one major suppressor company recommends keeping their precision titanium cans under 700-800 degrees.

I'm kind of leaning towards the Manta cover. It isn't the best looking unit but it looks like it'll hold up well to the occassiional mag dump.

I think I did a 75ish round dump and my griffon hmms was fine. In that same string of fire, a BCM ELW with KMR was too hot to hold on the bare KMR metal and the barrel was giving off a ridiculous amount of smoke.

Anybody have any experience with Rifles Only's version. I just ordered the HAD (Heat Abatement Device) and they said it should be shipping out some time in the next couple of weeks. I melted my pants last time I was at the range..and was hoping that one of these will suffice to keep the super hot suppressor from burning my leg every time I transition to my pistol.

You shouldn't be running your bolt gun fast enough for it to matter. These are
for heat mirage. If you want protection for your hands for removal goto thefirestore.com and get some interior structural firefighting gloves. Works like a charm for hot cans that just did a mag dump on a AR.

That's not entirely true. Bolt guns can and do suffer from the same issues.
