LMT 10.5"+ yhm phantom = good to go  LMT 10.5"+ yhm phantom+tab sas2 suppressor cover = not good to go  Hooligan22 and i were at the range today. I wanted to try out my tab gear sas2 suppressor cover. It's rated to a solid 1800 degrees. It's mainly to cut down mirage when shooting with optics and allows the user to grip the can when it's hot. Well that wasn't my expirence. I had shot 2 mags and passed of the rifle..before the 3rd mag was finished we noticed wet spots and then before it was too late the cover bubbled and fused itself to the can  We werent doing mag dumps...though it was a steady rate of fire.  son of a bitch was so hot we could barely touch it...so in the snow it went  had to cut the bastard off...still damn hot   trying to scrape off what was fried to the can  damn it was taking forever to cool off   remnants of the cover     All in all i liked the idea of the cover. I used a nomex glove before that was dubbed the "love glove" and it worked pretty damn well. I figured this should work well. I thought since the cover was rated to "1800 degrees" I would be fine. My barrel would pop before we reached that range. I guess that's not so...we didnt even make it to 100 rounds before the fun started. |

heh yeah i contacted Tony the designer and out of two years of testing he's never heard or seen this before. So he offered to refund my money or exchange for a new cover. I chose a new cover Hell i could care less what the finish on my can looks like. Anyone who knows me ..none of my shit is safe queened..finish is unimportant to me when it comes to working class rifles.
