SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are now available from U.S. Tactical Supply. Manufactured from a high-temperature silicone composite, SUPCOV covers securely attach directly to the suppressor, and feature internal and external ribs which encourage cooling through convection, greatly increasing the elimination of mirage.
Multiple models of SUPCOV covers exist for suppressors of various sizes and makes. Available in Black or Coyote Brown depending on the model. SUPCOV Suppressor Covers are made in the USA.
As an example, these are the test results of the performance of the M110 SUPCOV as posted by U.S. Tactical Supply:
Test Results on the M110 SUPCOV:
Conditions
Daylight hours
94 degrees
3 x Sniper Instructors
Standard Iron Maiden targets (40”x 20”)
TEST Parameters:
1 x M110 Sniper Rifle fired 1 round every 2-3 seconds with no suppressor sleeve.
1 x M110 Sniper Rifle fired 1 round every 2-3 seconds with a suppressor sleeve.
Both weapons continued with this rate of fire until barrel mirage was too great to accurately engage targets.
Both weapons engaged the same target at approximately 467 meters.
Results:
M110 with no suppressor sleeve began to have significant barrel mirage at 21 rounds; shooter was unable to engage targets and be able to identify what he was engaging after 25 rounds.
M110 with the suppressor sleeve did not have any significant barrel mirage until 91 rounds; shooter was able to engage targets for another 3 rounds until he was unable to identify targets.

Zero mention of the fact these are from Bowers group. Why?
These are Tom’s? I’m in.
These do work, the only issue I have is that once it heats up it slowly slides forward off my AAC 7.62 SD.
quote from BowerGroupLLC
“It is important though, to follow the instructions when installing the cover for optimal performance and prevent “walking”. It should be difficult to remove and should go on pretty slick only if installed wet per the instructions. The cover can be chucked into the dishwasher, and the can can be wiped down with alcohol to remove residual oils that will prevent the cover from sticking to the can as it’s designed to do. The cover doesn’t need to be removed after each use. Do remove if dipping or cleaning your suppressor in solvent. You can also cut a flap into the cover when installing if you need to show serial nos.
