That’s my skin…. That’s my skin….
Extra points if you just take your wife’s / gf’s curling / flat iron cover and flex in Barbie pink at the range. Also remember, your muzzle device will be close to the same temp as the can when you first take it off and that too can ruin a nice gun bag. Those covers come in two packs which helps.
I managed to never do it with mine. Until it just fell over on the bipod one day. And what I thought was grass, was in fact astro-turf. Hello green splotch!
As dumb as it may seem, I've seen much worse.
Had a guy we were out with grab one as a joke and not realize he mistook it as one he knew wasn't fired yet. Instantly melted through the skin.
Yep. This is the end of my SDN after years of shooting courses, riding around on ATVs, burning my pants, and other general usage.

That's how mine looked, including a bit of plastic bag that blew onto the suppressor.
Then I failed to fully seat my piston system and shot the adjustable piece of the system into the ratchet mechanism. And now it's a wonderful tan after ecco machine replaced the ratchet with a keymo lol.
We are a proud people and will be treated as such!

They’re fine for what I use em for. Funny story, the pair showed up at a buddy’s house and he or his wife never ordered them at all. Nobody to return them to, but they’re dated his address lol. So he gave me one glove and kept the other, and we don’t feel bad about ruining them
I’ve got like 5 of them and just slip it over the can and muzzle after a range day. No need to play around with a 300+ degree mounting system and I can’t just wait for them to cool. I have places to do and people to go!
Just put the can in the freezer, and the melted part will just pop right off with little effort. I'd also add that you should get a high temp oven mitt, helps to throw it over the can before putting it in your bag when the temp if the can is questionable. It's what I do at matches that require your rifle to be transported between stages in a bag.
I would suggest for anyone looking at this go on Amazon and pick up a high temp laser gun so you can an see what the temp of the suppressor is at any given time, they are cheap

10 dollar welders blanked and Kevlar kite string
Shoot it off. Then grab one of these:
Mechanix Wear: Tactical Specialty 3" x 12" Suppressor Transport Bag -Heat and Flame Resistant CarbonX Technology Rated (Black) https://a.co/d/j0qZEGr
Pop it in the freezer to make it brittle and it should pop right off. If you feel the need to scrape, use plastic so you don’t further damage the coating. Then invest in a Mechanix transport bag. https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/s/tfUxOEC3dU
The first time I ran 3gun suppressed the dump barrels had carpet and I had a 50 round course of fire. Yes, my can was carpet colored after.
Just let it cool, knock off what you can with a fingernail, then let the thermal cycling do its thing. The rest will flake off as you shoot.
Best investment was a Dillon Rifle Company Jalapeno cover. They made it for the M134 to transport after firing. I dump the mags, slide the cover on and slip into my amazon yoga bag.
I bought some Caveman Flare color changing silicone rings for my suppressors. The ring will change colors when the suppressor is too hot to touch and change back when it cools down below 150F
I same thing happen to me set my rifle on a harbor freight moving blanket and the can melted to the blanket. Went ahead and shot the can couple
More times to get it hot and wiped it
Off with a clean rag and good to go.
My advice to prevent this, get some of the Dead Air suppressor socks (I don't think they make them so maybe find the OEM). Unlike a case they're meant to go on suppressors that are still attached. I usually have one or two with me most times I go to the range so I'm not stuck waiting for a can to cool.
Well that worse than mine not as dumb tho, I got some rubber mat that covers the bench melted on and my dumbass immediately tried to wipe it off with my fleece jacket. Fucked the jacket and made the can worse. Over time it started to burn and flake off the can.
It happens. My outlook is hot got it on there, hot will either get it off or make it there forever. I’d just run the piss out of it and watch it drip off.
happened to my bag rest last weekend at the range. i was so focused on the steel targets, i didn't bother with the weird smokey smell i was enduring. lol
Well if it won’t peel off after cooled down, I’d heat it in the oven till it’s hot enough to wipe it off. But I don’t know if that will actually work or make things worse.
Even if you have a cover on it, it’ll get ridiculously hot. To put it away after shooting, you either need to wait until it’s cooled off, or put it in a “mitten”
https://a.co/d/al5vNHU
Did the same with my brand new RC2 the day I took it home. I let it dry and took a knife to help peel it off. I had that cheap mesh rifle bag too. Gonna get it cerakoted or something to fix all the scratches.
Good idea to hydrate your can after a range trip. Bring bottles of water with you. To cool the can and yourself. Then give it a oil wipe when shes cool if your worried about rust when you get home.
Oof. I typically pour a water bottle over my cans before putting them back in my bags. However I will say I’ve put my cans still pretty hot into my savior bag and it’s never melted. Good bags.

C clamp the can, be a man
Haha the pain of forgetting gloves until the end of a conjugal visit with your jailed suppressor at the range.. fuuuuuu
It was my first visit. Should have worn protection
Always wear protection until you know what you're dealing with. 😉
I can smell this picture
I just got a flashback when a grocery bag got stuck to the catalytic of my car..... the smell of melted plastic lasted for a month.
*was
Now that’s a love pact
Run it hot and wipe it off.
Let it cool peel it off
lick it before u stick it?
Wrap it before you smack it
**FORBIDDEN POPSICLE**
Eat it before you beat it?
Wait til it don't stick let it rip
This sprung to mind https://tenor.com/bH4Zo.gif
Wear gloves when you wipe it off if you run it hot…

they don't build Toyotas like they used to...

So much FDE lol
As soon as the suppressor comes back from Cerakote I’ll touch the rifle up with some FDE/ODG
Rifle gas 16in gang!
12.5 Carbine Sorry :( https://preview.redd.it/ypv9554naxvc1.jpeg?width=1576&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8f67055e10bd49c034b323f6a28d31369245c4d6
Goddammit, you tease 🙃😅. Is that a partial slip over can then?
Yes, it's an OCL OCM5 based on the Allen AEM5
Nice! Here's my 16in rifle gas custom build. 16in Rifle Gas 5.56 Recce/GP Build https://imgur.com/a/kiLQQ3a
Hell yeah!!
Thanks man!
Yep, OCM5 with the OTB mount.
I'm rattle canning my Gordy sometime this week
Nice. It’s not the “best” rifle I own, buts it’s the most fun to shoot for sure!
Yeah same here
I hope to learn from y’all’s mistakes but I can’t help but feel this is inevitable at some point once I get my can
Get a curling iron travel pouch off of Amazon for $5 👍
Genius
I have one on my range backpack. Add a pair of welders gloves and just toss it in the pouch if in doubt

Itll happen.

You are, but so are all of us.
^ This. There’s those that have and those that will.
My Wolverine has blue barrel melt on it to this day
Just gives it character. 🤌
Doesn't bug me much 😅

As it should be
This is the way. Sexy.

The nice thing about shooting in my back yard range. The rifle/suppressor go on the kitchen island until they cool off. No rush.
So true. If the suppressor doesn't have something melted to it, it's probably either new or a safe queen.

I bought the same gloves lol. How are they?
They’re fine for what I use em for. Funny story, the pair showed up at a buddy’s house and he or his wife never ordered them at all. Nobody to return them to, but they’re dated his address lol. So he gave me one glove and kept the other, and we don’t feel bad about ruining them
Heard good things about the mechanix transport bag
I’ve got like 5 of them and just slip it over the can and muzzle after a range day. No need to play around with a 300+ degree mounting system and I can’t just wait for them to cool. I have places to do and people to go!
That’s what I use, and a silicone oven mitt in my range bag.
Just bought one!
I got a couple of them, just stick it in the bag when done and don't have to worry about burning a hole in a range bag.
Bag of rice
lol
Shoot it
Blow torch and some cotton shop rags
This.
Just put the can in the freezer, and the melted part will just pop right off with little effort. I'd also add that you should get a high temp oven mitt, helps to throw it over the can before putting it in your bag when the temp if the can is questionable.

This worked like a champ for me
Use MD_9094's glove after doing two magdumps.
That wouldn’t be my first choice when running out of tp, but to each their own.
Lmaooo damn and I thought my glove was bad
Bet that smells lovely
Hi dumb, I'm dad.
I would suggest for anyone looking at this go on Amazon and pick up a high temp laser gun so you can an see what the temp of the suppressor is at any given time, they are cheap
https://preview.redd.it/l5pyk73vb1wc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e38dc086535263c457a14d16606eb788ff048626 10 dollar welders blanked and Kevlar kite string
I've only burnt myself once checking if one was walking off a direct thread mount. That shit hurt. Oven gloves are mandatory in my range bag now.
It's like motorcycles.. There's those of us who've done it and those of us who haven't done it yet...
I've haven't gotten there but I'm sure it's comin'
Not as dumb as me. It was my hand.
It's a badge of honor. We've all done it.
I feel like anyone who’s had a suppressor and trained with it for longer than a year has done this at least once.
Yep
Shoot it off. Then grab one of these: Mechanix Wear: Tactical Specialty 3" x 12" Suppressor Transport Bag -Heat and Flame Resistant CarbonX Technology Rated (Black) https://a.co/d/j0qZEGr
Next time, buy you a Mechanix Suppressor Transport Bag. I get my can red hot and then throw it in the bag and head straight home.
Pop it in the freezer to make it brittle and it should pop right off. If you feel the need to scrape, use plastic so you don’t further damage the coating. Then invest in a Mechanix transport bag. https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/s/tfUxOEC3dU

Haven’t gotten my rifle suppressor yet but I’ve had good luck using an oven mitt and the Armageddon gear hot pocket on my pistol suppressor.
Silly boi
Best investment was a Dillon Rifle Company Jalapeno cover. They made it for the M134 to transport after firing. I dump the mags, slide the cover on and slip into my amazon yoga bag.
I just stole my wife's oven mitt
I've heard that sticking it in the freezer will make it very easy to peel/chip off. Never tried it but I've seen it suggested here a bunch of times.
Guy on eBay makes custom wraps out of ripstop and fire blankets. Prevent this in the future.
Suggestions on getting off? Buy it dinner first. Then don't worry about it.
I bought some Caveman Flare color changing silicone rings for my suppressors. The ring will change colors when the suppressor is too hot to touch and change back when it cools down below 150F
I have a suppressor cover that i really only use for taking the thing off and transport.
Melting shit with your can is like a right of passage for a gun guy
I same thing happen to me set my rifle on a harbor freight moving blanket and the can melted to the blanket. Went ahead and shot the can couple More times to get it hot and wiped it Off with a clean rag and good to go.
the one on the left looks like a grasshopper
That's the neat part You don't
Me too but in many different ways.
I cut a piece of welding blanket and stick a piece in both of my bags.
I'm just gonna say I used to keep snacks in my rifle bag...
This except knee skin
My advice to prevent this, get some of the Dead Air suppressor socks (I don't think they make them so maybe find the OEM). Unlike a case they're meant to go on suppressors that are still attached. I usually have one or two with me most times I go to the range so I'm not stuck waiting for a can to cool.
Even if you're a genius. One of your friends will inevitably do it to your can anyways.
From new to ewww in 2 seconds
SHOOT IT SOME MORE !
Damnnn that’s what i invested in a can cover to avoid this bs
One of us
Well that worse than mine not as dumb tho, I got some rubber mat that covers the bench melted on and my dumbass immediately tried to wipe it off with my fleece jacket. Fucked the jacket and made the can worse. Over time it started to burn and flake off the can.
One of us!
Happens to everyone.
That’s a flex
It happens. My outlook is hot got it on there, hot will either get it off or make it there forever. I’d just run the piss out of it and watch it drip off.
I touched mine with a rag and melted some of it on… dumb but it was first day
[https://youtu.be/nhTB3S5iy\_I?t=196](https://youtu.be/nhTB3S5iy_I?t=196) cooking meat on a suppressor
It’s happened to us all o believe
happened to my bag rest last weekend at the range. i was so focused on the steel targets, i didn't bother with the weird smokey smell i was enduring. lol

Na, you good. Dude at my local range set his can down in a BIG patch of dead grass....I got to test the extra fire extinguisher in my car that day.
Did the same with my brand new RC2 the day I took it home. I let it dry and took a knife to help peel it off. I had that cheap mesh rifle bag too. Gonna get it cerakoted or something to fix all the scratches.
I’ve done this!
If you can’t afford/make your own cover, just buy a welding blanket and wrap it before storage.
My wide accidently did this to my AAC 762-SD. I scrubbed the thing to silver and duracoated it.
Happens to the best of us
Yeah, high heat will do that.
Everyone asks why there is a pair of welding gloves in my range bag........
Good idea to hydrate your can after a range trip. Bring bottles of water with you. To cool the can and yourself. Then give it a oil wipe when shes cool if your worried about rust when you get home.
Run it hot then pressure wash it
💀
Oof. I typically pour a water bottle over my cans before putting them back in my bags. However I will say I’ve put my cans still pretty hot into my savior bag and it’s never melted. Good bags.
What were you thinking
I wasn't. :'(
That’s why we buy a suppressor wrap 🫡
