    I just got a couple of rolls from aliexpress too. I out it on to protect from scratches. Also, camo jist makes you look kewler.

    I also thought about wrappjng my rossi puma in it. That thing is like a god damned mirrorball.

    I found that on mine it affected POA as well. Could not figure it out until I took the tape off to take a closer look at the suppressor for damage. Maybe it is something to do with vibrations and harmonics, maybe not. All I know is my 30/06 shot way better without it. But dead gorse makes a real racket on the suppressor.

    Thanks for that some good buggers on here

    I tried the AliExpress camp tape... kept coming undone in damp / cold conditions. Is there a trick to making it stay put?

    I put a a wrap or two with electrical tape to stick the last bit down.

    I gave a mae suppressor to my nabour that was stainless which was a bit to bright for him

    he used shrink wrap on it the stuff for big cables
    It came up so good and professional (we did it together with my heat gun) that i considered doing it to mine
    perfect matt black finish and tough anyway if your looking for another option
    Hunty1, timattalon and takbok like this.
