The pouch that came with my m4-2000 mod 08...
Is the pouch just for storage and protection or is it heat resistant? Can I put my hot suppressor in there or use it to handle the hot suppressor without melting it?
Just curious, thanks!

Just flame test a small fringe loose thread.. Find a small spot of material that is not important and hold a flame near it.. if it starts to gloss over and melt that answers it... It does not take hardly ANY space to do this. An inside seam
My bet it's not a good idea.. If it's hot enough to not hold for more then 3-4 seconds I would not put it in there. Melted nylon on your can is a pisser to get off.
My favorite it to flame test "100% Cotton" and watch the polyester melt. Blow it out and smell plastic.
Made in China/Pakistan 100% cotton is about 3% mystery fibers. NOT good for gun patches.
But let's here from MIKE! What's the verdict...
I know my black nylon pouches will melt from back in 2007 I put my Cyclone in hot but not super hot. If I can hold it a few seconds it's cool enough.

How many different pouches could have shipped with the M4-2000 suppressors?1_ar_newbie wrote:Can you post a pic of your pouch?
Are some heat resistant and some not?

Ive put my m4-2000 in that pouch when it was still just a smidge to hot to handle for a few seconds and its always been fine...no melted off material or whatnot....to give you an idea of how good that nomex material is, they line anti-mirage suppressor covers with it...the can obviously heats up with that cover installed so its taking all of it for a while.

Really? You're surprised that a big metal cylinder gets hot when you run super heated gasses through tiny baffles inside.ilintner wrote:After shooting a magazine out of my 556 SBR I was pretty surprised about how hot the m42k got.
After 30 rounds it'll get hot enough to seriously burn you.
It's toasty. I recall it taking about 5-10 minutes to fully handle it.
In comparison to my friend's gemtech on his 16" ar it seems to heat up substantially quicker... but yeah I am aware that they get hotlawndartdesign wrote:Really?

Same here, I have a brand new tan one I would love to trade out for a MC one. Also does anyone know if the MC Evo9 suppressor pouch listed on the website is the same as the M42k one and is there one for the Cyclone yet?Omega_556 wrote:Well if anyone else has the multi-cam pouch and doesn't like it I'll trade my you my tan pouchlawndartdesign wrote:That's the same style pouch that came with my M4-2000.
Glad I got the Khaki/CB version, rather than multi-cam...yuck (no knock against the pouch, just the pattern).
