    Might be wrong here but I'm not sure the cover makes it any quieter. In relation to mods and covers I have usually heard deer stalkers wanting them to stop branches etc making noise when hitting off the mod.

    I have a cover on my stalking rifle mod to camo up the mod and stop branches making a "ding" if they tipped off it as you said. But i was happy to discover that there was a notable difference in report from my mod with a 10mm neoprene cover fitted snugly on it. I'm hoping for a similar reduction in noise on my hmr but well see what happens.
    I can only find bulk orders of the hose online but if anyone works with this materail or can guide me to where I can get a short lenght of it that would be great

    FWIW ,try a surf or scuba diving shop.
    They somtimes have patch kits and lengths of neoprene and the glue for wet suit repair.You could custom make your own sleeve if need be.Only thing is you might be limited to just one colour,black,as most wet suits are high viz colours.

    Ill look into that. Black would be grand. I could always use Camo tape on it. If I got the glue I could alter a standard mod cover. A lenght of hose would be the job tho

    Why not just buy another neoprene cover, take out the stitches and cut/ stitch it back down to the size you need
