    Cover Muzzle of HD Rifle

    I was wondering how many cover the muzzle of their HD rifle to keep dirt out of the bore and how it is covered?

    What kind of home do you live in where dirt gets inside easily? Maybe an example of what you're worried about?

    I live in a desert environment with a major dirt issue. If I leave my rifle sit for even a few days, I have to wipe it down and clean the bore to get dirt particles out.

    Never used one whether it was overseas or at home. I don't jam my muzzle in the dirt on a regular basis and if it happens on the range or training so be it.

    Do you store them outside or live in a sandbox? Just curious because I lived very close to Bakersfield and I live in the desert now and don't have these issues.

    Trying to figure out the context here.

    You could say I live in a sandbox. My house is in the middle of an arid and barren field and keep my windows and back door always open for pets and ventilation with my rifle sitting next to an open window.

    Prophylactics have been used to cover muzzles since at least WWII, but if you don't want a rubber hanging off your muzzle shoot through caps and even duct tape do the trick as well.

    This was my father's use for them as well, I use my mismatched socks as cleaning/rags.

    Not to disagree with many on this thread... but why WOULDNT you cover the muzzle? What is the con? I always keep mine covered and just take it off when i go to shoot the gun. You can buy shoot through muzzle protectors. OR you can use duct tape. I make a cap. Sticky side out on the duct tape, then a second layer sticky side in so that i can slide it on and off for cleaning or whatever. do it
