    I think for a stateside civilian, using them while doing things such as hog hunting would be a prudent choice. I keep a couple on hand for such activities.

    We never plan on falling on our face in a big pile of mud, but sometimes the unexpected happens...

    I have seen them shot off by dumbasses... they split in a few places and fly across the range. It is called a range spider since the cap is flattened with multiple "legs".

    "Nice spider... 'sir'."

    I forgot to mention, I use tape now that I'm a Civilian, works the same when I'm in the woods. I take the tape off when I come inside. Plus, tape is universal fit.

    Muzzle caps work great if you are interested in rust on your muzzle break.

    I wouldn't recommend them to any PX Ranger. All they do is hold moisture next to your muzzle. They may keep small particles of dirt out, but nothing that wouldn't be ejected after the first round goes down range.

    I recently found a handful of these in my closet and never having used them before, decided to put them on the AR's and even the AK's in the safe. But now with the mentioning of possible corrosion, I'll be removing them pronto.

    I assume that the same corrosion risk would apply to the mag-well cover?

    2nd on that. I had used one until I noticed the rusted flash suppressor.

    I shot one off and got hit in the face by a piece of the plastic. Raised a welt. Had it been an unprotected eye, it could have sucked.
