    Muzzle Cover

    I used the search first, to no avail . . .

    How do you cover your muzzle in the snow/rain/mud? If you use one of those black muzzle covers, where did you get them?

    If you use tape, what kind is best in terms of leaving the least amount of residue and shit behind?

    Thank you

    Tape can work if you don't have a USGI muzzle cover, and any tape is going to leave residue behind, but it's better than mud in your barrel. I don't know where to buy them.

    How about a CONdominium??: Unused and unlubed of course. A balloon might work also.

    Trojan, man.

    That was simple self gratification. I appologize.

    Not really, it works.

    You can wrap the muzzle with electrical tape, sticky side out, and then simply re-tape sticky side to sticky side.
    They shoot right off, but can also be removed by hand.

    I just want to add that if you use one of those plastic muzzle covers, take it off when it's not needed and keep the flash hider well oiled. Avoid the habit of leaving the cover on for long periods of time while you're not shooting the rifle. The covered portion of your barrel will be bright orange with rust when you eventually take it off.

    Good point. I need to oil mine.. I store muzzle up and use the red shoot-offs fro Fulton Armory.. I don't like them being red and will find others next time. Otherwise they work well.. Ron

    Good ideas all around. Thank you gentlemen.

    I think F2S has the cheapest and easiest method. Makes me wonder why I didn't think of it myself actually.
