[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Covering up muzzle

Posted: 1/8/2007 3:11:23 PM EDT

So with the rainy season going on in Iraq and having mud everywhere in a vehicle comes the question, what can I use to cover up the flash suppressor so that it doesn't get into the barrel? The mud plugs are missing from my tuff box, and until I get resupply I need a way to cover it up and still be able fire the weapon without having to take it off manually. I heard that electrical tape over it running one piece over in one direction then another the other way to form a sort of X works and it will peel off when the first shot is fired. Any methods?

That works when I hunt in bad conditions. The tape just shoots right off.

Keep in mind that you will trap moisture around the muzzle with a cap.

Keep the weapon PROPERLY LUBRICATED inside and out.

I saw way too much rust during the rainy season from soldiers who didn't take care of weapons. (Aviation)

I helped many of them understand it is easier to maintain their weapon than suffer my wrath...
