Likely a good idea, but I've never bothered, nor do I know anyone who does.
Yes all the time .
Only on my ML.
i have a sock i use/ sleeve.
x2 on the finger cots...and only on my ML...there is a old saying "Keep your Powder Dry )
On my muzzle loaders, and on any rifle larger than .243 , as when traveling through the bush, if rifle is on a sling over the shoulder, it doesn't take much to have a piece of twig or shouch to fall down the barrel and cause a catastrophe when the trigger is squeezed
on a shot.
Duct tape is tougher than finger cots and stays on better in this case.
Taping over a barrel makes me nervous. I can't get over the "obstructed muzzle" concept that's been ingrained for 60 years. I always carry a shotgun or rifle in the muzzle down position when the weather is really crappy. Taping over a barrel may be fine. It's just me.
Same here....never once had an issue !!Quote:
