Enfield Muzzle Covers

**gbalke** · 07-27-2012 11:49 PM

Can any one here tell me if these Enfield muzzle covers are actual military issue or not, and if so, were they used in WW I, WW II or both? Peter?

Thanks,

Gary

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Hi
I have never seen this type of cover on British icon

service Enfields rifles on issue during WW1 or WW2, and would expect it to have broad arrow or other markings if military issue. Perhaps you should put the picture on the Vintage Military Gear forum someone on there might recognise it

Those don't look like the Enfield muzzle covers I've seen. I still have plenty of Australian icon

ones in stock.

Brian,

Do you know if any of those Aussie muzzle covers are war dated or are they post war? Liiking for a war dated cover for my '44 dated Lithgow.

I've never seen those before. Only action covers. Never seen them in any field pics either. I think they're someone's dream.

The covers are for the Bren gun.

If your after a cover for the SMLE, then you will need to look on their SMLE page, they have them listed for $9.99 USD. They are Australian icon

and dated 1952

Yes, saw those on the web site. I'm looking for a war dated cover though, not post war.

**Brian Dick** · 07-29-2012 07:34 PM

All of the ones I have left are 1952-53 like the ones in the picture above. I had quite a few 1944-45 dated ones but all are long gone.

1952 dated muzzle covers are war dated --- Korean War dated.
