22 July 2023 Garand Accessory Picture of the Day

[Mark in Rochester]

Taping muzzles has been pretty much standard practice for NZ hunting for at least 60 years. It makes no difference to accuracy (tape is usually blown off by air pressure ahead of the bullet) and it keeps water, snow, mud, etc. out of the bore. We don't bother with the secondary retaining wrap and use about 2" of plastic insulation tape with about a 3/8" overlap which blows free easily. After shooting just peel off and repeat. I have had to trim bulges from many muzzles over the years from new or careless hunters who don't follow the practice.

Here is a repro - but the tape in my box is Green not clear
