The Front Sight protector is a British Service issue. It was used ONLY for Parade & Rifle drill use. It's purpose was to prevent the weapon snagging on any of the uniform at the Foresight protector. Or gas plug areas.
I have seen these advertised by a well known company for sale in the US. As, 'Brush Protector's'. This is TOTALY incorrect, the above statment is the correct one.
Common sense would dictate, that if you tried to aim the Rifle with the protector fitted, you would NOT be able to take a proper aim as the sight is then obscured!

The rails were for night vision sights. (night scope) like the AN PVS 502(I think)?? It's been a while. The normalish short body cover was an early one from a trials type rifles. As Tanky states the foresight cover is just that. We didn't use them in the field at all.

The largest cover/mount is for the PAS4 IR scope. It's the 2nd from left scope in my photo. I put it on backwards for the photo, but you get the idea.
The other ones, I don't know, they aren't the normal cover for the PVS502. That cover is the 3rd from left in my photo. Maybe the ones in your photo are some sort of prototype or unit made cover???

I don't know what happened to the photos of the covers and optics, I put in the last post? This site does some strange things sometimes....

Try this again.
Apparently I can't figure out how to post photos. It works on every other site, just don't know how to do it here...
