M1 Garand muzzle cover

[Bizio]

Hi all,
I bought in USA this M1 Garand muzzle cover but when I try to fit over my M1 Garand it seems it is very tight. I wonder if it is for M1 Carbine instead.

Here is the photo with the quotes.
Should you own one muzzle cover for M1 Garand can you please check and compare my quotes with yours ?
Thank you in advance.

Whatever you do dont store the Garand with the cover on they seem to attract mositure and I have seen muzzles with rust spots from them

muzzle covers for the M14, M16 and M3 magazine plus two chamber flags to indicate an empty chamber

Thanks for your warning, Orlando. I was aware of that.

I have several muzzle covers like you have Bizio, they all fit very tight on the M1 30.06! They were meant to fit on the Garand as well as on the M1 carbine.

Thanks theholeinthedonut.

I think the strip is too short for M1 Garand, or maybe poppers distance is wrong so that I can't lock the strip around the barrel.

They fit tight,and the strap will fit,You just cant wrap it around the main cover.It will fit below it.Also,when You put it on start at the lock screw and then slide upwards over the front sight.Here is a pic of one I put on to demonstrate.HTH

Thanks Prince Humperdink, will try that way.

Even if it was not easy to lock the popper, it worked. Thanks again.

You are very Welcome.This may be the reason that the ones I have seen in original WW2 Pictures have the strap either hanging or removed.

Is that true that during WWII some soldiers used to cover their M1 muzzles with a condom and not with the proper canvas cover ?
I thought this was a use during Vietnam war only ...
