Muzzle-Cover 'jungle'
Posted: Tue Feb 13, 2024 7:39 am
Original U.S. Krag 'Muzzle-Cover/Front-Sight Protectors' have become a very expensive item.
There are a number of these accessories for sale, this week, on eBay.
A couple, that I noticed are suspicious.
One is either a bad replica or has been harshly 'reshaped' on a belt-sander.
Another one appears to have its solid steel pin replaced, with a 'roll-pin'.
There are reproduction Krag Muzzle-Covers on the market. These are sold as reproductions and are made with a copper pin.
This is definitely a "Buyer Beware" accessory.
The Krag novice needs to be cautious and study examples before spending the bucks.
Attached photos: A couple of suspect muzzle-covers and a real one.
