Muzzle covers?
 

Gents, can anyone tell me if these to bags at the top of the pic are muzzle covers?, perhaps for rhe 2 pdr, bofers etc?.

Thanks Kevin.

They are mop caps, the bag that cleaning mops and pull-throughs are kept in.

Muzzle covers have a strap, not a drawstring.

Adrian, ok thanks

Bugger! Mine was sold to me as a muzzle cover :whinge Ron

The No 4 is listed as the mop bag for 2 and 6 pounder A/T guns

They usually are sold as muzzle covers, makes them sound much more sexy!

Sexy? Glad I have that protection on the end! I don't want to be breeding little mongrel guns :wacko: Ron

Well Ron, if your 2 pdr does have pups, I'll have one please! :cheers:

Muzzle covers
 

Hi all,

Speaking of muzzle covers, can anyone help me identify this one please?

I'm assuming it is a muzzle cover. It is dated 1944 inside the cover. The diameter at the end is about 7", or around 180mm.

I would say they look like 5.5" covers, but I would have to measure the muzzle to be sure.
Regards
Mel

Muzzle cover
 

Hi Mel,

Thanks for that. I certainly don't have a 5.5" gun so it is of no use to me. I'll put it in the for sale section and see if it is of use to anyone.

Muzzle cover
 

Hi Mel,

It looks like I've answered my own question. I pulled the cover inside out and got under some good light and it says:

COVER MUZZLE
3.7
? 1944 ?

It seems big for a 3.7" barrel but I guess if it had the big flared muzzle brake it would be right.

I should have looked harder in the first place!

Thanks for your help.

Bag

This is what you need if anyone wants to make any. I need one for the Daimler but I don't own the original to copy.
