A picture that speaks a thousand words...
Any of our GI colleagues here protect their rifles just like this?
Anecdotes are most welcome

Finally ... a "safe" gun 
I know this was a humorous post, but I have actually found a great FREE way to protect the muzzle... Film cannisters! They are free from any processing store just for the asking, and fit over the flash supressor of AR's. I use them to protect the lining of my safe from my Phantom supressor.
They're also great for holding little screws and other parts.

We still did it that way in the 80s/90s. Also used the fingers cut off of rubber surgical gloves.

I sent a care package to a young marine in my old Unit who is in Kuwait or Iraq (not sure yet) righ now. My wife works at a dental office. Included in the package were about 2 dozen 'finger dams'. These are smaller sized rubbers, perfect for the muzzle of a weapon (primary use is for a dentist to stick one finger in your mouth, or to cover insturments to keep them clean in high dust areas).
Make sure that you use lube-free rubbers, otherwise you have a slippery weapon

True Story - or "How I Won Permenant OPFOR Duty"
LT Brown was brand new to our unit. Replacing our old LT who just got his Captains bars and a step up to Company Commander.
Brown was a walking one man Cluster-F. Ate Up as we would say. An ROTC graduate that suddenly became the font of all that is military - you coulnt tell him ANYTHING.
We were out in the field doing some exercises on 11B matters... when the wind started to kick up some dust. Most of the guys pulled out the little film cannister type covers, and others used various bags secured with a rubber band.
Brown used a Trojan and from what we could tell it was "Ribbed for His Pleasure". (No, we didn't like Brown and we wanted OUR LT back!) He was running between positions telling men to move up or move over.... his circular defense perimeter had to be a perfect circle. (whole other story there!) Someone to my left remarked "What a waste!" Referring to the condom. I wispered back "What else is he going to use it for?"
He was Right Behind Me.
After that moment, I was assinged to OPFOR every time...
Brown didn't realize it, but he awarded me the distinct pleasure of personally taking his arse out with the first shots of any ambush or engagement. In fact, just for fun, I would infiltrate the camp or snipe him from long range even when the OPFOR wasn't actively attacking.
He lost a lot of sleep. Sucker.
Oh, and if Brown is a THR member nowdays....
YOU SUCK!

George - Excellent story... Thanks for sharing!
BTW, here at work, where everyone's wound up tighter than your buddy Brown's "night cap"... There's a group of guys who use "descriptive language" (called Operations lingo here) to define system crashes etc...
Your summation of LT would effectively be referred to as a "Flustered Cluck", which you can say in mixed company
I can't TELL you how much fun it was at a morning Status meeting once, when I was oncall, and the Division VP read a write-up from an overnite operations guy who also "uses the language". As she read his report about the night's issues, "The entire TS1 Commercial network was completely...." she paused, looked up, and asked "What the heck is a FUBAR?"
Yes, I answered

I never got that fancy. I just used military issue muzzle protectors that we had in the Arms Room.
I've never seen those at any surplus store or in Brigade Quartermaster. Anyone know of a source?
