TonyE Posted 22 October , 2008 Share Posted 22 October , 2008 Risking a blatant thread hijack... This might actually be a good place to ask about other muzzle caps. I know there were slip-over designs for the CCLLE and hinged ones for GEW 98s, were there similar for M1917s, M1903 Springfields, Lebels, Berthiers, GEW 88s etc etc could we start a visual library after (Mike_H's excellent photo)...... Chris Rather that hi-jack the thread i thought I would start a new one. Here is a version of the Flanders mud flap on a Mark III Ross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted 22 October , 2008 Author Share Posted 22 October , 2008 Also, here is the muzzle protector for the Arisaka Type 30 and 38 rifles, plus a photo of a private in the 17th London with his Arisaka fitted with one. Regards TonyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andypepper Posted 26 October , 2008 Share Posted 26 October , 2008 On a recent tour Clive Harris quoted to us from 'The Pilgrim's Guide to the Ypres Salient' a description of a battalion coming out of the line "with their rifle muzzles protected by grey socks knitted by old ladies at home". Sorry no photo. Andyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
