I've seen professional hunters like Steven Rinella that keep a piece of duct tape over their rifle barrel while hunting to keep all the crud out. They just shoot through the tape and report zero accuracy issues. Could you still do that with a suppressor? I imagine the physics would be similar to a neoprene wipe. Do you think there is any danger, physical or legal, of putting tape over your can to keep junk out?
Cheap rubber condoms will do the job.
I always wrap a piece of scotch tape over the muzzle when hunting. It works and is a whole lot better than getting snow or mud in the barrel when out in the field.
I don’t see how it could possibly be a problem.
Thanks. I'll be sure to try it when I actually get my cans.

I'm not worried about damaging a rifle barrel, I was specifically asking about using tape over a can.
I've never tried taping over my can.... especially in case of emergency.
Discovered, too late, the house guest didn't put a new roll of toilet paper in the dispenser.....
And when the wife finds them in your hunting bag “Honest honey, they are for my rifle barrel to keep the crud out”...... That will go over good.Quote:

^ yeah, not sure where you guys are finding condoms that will fit and stay on a rifle barrel.. ;)

Trojan extra large, just to make sure. Ribbed to make sure.

Yes, I use a piece of electrical tape when hunting suppressed. No POI shift at the ranges I hunt at. I haven’t tested it, but purging the can with inert gas might also reduce first round pop.
After a few “fun” competitions involving walking 24+ hours, I always cover my muzzle. Shit always gets in there.
Water balloons work pretty good, unless you have a larger than normal... barrel.

I like scotch tape because it offers no resistance and is easy to peal and clean off.
This year I hunted big game with a suppressor but didn't use any tape. I should have. I hunted a burn area where the ash was muddy and slick and I slipped several times. The muzzle hit the mud once and fortunately I caught it before it plugged with debris. I was able to clean it with a q-tip. I won't neglect the tape again.
Does that mean you DONT want to put tape on my muzzle?Quote:

I've just used gun oil. Guess that's why I have kids.
