just realized this thread is many pages long & I have yet to post anything related to the original topic...

tape on zee barrel....

I guess i've done it more often with the muzzle loader than anything else, not that it couldn't bennifit me during regular rifle season too..

I guess for ML I do it because once I'm "loaded" with powder & bullet anyways, I like to keep a cap on the muzzle.

But with rifle I'm in & out of the cabin, switching rifles.... walking rifle, deer stand rifle.... etc, and when ever mine come in from hunting the action is open for 3 reasons, respect of others (shows easy visual proof of safe unloaded fire arm) 2, safety in itself (self explanitory) and 3, air out the tube & be able to visually check for obstructions. I can't air out the tube with tape over the end, so I'd be pulling it off at that point.

If I used tape all the time on my repeaters, I'd be taping all the time, tape it up, pull it off, tape it up, pull it off...

It's a damn good practice & I applaud those of you that take the time to do it. If conditions warrant it I'll do it too, but most of the time I don't.


Something clever here.

oh yeah we get wind.

that gets dangerous. to us, the term "wind chill" is taken quite seriously. It's kind of our... "snake bite" or... what ever sort of evil your region fears.. well, freezing's a ral thing & it don't take long if the still temp is -20 to -40 & you throw in a 25-30 MPH wind.

cars & trucks are way better these days, houses are better, heating systems... it's all way better than it was but it's still possible to get caught out in the cold.

33 pages of almost nothing....

Yes, I put tape over the barrel of most of my hunting rifles while in the field.
The compressed air ahead of the bullet blows it off, way before the bullet arrives...

If you have tape across the muzzle, you won't have obstructions in the barrel.. unless your using it as a tent stake...

Northern Dave... What is "airing out the barrel" and what purpose does that serve??

Not Northern Dave but I would guess he wants any possible condensation from the rifle going real cold to warm to dry quickly....

Egg-Zackery!!

that damn hot-cold-hot-cold is a bugger. I like to let the air move through everything things can dry as or shortly after condensation builds from coming in from the cold.

we warmed up here, balmy -13 this morning before i left for work.

Thanks for the photo. We had clouds and rain in S. TX.

I was thinking about some kind of "breathable" tape. Maybe good to keep out some objects, but let the barrel
breathe?

problem is, if it breathes too well... does it still blow off clean... oh never mind... I guess with a column of compressed air moveing towards the muzzle @ 2500-3000 fps, even if it was a single strand of thread across the muzzle opening it would be toast before the bullet got there.

The March issue of American Hunter has a little blurb about taped muzzles and effect on pressure, accuracy and point of impact.
