Hey guys... I used to use electrical tape or the like for protecting my barrel from collecting crap all the time... how do you do that with a muzzle break? I have the nomad and gunbearer and either on my pack or on my hip the muzzle is in the air...

I switched from tape to balloons, because I pack rifles with brakes.

Electrical tape for me too. I tried balloons like Stid said, but they just kept breaking on me.

Depending on the break look into finger cots. You can buy them at drug stores. Like condoms for your fingers. More durable than balloons.

Another one for finger cots. I purchased a bag of a couple hundred in black on Amazon for a few bucks. They rolled down over my brake without issue, but it had smaller circular holes. They may not work as nicely on the larger side port style brakes. Pros would be that you could pack 50 of them before they started to add up on a scale, and could be used as they were intended if you cut yourself while field dressing. Cons would be that you would still want to have some electrical tape anyway for other uses.
