HK G3 Muzzle Protector

G3 Muzzle Protector

This is a German Army issue muzzle protector for the HK G3 rifle. It covers the muzzle end of the barrel to keep dust, rain, mud and grit out of the bore while the rifle is carried, stored or transported. G3 owners use it to protect the muzzle, and collectors and reenactors use it to complete an accurate Bundeswehr setup.

Features

• German Army Issue — This protector was supplied to the German armed forces, not made as an aftermarket accessory.
• Made For The HK G3 — It is sized for the muzzle of the Heckler & Koch G3, the battle rifle the Bundeswehr carried as its standard service arm.
• Bore Protection — The closed cap keeps dirt, water and debris from getting into the barrel when the rifle is not in use.
• Grooved Grip End — Raised ribs around one end give your fingers something to hold, so the cap is easier to pull off quickly.
• Plain Cylindrical Body — The smooth tube has no moving parts, so there is nothing to adjust or break.
• Black Finish — The flat black color matches the rifle's furniture and metalwork.
• Period-Correct Detail — Reenactors and collectors can add an authentic issue piece to a G3 display or kit.

Bundeswehr Issue

The G3 served for decades as the German Army's standard rifle, and small fittings like this muzzle protector were part of the soldier's issued equipment. Because this is original government-issue kit, it was made to the specification the army set for its own rifles. Collectors value that provenance over a generic aftermarket cap.
