    Default Muzzle rubbers, what are they called?

    I'm looking for some of the little "rubbers" that fit over the end of a muzzleloader barrel to keep out the rain. It always rains here in muzzleloader season and I had a bad experience with getting my powder wet the year before last. Anyone have any ideas where I can get some? Thanks, Greg

    Get some surgical gloves and cut the fingers off-cheap and work great or use a ballon

    They are called "finger cots". If you search the internet you can find them at decent prices. You may also check your local drug store. They come in different sizes. Match the size to your barrel.

    These things were marketed by Traditions. They were called "Muzzle Mitts"

    Go to the Traditions website and do a search on muzzle mitts.

    I finally found them on their website. 4 bucks for 10 muzzle mittens and 10 cap holders/securers. I actually stopped by my local drugstore and bought 24 of the finger cots (all of which will fit my muzzle) for 3 bucks. The way I figure it I'm set for 12 years of shooting 2 deer per muzzleloader season. Thanks for the input. GT

    I have used black balloons for years. They do the same and do not cost anywhere nears what the others are asking.

    Even cheaper solution.

    Take a piece of black electrical tape and put it over the end of the barrel. It will simply blow off when you pull the trigger, yet it keeps all the water out.
