Well, here's the little muzzle cover, cobbled together from some tire inner tube;

We use electrician's tape on our hunting rifle muzzles all year, dust in summer, snow in winter, but taping a tube mag 94 is a pain and when used in snow and wet on the double tube gun the tape doesn't always stick. This little gizmo should work ok and naturally can be shot thru if necessary tho I can't imagine it will be.

OB: this tang-safety Trapper is the plain-jane .44 Mag stoked with my revolver load; 18.5 grains 2400 + 240 JHP. This you may remember is the same powder charge Elmer and Bob used in their balloon head .44 specials {of nearly identical capacity} back in the '40's. I get just about 1175-1200 fps in the revolver {6.5 inch Smith 29-9} and it is a pop-gun load in the Trapper. I no longer have a .45 colt but when I did the load I used used the old original Lyman 454109 semi-pointed Army bullet so I steered clear of tube mag guns and the .45 colt. with flat point bullets, I have heard many good things about them in the Trapper. As you say, very accurate.

Winchester really lawyered these guns to death; the original grip safety + added rebounding hammer + added tang safety. Geeez a guy has to do some fairly complex trigonometry just to get the thing to go bang...

Anyway, I like it overall.

We have used this rifle mostly for butcher stock shooting and a very little on the trapline so it rests in the safe and is dragged out mostly only on kill day. But from here on in it's cushy days are over.
