The early 1889 muzzle cover was held in place by the stacking rod and as it was often lost it was soon changed for the 1892 model.

The 1911 model came as well in brass as the rare war time aluminum version. The arm was bend in a different way with these as the front sight was... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Hawkster318) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/sreply/88675 Thu, 28 May 2009 08:38:32 GMT http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/reply/88673/t/muzzle-caps.html#reply-88673

Some muzzle covers.....

The one for the long rifles are mostly in brass but during the war also aluminum versions were made.
For the M1897 cadet rifle there is a similar muzzle cover with a more narrow "cup".

The early K11's had... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Hawkster318) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/sreply/88673 Thu, 28 May 2009 08:34:08 GMT http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/reply/88672/t/muzzle-caps.html#reply-88672
Another welcome to you!

As wkato said, the brass style would be more appropriate on the earlier models, while the aluminum would be found on later models.

That being said, a muzzle cap is a muzzle cap, so whatever you have will work for now.

Dunno, but I'll check and see if there is a picture showing a side by side. 1911 and 96/11s had different caps between them as well. IIRC the 89 also had a different cap.

I really don't think it matters, the brass cap would be more appropriate on a 34. The aluminum ones would have come out during the war when brass was in short supply. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (wkato) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/sreply/88664 Wed, 27 May 2009 22:32:25 GMT http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/reply/88637/t/muzzle-caps.html#reply-88637 feeds@yuku.com (elginrunner) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/sreply/88637 Wed, 27 May 2009 14:19:44 GMT http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/reply/88627/t/muzzle-caps.html#reply-88627 feeds@yuku.com (velvetnsteel) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/sreply/88627 Wed, 27 May 2009 11:12:38 GMT http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/topic/17450/t/muzzle-caps.html
First I'd like to say that this has got to be the best swiss rifle forum I've found......

I've recently purchased a 1948 birch k31 and have come down with the swiss flu..... I've got a 1934 walnut on the way and was wondering if the aluminum muzzle cap the correct one ??
Or maybe I should ask if the info is posted some where??

I know, I know pics, pics, pics.... lost camera usb cord.... got another coming. : )

Thanks... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (elginrunner) http://curioandrelicfirearmsforum.yuku.com/topic/17450 Wed, 27 May 2009 07:38:41 GMT
