Red-dot Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 My AW asked me why i carried muzzle up as he said an accidental discharge was more risky to people on the recieving end. Small risk but a risk no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbox Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The main reason that I like to carry muzzle up is ,if it rains I put a piece of masking tape over the muzzle end to stop the rain getting into the barrel . Any water then runs down the barrel and the bolt housing and out the bottom of the carrier and not down the barrel . Carried muzzle down in the rain can allow water to ingress into the bolt housing and into the barrel and chamber . The piece of tape don't need to taken off the barrel and you can shoot through it . Harnser I have a hardy moderator on my stalking rifle, which has a sort of muzzle-break designed into the end. Unfortunately when it rains this design acts as a very effective funnel to channel water into the barrel. Have thought of sticking a condom over the end, but not sure how coming back from Scotland with half a dozen used johnnies will go down with the other half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I've a hardy on a 30/06 and use a Jonny but wait for the look as you ask for 10 pack of extra large black condoms at the pharmacy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quentyn Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 for me it depends, there is a club i shoot at that demands muzzle down. Its their rules and I will abide by them if I am out in the field then its always muzzle up - less of me is above the muzzle when its up and its easier to drop off the shoulder and onto target. Muzzle down always seems to need some gun swinging a la the US marines when they sling their guns around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srspower Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I always carry my little .22lr t-bolt barrel down and I also do with my tikka .243. I would carry the Tikka muzzle up as it's quite long but if I have the bipod on it barrel up is very uncomfortable and unbalanced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
