Muzzle caps for Kar 98k, MP40 and MG.

Gents,

I've bought a buch of rubber caps for Kar 98k, MP40 and MG. They are in 2 versions, with and without reinforcement bands for both Kar and MP. MG only in 1 version. They are also in several colours for Kar 98: grey/green, light grey, whitish and 1 black. Just posting some pics to illustrate.

Carles, those are great. I have a bunch of the rifle ones in several variations.

Thanks, I already had some, 10 or 15 counting all MP, Kar and MG. Now, this lot is about 400 caps altogether. I'll post some pics of rubber caps in use. Please, post any pic you may have also, as they are difficult to see in period photos. Oh! posting MG34s mostly, as it's my main area

Most pics from Ebay, just for study reason.

Some more MG34s...BTW did MG42 use the same caps?

Ok, I've found a couple of non MG34 pics, so you can see I am not so ignorant There should be many more out there. There were more Kars and MPs than MGs... The cap on the FJ's MP40 is the first variation, just as those right in my pic #4.

PS. If anyone interested, I've put some of the caps up for sale at E-stand.

Gents, just a question to confirm...MP40 And MP44 used the same muzzle caps, right?

Here,

Another nice pic of MG34 muzzle cap in use (from the internet). How is it I spot more MG34 pics than any other weapon? Curiously, of the lot of 400 caps I bought only 4 were for MG while the rest were 50% for Kar 98k and 50% for MP40/StG44 but I hardly see any pics of those in use...

I wanted to let the forum know that I purchased 10 of these muzzle caps for K98's from Carles. He is a friendly, professional seller including international sales. The caps, warmed up a little in water, fit perfectly. If you need or want a cap, I highly recommend Carles to buy them from.
