Hello, Not sure which board to put these on..but here they are. I need help Id'ing this lot of muzzle caps. I know #11 is for the Swiss 1911 and earlier rifles, and I think #8 is for GEW 98 rifles, and is numbered. Found out that #5 is for Finn mosin nagant. THANKS in advance for all the input! #1 and #3 are rubber, rest are metal or brass.

MUZZLE CAPS:

 

[zippyhuntin]

No. 4 is a front sight hood.
No. 6 looks like a bore guide.... maybe for a Mosin-Nagant?

#6

Well, #6 looks like a guide, but if you turn it over, the back side is countersunk about 50%, with a solid plate all the way across. The hole does not go all the way through....

What it be...

#2 is a Mosin Muzzle Cap

#4 is a G 98k sight hood for later 98 k rifles

#5 is a Finnish Mosin Nagant Mod 39 M Cap

#6 is a M/N cleaning guide, if it has a plate it is messed with

#7 is Argentine Modelo 1891 Carbine M/Cap

#8 is a generic 98 long rifle M/Cap

#9 looks like a Norwegian Mod 1912 Muzzle Cap

#10 is for the Argentine Modelo 1891 Rifle

#11 is a Swiss Mod 1911 or maybe a Mod 1896 M/Cap...

My best guess......

No 2 looks like the ones that came with 48 yugo mauser cleaning kit. It looks like a cleaning accessory more than a protective cap to be left on.

 

[vintovka]

Have a No.7 Cap that came on my 1909 argie mauser carbine.

positive ID's

Looks like so far, we have positive Id's on #2,4,5,7,8, and 11.

Thanks for all the help so far!

#10 could also be Spanish Model 1893

Based on the newly submitted closeup I withdraw my ID as Greek 03/14 -at least the detail of the hook portion does not match my 03/14 m.c.
I dion't think it is for a Norwegian M12; there's nothing like it in Hanevik.
Perhaps Serbian/Yugoslav?

 

[storkman]

Closeup of #8 shows a Imperial German proof, therefore for GEW. 98.

 

[John Wall]

Agree that No. 2 is the false muzzle/crown protector for the Yugoslav M48, Iraqi and Syrian versions too.

No. 7 is also the standard FN muzzle cap on all there contract Mausers deliver 1930-1966.

You were right the first time. It's for the Greek Mannlicher-Schoenauer rifle (and the carbine with the front sight that does not have the four-eared protector).
