Who needs a dust cover? I'll tell you who needs a dust cover.

[toppermost]

Some say you need it, some say you don't. Some say you need it if you in live in a desert (this happens to be correct - I live in Phoenix. I would never dream of not having a dust cover here).

However, the people that say no one else needs a dustcover are straight up wrong...

Because if you have a CAT you need a MOTHER $#%& DUST COVER.
Also between each use:

You'll need to put a condom over the barrel;
keep an emtpy magazine in the weapon when not in use;
dip the entire weaspon system in cosmoline;
place it in a watertight plastic bag;
wrap it all in clean, white linen strips;
wave a wand with a unicorn hair inside of it over while chanting;
and, of course, put it in a rifle case...

Then, if your cat lives in another house, down the road, 12 miles away, you will have a 50/50 chance of not having cat hair inside of the bolt, barrel, and trigger housing of your weapon.

I have two cats. They are filthy, disgusting little creatures (but they are my filthy, disgusting littel creatures, so I tolerate 'em). It is not possible to avoid getting cat hair onto everything you own at least once. If you have a cat you will be shooting cat hair out of your weapon at some point. Get a dust cover.

^^^ Agree, I would rather have it anyways just because that is another thing that you can accessorize.

ROFL! You guys with your ARs are worse than my wife with the purses. Accessorize?!

J/K... sorta

not me, man.

K.I.S.S.

[sigcurious]

lol, I actually had the same thought but in relation to my dog(who sheds constantly) and cleaning my pistols.

Fortunately the AR I'm putting together has a dust cover and I too live in the desert. Although I still can't see it being necessary, but I'll probably change my mind the first time I'm out with it and strong winds chase me out of the desert lol

[globemaster3]

Mancard! Hand it over!

The dust cover is that thingy that never opens in the movie...even after a hundred rounds.

The spent casings reload themselves so the user can continue to fire those hundred rounds continuously without reloading the 30 round magazine. Dir.

I have a dust cover. Darn thing pops open on the first shot and won't close itself.

All my other guns don't have dust covers, they've never had a problem. All the other new designs don't have dust covers, they leave the bolt exposed 24/7.

I've never found a cat hair I can't shoot out. Got three, I don't let them sleep with my guns. They prefer people. Much warmer.

My Colt runs just fine with cathair contamination. If it's causing malfunctions, I would suggest a better AR.

Design flaw. I am working on the Tactical Operational Extreme Self-Actuating Dust Cover. I'm having a little trouble finding rubber bands just the right size, though. Anyhow I think I'll be able to keep the price under an hunnerd bucks and of course it'll be available in Night-Ops Black, OD Green and Wiley Coyote Tan. (If Wal-Mart don't run outta Krylon.) Taking orders next Thursday and Friday, expect to be able to fill them in 2 1/2 to 3 years at the latest.

[SecurityGeek]

With so many people allergic to cats, I see cat hair as a major boost to weapon potential. It's kinda my own BATF-approved CBW program.

[BIG P]

Love the smell of burnt cat hair in the morning.Man I'm glad I dont have one.
LOL.Anymore!!!

[madcratebuilder]

I have reduced my cat fur contamination by having a designated cat rifle (DCR). Of course the cat wanted it to be color coordinated.

[hulley]

Madcratebuilder, is that a M.I. rail? Free float?

[rickyrick]

That cat looks tough, has he had tactical training?

[PawPaw]

Anyone who says they don't like cats has never tried them in tamales.

[Marquezj16]

I keep a couple of dogs around to keep the cat hair away from mine. Works pretty good too. Now how to keep the dogs' hair out.

[chewie146]

Well, you could always get a vacuum sealer, I suppose. Those bags would keep most of the cat hair out. Not sure how you'd keep the cat hair off the bag, though.

[rickyrick]

You can't vacuum seal a cat, it'll never hold still.


Oh yeah guns are cool especially semi auto rifles, to stay on topic.

I must have some mutant, retard cats from Patagonia or something because their hair get into places I havent even been to yet. I try everything I can think of.

Oh well.

I forgot who mentioned it, but someone said something about getting a dog. I can't. The little cat has already attacked Chihuahuas, German Shepherds, and Weimaraners. She is too tough.

[Fishing_Cabin]

perhaps a new accessory for an AR should be a furminator? Perhaps attach one to the bottom rail on the handgard...

I have a cat, and did have a german shepherd, but I never really have had an issue with fur on, or in my firearms.

[armoredman]

I have 5 cats, and I am always removing cat hair from many things. I got used to it. Annabelle has her own may of making herself understood on the whole hair issue.



PS, it doesn't seem either of the SA vz-58s have any difficulty running with cat hair floating around.

[dgludwig]

I guess I have to ask: What's the down-side to a dust cover?
