20080222937 | Flintlock muzzleloader cover - A flintlock muzzleloader cover is formed from a generally rectangular piece of material preferably water resistant leather. The material has a first half and a second half and folds on a central fold. The material has a first pleat portion on one side of the central fold and a second pleat portion on an opposite side of the fold. A first tie portion extends from the first half and a second tie portion extends from the second half to allow the cover to be tied onto a flintlock muzzleloader. A securing device preferably in the form of antiqued brass rivets are used for securing the pleat portions to the first half and second half in a folded condition. The pleats are angled to form a pocket to receive the firing mechanism and to direct water through channels created by the folds downwardly away from the central fold and the firing mechanism. The central fold rests on top of a firing mechanism when the cover is in use. | 09-18-2008 |
