Abstract
A new protective covering apparatus (6) for guns with high capacity extended magazines providing protection for the receiver (18), magazine (22) and trigger guard (28) while the gun is being carried in the field or stored. The covering apparatus (6) is comprised of a single unit of flexible water repellent material having sufficient size to envelope the entire receiver area of a gun (FIG. 4), to include the magazine (22), receiver (18) and trigger guard (28). Attached to the front end of flaps (12) and (14) of protective covering (6) are releasable fasteners (8A) and (8B) providing means for attaching and sealing the front end of flaps (12) and (14) about the hand guard (20). Attached to the rear of outer flap (12) are releasable fasteners (10A) and (10B) for retaining and sealing the rear edges (12C) and (14C) of flaps (12) and (14) about the gun's butt stock ( 26) and pistol grip (24). Attached beneath flaps (12) and (14) is pouch (16) providing protection for the gun's extended magazine (22). In attaching protective covering (6) to the gun, pouch (16) is slid up over magazine (22), then inner flap (14) is wrapped over the top of receiver (18) followed by the wrapping of outer flap (12) in the reverse direction, back over the receiver (18). Releasable fasteners (8A) and (8B) are connected together around hand guard (20) in the front, while releasable fasteners (10A) and (10B) are connected in the rear by passing the strap portion of (10A) between the butt stock (26) and the piston grip (24).
