ABSTRACT:
An inverted generally channel-shaped member is provided for downward embracing engagement over the stock of a flint lock mechanism equipped muzzle loading rifle having its flint lock mechanism supported from one side of the rifle stock. The channel member includes opposite side depending first and second flanges interconnected by an upper bight portion extending and secured between the upper marginal edges of the side flanges and the bight portion includes an opening in vertical registry with the flint lock mechanism. The bight portion includes an opening formed therein in vertical registry with the flint lock mechanism and a top wall portion is supported from the channel member for swinging movement into and out of closing relation with the opening. When the top wall portion is in the closed position, the flint lock mechanism is at least substantially fully enclosed within the channel member and thus protected from the elements and when the top wall portion is in the open position free access to the flint lock mechanism is provided from above. The opening and top wall portion are spaced to the same side of the longitudinal center line of the rifle on which the flint lock mechanism is disposed.
