ABSTRACT:
A protective cover for firearm percussion caps is provided which is removably mounted to the existing firearm nipple and secured to another portion of the firearm by an elastomeric loop. The cover has a hollow, generally cylindrical configuration formed from resilient and weatherproof material, such as rubber, and can flex off of its longitudinal axis to facilitate installation onto the nipple in close confines. A radially extending handle formed from a more rigid material is mechanically mounted to the cover between two O-rings formed from material more easily bonded to the cover. The interior of the cover is sufficiently resilient and sized so as to sealingly receive most commonly used firearm nipples via an interference fit to prevent moisture penetration to the percussion cap.
