Description
Anyone who spends time on the clays course knows the little annoyances add up. Setting your muzzle in the dirt while you wait your turn, dust and rain finding their way down the bore, or just wanting a clean way to cap the barrel while the gun rides in the truck. The Bob Allen Magnetic Barrel Protector handles all of that with a simple piece of leather and a strong magnet, no fumbling required.
It attaches straight to the muzzle with an industrial-strength magnet, so there are no caps to twist or straps to cinch. The magnet is built to hold on through normal handling and movement, yet it stays gentle enough that it won't mar your barrel finish. The two-piece leather body wraps the muzzle and seals out moisture and grit, which is what keeps rust, corrosion, and bore obstructions from becoming a problem down the road.
What the Bob Allen Barrel Protector Does on the Line
Here's the part a lot of folks appreciate most. Beyond covering the muzzle, it doubles as a resting pad for break-action guns while you wait between stations. With the gun unloaded, you set it barrel-down on the pad and take the weight off your arms for a few minutes instead of balancing it on your toe or dropping it in the grass. It even holds on with the action broken open, and moves right along with you from station to station on the end of the barrel.
Leather Build That Earns Its Keep
The leather construction gives the cover some real backbone. It shrugs off scuffs and knocks, and the supple hide conforms to the barrel shape for a snug seal. A sewn edge runs the perimeter to keep the material from fraying or separating, so it holds up to being tossed in and out of a range bag season after season.
One thing worth noting from real-world use: this is sized around shotgun muzzles and choke tubes, so it's a natural fit for over/unders and other break-action scatterguns. If you shoot clays, hunt birds, or just want a no-fuss muzzle cap for storage, it earns a spot in the bag.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Bob Allen Magnetic Barrel Protector stay on the muzzle?
It uses an industrial-strength magnet that grips the muzzle with no caps, straps, or tools needed. The magnet is strong enough to hold through normal handling and movement, but not so aggressive that it damages the barrel finish. You just set it on and pull it off when you're ready to shoot.
Will this work on my shotgun with an extended choke tube?
The protector is designed to attach magnetically at the muzzle, so it relies on the barrel or choke being magnetic enough to grab. Steel barrels and steel choke tubes hold best. If you run non-magnetic or certain coated extended chokes, the hold can vary, so it's worth checking that a magnet sticks to your muzzle before counting on it.
Can the barrel protector be used as a gun rest between stations?
Yes, that's one of its handy tricks. With the gun unloaded, you set the muzzle down on the pad on the ground and rest the weight off your arms while you wait your turn. It holds on even with the action broken open, and it travels with you from station to station on the end of the barrel.
Is the Bob Allen Magnetic Barrel Protector meant for long-term storage?
It's best thought of as short-term muzzle protection during transport, storage, and time on the range. The leather seals out moisture and debris to help prevent rust and bore obstructions. Always remove it before loading and shooting.
