When was the front sight cover used? Did it come on the rifle when it was issued or was it something put on in the field?

It was usually used for storage and transportation and was not usually used "in the field" when in action. The Marines had a "taller" variation that was often left on the rifle."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."
--C.S. Lewis
