Allen knit gun sock evaluation........... - Allen Knit Gun Sock

The two gun socks I purchased I used to protect a Marlin 30-30 lever action rifle and a Garand training rifle. The knit material is strong but a little difficult to apply. The Marlin took almost fifteen minutes to slide the sock on. It's a very tight fit. The Garand took almost as long but after the first rifle was covered the second one went a little easier. It would help if an explanation came with the socks as to why the fit has to be so snug. In retrospect,I may have made the job a lot easier by inserting the barrel end of the rifle in the sock first instead of the rifle butt.
