Hi Joe,
I will be traveling with the M2 on the ring mount. It will be covered. I
never traveled with the gun on the mount until I got the cover for it. I
don't think you are going to find a "cheap" cover, but I have seen them
on e-bay. In fact, this is where I finally got mine for. They often run
around $75-$100. I waited to buy one for less than half that price. I
just got lucky.
Almost everyone likes to see the trucks with the guns at the shows. I
have never heard a negative comment, and almost always have kids line up
to stand in the ring mount and "play" with the gun. The last show I was
at, I had an older couple (in their 70's, at least) ask if it would be
ok if they took photos of him with the gun. They couldn't stop thanking
me after they took the photos.
