is there a protective covering over the magnet so that I can safely place it on the outside of my truck to hold rifles at the range?

there is a thin clear coating over the magnet. But I would be cautious if my truck was dirty. I have had to reglue the magnet once on each unit but once I did that I have had no problems.

It has a plastic coating over the magnet which will also pickup naturally occurring iron particles. Keep a clean cloth handy.

Yes, you can put the magnetic cover over it...that's exactly what I did. I was very pleased with it.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

I have D&H; aluminum mags with ranger floor plates, no dust covers, there are several areas that they will not fit, due to the inside structure supports and the handle recess built under the lid.

A cover for storage? It comes with a metal cover to stop embers from flying around

Have another look at the sled. there is a bar that runs from the front rifle rest to the rear rifle rest that is above the tray that holds the weights. This bar will interfere with long mags but the weight tray is below the bar and offers not impediment to the rifle..

It's velcro and a plastic clip, definitely not hardware that you would leave/mount outside your location. It's loud with the magnet pops off with the leash attached to something. I bought this for international camping travel protection. Good luck!

Yes, it has a flip-over velcro top cover that can be removed entirely if you want it out of the way for range day.

If you are running a magnifier behind your optic, there may not be room to open and close the cover. Just leave it shut in that instance.

The magnet is helpful. It keeps the case/cover from flapping around and opening.

The cover uses a Powerful "Rare Earth" magnet! I haven't had any problems with keeping it closed!

I'd say your best bet is a roll bar mount. It's adjustable and can fit around the gun not a problem.

I primarily use mine as a protective holster to keep my pistol in the center console of my truck. Found a new use for it while bear hunting recently while walking to and from the stand in the dark with my rifle unloaded.

no most ar-15 have a muzzle break and there is not enough rim on the break to hold the magnet in place

Yes, it is shielded and, by the way, a very good shield. I used it in some tight places and the magnet will not pick up sideways. I recommend it.

I don't have mine near me at the moment, but you can set it up to slide to the left side of the rifle. I would protect it and fire a mag and see if it clears it, if that's the side you want it on. It's not going to like getting hit by spent rounds.

This would not work well in a vehicle. The magnet is not strong enough to secure a firearm.
