Tim - That sounds like a good idea. Are you going to make a rubberized beanie yourself? Another idea to consider is simply putting a rubber band around the bottom of it and then folding it up to hide the rubber band.
Cefus - Thanks, I'll look into it.
Marz - Nah, it's an M1 Garand. It's one of my school's drill rifles. I'd love to have a Mosin Nagant but I'm still 17 and living at home, and my mom is afraid of guns
fcb2001 - Thanks
