LuvDog Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I’d be interested in this too. As a cheap solution until you can find a good bulk source... heavy duty zip ties can be used Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Ask Ralph Arredondo about using random pieces of plastic in hot barrels for chamber flags...not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ming the Merciless Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 If you buy them 100 at a time they are 50 cents each. Available in centerfire and rimfire sizes and with your custom printed logo for slightly more. https://www.mfgservs.com/chamber-flag?gclid=EAIaIQobChMImKn458-G2wIVk7fsCh0GfAIgEAAYASAAEgL86PD_BwE The CMP also has a package of 12 for a little over $5. https://estore.thecmp.org/Catalog/Item/244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chamber flag melt in my chamber between stages a few months back. After that, nothing goes into my chamber except bullets.

emjbe Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 18 hours ago, Sarge said: PCC? it was a BCM 5.56 chamber. It was during a black rifle match here in AZ. Stage 3 had a 100 second par time to shoot 2 8" targets at about 275 yards and 2 plates at about 75 yards as many times as you could hit within the time. I blew through about 50 rounds then flagged the rifle with a plastic chamber flag. got to stage 4 and started make ready and the flag came right out of the rifle but the extended plastic part stayed in the chamber. It had to be hammered out with a rod then scraped out with a chamber brush. The chamber flag was one of the clear plastic ones. Lesson learned.

mscott Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I typically cut those long ones down to a little over an inch to where there is just enoung in the chamber to prove it empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
