I make sure I have my own, rather than use the sometimes available wire ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I don't use them, nor have had a match that required them. Just bag the rifle in my pack when I'm done. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotm4 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I use these in http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=1609/Product/SAF_T_ROUND .223 Rem and 12ga. These are pretty cool as they pop out when you pull back on the charging handle since the bolt hangs on to them with the extractor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy the soft plastic ones as those that are rigid are not going to last an entire match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chendersby Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 USPSA requires chamber flags or bagged when moving between stages. Now for a plug. Ralph Arredondo is making a set of flags for 3gun. The shotgun flag even comes out with the bolt being pulled back. Cost $11. http://www.arredondoaccessories.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwoods Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have only shot at a local monthly match and my two big matches were... Johnson 3-Gun Rocky Mtn 3-Gun No chamber flags were required. I will have to buy some if I ever go to another big match...just in case... Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 At most matches it is "flagged" or "bagged". I actually dislike most chamber flag designs - I don't feel comfortable stuffing anything in the chamber that might not come out 100%. Also, the bag keeps dust and crud off the gun. If I absolutely have to flag my rifle, I have one of these, which does not enter the chamber at all: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what is that device clamped around your mag well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a standard Boonie Packer product - the photo is right off their website, and the device clamped to the magwell is their RediMag spare magazine holder. Arredondo offers a similar magwell safety device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvc40jim Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Another member showed me a cool trick with the plastic/rubber tubing intended for wiring in cars, shrink wrap I guess. Works really good stuck in the ejection port and out the magwell or feedgate and it's stupid cheap for a pretty good amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbrowndog Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 The Arredondo chamber plug is really good and he supports the sport, heck he gave 100 or so to us for the HPSC to give to the shooters in the shooters match bag. I have a couple left over, if anybody wants one or two, let me know I'll try and have them available at the matches I go to next. trapr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Kind of like a sling for a match. Sometimes you need it, sometimes you don't. I keep a set just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get it from him upon his return to OK. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightdriver Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Do all/most of the multi gun matches require the use of chamber flags? I am shooting my first match this month at the Arkansas multi gun match and I want to be ready to go when i get there. One time I needed some chamber flags and didn't have the time to wait for and order to ship. I was at the hardware store and seen some weed eater line that was bright orange and a small enough diameter to fit in the bore of the rifle. A 40 foot package wasn't more than a few dollars and all I had to do was cut some lengths about 14" and heat them to make a zigzag shape on one end to keep them from just falling out of the shotgun with the action open, the rifle one stayed in just fine.

esskay Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 This one designed by Ned Christiansen looks interesting -- in particular it also functions as a dust cover. http://www.m-guns.com/tools.php# $15 at Brownells http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=21481/P...5_M16_SAFE_PORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
