OBI's, Chamber Flags ... where to get????

P95Carry · June 21, 2003, 10:03 PM

I need to find some 'open bolt indicators' .. chamber flags ..... those 'thingies' you put between your bolt and breech to show gun is safe.

I have done a search and found many references to their use but not a source. I need some for a big event next weekend, where they are required, altho I guess I can make something if needed.

Any suggestions out there ... a link for an online purchase . I need to do it quick. Or - anyone got a good and acceptable home brewed suggestion??

I'd mainly need these for stuff like L1A1, Mini-14, AK etc .... tho maybe one or two for handguns also.

Don't give up. I'm looking for them, also.

I know I saw some recently on a web-site but I can't find it now.

OK Fly ... that's 2 of us!! Not too hopeful tho and yet ....... stacks of links came up in a search ..... but all to do with clubs etc stipulating their useage ... and saying often ''we have them at $1 a piece'' .......... but where to find!

Still, I guess as time is short .... I'll work on some dowel and trim one end to fit chamber and paint em orange! Should work i guess.!

Thx mrstang01 ........ thought I'd looked in catalog ..... trouble is time is short ...... and search on Brownells site seemed to not be available as ''and'' Boolean and so way too many hits on unrelated things.

I'll dig further but I think now .... just may have to make something!

You're looking in the wrong place!

(Yeah yeah, this is "accessories" but if you'd have gone to Competitions you'd have been set immediately.)

Make sure you have several, for whatever it is you're doing. I always have three or four in my cart and one in each rifle case, and a few more somewhere else for newbies.
