I only have 5.56/.223 and everyone I can find is BLUE

I'm color blind and I THINK that in a low light situation, Yellow would be easier for me to see

I guess I could buy 300 Blackout and turn them inside out.....

I've searched the world of rubber bands (not firearm related) and it is one of the most confusing products I've seen.

Thoughts on rubber bands about 1/2 to 3/4" wide and roughly 6" in diameter?  In a bright color like Yellow?

You only have one caliber. Seems like a waste.

Paint them

Easiest.

Local craft store possibly as well.

Yellow rubber bands

Double wrap them if they are too big

That's EXACTLY what the 1st link was for.

Rubber bands will dry rot or get gooey, fall off and leave the good behind.

The post with the yellow silicone band was closest to what you would want.

Personally I would buy some quality duct tape in white or yellow. Cut it about 1/2 wise and use that.

Might leave residue but it probably won't come off if you buy the good stuff.

For 300 BO I only use ETS mags so I can see the rounds.

I use different color followers and floor plates for different loads. Not sure if that would help your situation though.

Looks like they sell them.  You can get just plain yellow bands for less though.

Or you can get 1 printed with whatever you want, but they're $10, EACH!

Now you're talking....exactly what I'm looking for

It appears that the smallest size is 7".  I measure an AR mag at 6.5"

Thoughts?


Edit:  Correction

2.5" in diameter on the fist link
7" on the second

They might stretch enough to double back and wrap it.  It'll be too loose otherwise.  I think both ads are close to the same diameter of 2.5", the 7" was listing the circumference (the 7" also had an option for 8" adult size).
