Does anyone know where to get these at a decent price? Most places I've found that did have them are out of stock.

I just got the Polish flare handgun. I have two sub-cal inserts coming. Anything else that any of you recommend for these?

I got mine at Wideners, but that was years ago.

Very cool for night shoots, they would light up about a 1/4 mile area for a minute.

They were also like 3$ ea, but hazmat was 20$ so I bought 40 of em.

How much are they now?

Try Dan's ammo.

They don't have them listed. I emailed and asked if they plan to get anymore.

Probably added to the ban list by the ATF.

Didn't the 37 mm flare stuff get blacklisted?

You are about 10-15 years too late.
All the eastern block surplus flares have been sold, or are now too old to work reliably.

If you really want parachute illumination flares, forget the gun and get the handheld SOLAS flares.



$37.99 at West Marine

You can sometimes find someone selling out of date flares (Over 3 years) from commercial ships for $1-5 each.
