[ARCHIVED THREAD] - First 3 gun match... Barrel flags?

Posted: 10/21/2013 5:53:04 PM EDT

Heading to my first 3 gun match this coming weekend, the 26th.

I shot USPSA at this location before, so I know most of their rules. However, they require barrel flags for long arms. I've never been around a three gun match or anything like this before - only IDPA / USPSA pistol shooting. What are barrel flags and where can I get them?

Thanks!

Go cheap...weed trimmer line long enough to have a piece extending out the chamber and muzzle.

Search Chamber Flag on MidwayUSA.com for the purpose made pieces.

You can also use bright colored zip ties just don't let the bolt slam forward on them or it might cut them in half. Our group also allows you to lock the bolt back but they prefer chamber flags. Have fun!!

CMP has them, sometimes the match has them for sale, but don't count on it. Most LGS should have something. Amazon prime has some also.

Good luck and practice your shotgun reloads. Also if its a timed event, make sure that you budget your time and don't goto war on any one part of the stage.
