1.5mm cord

The biggest problem is getting access to the cord from the breach!

Air pistols and 50m pistols with compensators fitted.

Tried that, gets caught in the compensator up front.
I also struggle with the Hammerli FP60, but its easier to get through with some tools.

Can someone who actually shoots a Morini CM162 EI tell me what will pass as a safety flag under the ISSF pathetic new rules???

As i cant seem to get anything to work for a safety flag... And if anyone suggests using a bore snake again i think i will scream!!!

Cheers

Hi Spencer,

The first Aus Cup is a mere 4 weeks away, can you advise what you have set out for the safety flag rule please?

As I dont want to find out on the day or day before and not have time to meet the new (rather silly) rules the ISSF have set forward!

Cheers

Spencer, What have you decided on for Australia for the safety flag issue? As the new year is around the corner, and most shooters i have spoken too have laughed at the idea and think its just going to ge too much effort for something we havent really had a problem with!!! As our NRC director, can ...

Disqualifying people after the event isn't going to put someone's eye back in. Possibly loaded guns, including firearms, plus the sloppy handling you usually see at EQ needs some fixing. I don't see the value on the range though, if you can see down the breech there's no real need, maybe just airgu...

Out of interest, what have people got against flags. To my mind they are a cheap and extremely quick way of checking a line of guns at the end of a match. David L A cheaper way is to actually check the guns without having to more than we already do... As 99.7% of ranges shoot on paper targets in Au...

I wonder about a cleaning rod with a fluro green or orange mop ? how about a bore snake (cleans the barrel when removed) Problem with a bore snake Spencer, how do you fit into the firearm during the match without pulling apart the firearm? Cheers Brad one takes it that you do not use bore snakes He...

As a RO if I am clearing airpistols that I cannot easily see into the breech, I get the shooter to close and discharge gas downrange, then bag. Pistol confirmed clear. 100% agree David M, thats what the wife and I do EVERYTIME we shoot at the range, before packing up. Even when just by ourselves, w...

And as a RO, if you are checking the trigger weight, wouldn't it be safer that the guns arrive at your desk with the flag inserted? That way there is noting in the barrel no matter how stupid/lazy/distracted/bi-polar the shooter is... :) Yes it would be safer to have the pistol arrive unloaded, but...

How many times have you found a loaded gun ? Over the years, several. How many of the pellets hitting the ceiling at EC are leftovers from the previous shoot: it's impossible to know. If all airguns have a "through barrel" flag inserted before they can be cased then it can't do any harm (...

If thats ok for Australia, it sounds like a good idea David.
the only problem I see is finding a rod and mop to suit the Morini CM162

And safety shouldn't be down to such 'devices' to police, it should be instructed to the shooters as a matter of course. Rob. How is this for a simple solution, if your firearms discharges during EC you are disqualified instantly from the event. That will make sure people properly clear air pistols...

....what is wrong with the old system of the RO walking along and physically inspecting each firearm on the line. If you were looking at a Morini CM162EI, for example, it is impossible to tell whether there is a pellet seated in the chamber without either looking down the barrel from the front sigh...

I know the rules aren't great but I don't understand your problem. Surely anything that can go from the breach to the muzzle is fine - so for example a length of garden strimmer line with a knot in one end. Rob. Hi Robb, My problem, as Spencer has mentioned. Is placing a flag through the the full l...

sorry, but that doesnt help out.
do you have a photo as an example?
