Are chamber flags required at ranges?


For ssaa ranges, yes.

Errr those sound like some crazy private club rules.

At a SSAA range, you need a chamber flag, during cease fire, in all rifles; and magazine out or floor plate dropped. If it's something like your marlin, lever open and flag in. You do not need to remove bolts and you do not need to do anything crazy. The end. There is no 'depends'.


N.b.
That's for commoners like me.
Competition rules may be very different, but I don't know about those.

And I assume I can buy these flags at the range?
My brother has shot at SSAA Majura and hasn't seen any chamber flags before.

Yes, they sell them there... 50c a pop, at least at Little River and Springvale. The catch is that all your rifles need to have them. So if I have 4 bags with rifles and 1 on the bench, bags need to be open so RO can see the flags and bolts open or lever out; and 1 in the rifle on the bench.

You could easily make your own, bit I just purchased them there.

I hope they sell bulk packs!

Second row from left. Second from the top. Is that a bullpup chassis for Mosin?

Nope, still working on that one.
This is the RAR bullpup chassis with the .204 Predator in it. It fits all the RAR short-actions though.

I'll try to pull my finger out and get the Mosin sorted, then show how I did it :-)

If you look at the new .223 Ruger you'll see I've put a muzzle brake on it, just to show my brother why we don't like muzzle brakes :-)
I prefer simple birdcage flash hiders so I can rest the muzzle on the ground without worrying about it getting plugged.

When I shot Bretts Flinchmaster the brake filled my eyes and mouth with dirt. I thought it was meant to fills others peoples faces with stuff not the shooter. :D


Sorry mate but that was funny as f*&k :lol:
