GOOD INSURANCE FOR YOUR AR/M16 08/05/2010
I RECEIVED ONE AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT A FEW MONTHS AGO. MY RANGE NOW REQUIRES A SAFETY FLAG AND IF YOUR RANGE DOES TOO,THIS IS THE ONE TO GET.WHEN USED,THE BOLT CANNOT BE ENGAGED AND THE COVER KEEPS THE DIRT OUT SO YOUR UPPER RECEIVER DOESN'T GET LAPPED BY THE CARRIER. HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR YOUR AR? IT ALSO WORKS IN ALL MY OTHER RIFLES AS A SAFETY FLAG.
Design Flaw, Follow-Up to My 1st Comment 18/01/2010
The concept of the Safety Flag is irrefutable. It accomplishes what it is designed to do and is accepted at most all firing ranges as a way to display that the weapon is unloaded to the range safety officers. No complaints here.
It does have a flaw that will jam your AR-15. On the website and the picture of the flag in the rifle, you cannot see the area of the flaw. If you have one, you can follow this.
1. Hold the "flag" portion in your right hand. 2. Place your right index finger on the side of the "rod" that goes into the barrel. 3. Lower/slide your index finger downward where it touches the top of the portion that goes into the ejection port of the AR. 4. It will be touching a small tab, a little "blade" of plastic that curves inward toward the plastic rod.
This piece of plastic will ... WILL break off in the bolt carrier assembly, in the opening (hole) located under where the gas tube inserts. This little tiny piece of plastic will "jam", "lock up", 'FREEZE' your bolt assembly tighter than if you had soaked the entire assembly in Loc-Tite for a week and let it dry.
This piece breaks off after you have inserted the flag into the chamber and then let the bolt go forward. The pressure of the bolt against the flag, along with any bumps, bangs, to even just sitting the rifle down on it's butt can cause it to break. This is the second incident of this happening.
After removing the broken piece of plastic from the bolt, the flag still fit in place and did it's job. So, I'd venture a guess that this little piece of plastic is more of a sprue or spur than a working part that if missing ... isn't a big deal.
