TbirdX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 No, the overall length of the black plastic bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TbirdX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 That's what I'm hoping...something around 68mm would be handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TbirdX Posted July 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 To use as a safety flag would you believe It's for a bottom loading and ejecting pump action, therefore it won't get chambered, so it needs to be longer than the hole in the receiver so I can get it partly into the mag, so the spring tension of the mag will hold it in place. I have a 20g version but that is too short to do the job. If the 12g is long enough I'll get one otherwise it'll be a custom ali one turned up on a lathe.

Will Poon Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 I know what your getting at , I use them in my browning Maxus semi auto and in my Remington 870 wingmaster pump action , once the flag is sat in the barrel and the chamber is closed the top part is always exposed where the flag wraps around the plastic so you can see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel100 Posted July 21, 2013 Report Share Posted July 21, 2013 TBirdX - I've just measured the 12g one that I have (it's metal, not plastic) and is only 59mm - a tad too short for what you want, I believe. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, cheers guys, probably the same length as the 20g flag I've got. No matter, custom made one it is Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
