- Empty Chamber Flag/Chamber Indicator is a small piece of brightly colored plastic that is included with all new firearms. It is designed to fit into the chamber of a firearm and stick out the ejection port to help confirm the firearm is in fact unloaded during “cease-fire”. If you don’t have one, don’t worry. We have plenty and with a little bit of care they last forever.
- At “CEASE-FIRE”, place firearms on bench with the action open, muzzle down range, and magazine removed, empty chamber flag/chamber indicator in the chamber.
