When do you guys use these?

Seems like an unnecessary addition. We simply keep actions open to show clear at my club.

I don't use them either, have always just left the action open at any club I've been to.

Some ranges require flags the will hold the action open and can be verified at a glance by an RO or other shooters from a distance away. In my experience they are required on military ranges. Not sure if some civilian ranges require them too.

Figured it might be a club requirement. Interesting that military ranges require them.

Same experience here as well.

DCRA and other PRA's who use military ranges require the use of chamber flags.

 

[Rule 303]

Use of breech flags was always mandatory for DCRA/ORA shoots at Mons east and Winona.

This.

You can try contacting your PRA or the DCRA. They usually sell the chamber flags.

I would suggest making your own. When I did the Appleseed course in the US, the best chamber flags were a zip tie around a piece of rolled up cloth, or surveyors tape. The end of the zip tie goes in the chamber and the cloth sticks out.

bcra matches that are on military ranges require flags. Brownells has the fancy tapco ones everyone has been looking for. I just use the one that came with my m&p15.

They are required at our clubs IPSC rifle Matches.

AND at the indoor range I am a member at as well because I use the CMMG 22 conversion kit for indoor practice which is closed bolt operation.

I can't find a reference to their use in the standing orders for any range we have licensed for our use and I know there is nothing in training safety.
Can you send me towards a reference?

Weedeater Line works too.

I'm not sure about service rifle, tom is my first match and I always bring one no matter where I go. but it's in the 2012 dcra fullbore rulebook re; chamber flags

 

[Gunnerlove]

So it is not a BCRA or DCRA rule it is a TR rule.

Kind of like allowing funny hats and convertible sighters.
