If you're like me, you sometimes leave a little CLP or some other protectant in the barrel. Or some other issue, such as removing the bolt from the rifle, will make for bad trip to the range or a ruined hunting trip. I'm good at forgetting to do things like run a clean patch down the barrel before heading out. So to overcome that, if there's any condition that leaves the rifle unready to shoot well, I loop this flag inside the thumbhole or trigger guard...anywhere it can't fall off or and can't be overlooked:

That's a good idea, Jon!  As a bonus, it also works pretty well for aircraft maintenance!Wink

Good idea.  Now I know where my tag went off my chopper.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.

Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow
Now the rules have changed again.

Uh, oh. Was it wrong of me to also borrow those bolts from around the tail rotor transmission shaft?
