    Chamber flags and chamber temps.

    I've been in talks with a company that makes chamber flags. My concern is that after a 20 round string the chamber MAY be hot enough to melt said plastic. Has anyone checked chamber temp after a string? What are the competition shooters using? Thanks.

    Anything new on ITAR?

    I was wondering if anyone had heard of anything being done about the ITAR definitions? I may be able to afford the BATFE application for purposes of gunsmithing, but there is no way i could afford ITAR registration.
