Thanks Rene and John!Dont know what it would do to a intruder but doubt they would hang around long,definatly scare the heck out of a bear or other predator that invades your campsite.Rene I know what you mean about getting into trouble,shooting it off at night might bring a lot of unwanted attention!

It is worth shooting a couple of flares. The size is the same as modern made flares. It is fun to do, just do not do it in a dry area. I shoot them on new years every year but there is snow over. They do not always go vertical. I am sure the neighbors shake their heads but it is pretty neat and I have not been driven out of the neighborhood as of yet.

If more flares are available, I would DEFINATELY give it a go (and as John says....only if it won't start a fire somewhere).
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Thanks Rene and John!Dont know what it would do to a person at close range but doubt it would be pretty,definatly scare the heck out of a bear or other predator that invades your campsite..I am not ordering the adapter as it would make it a handgun and am sure you would need a special license to have it and am not buying that.Rene I know what you mean about getting into trouble,shooting it off at night might bring a lot of unwanted attention!
Cheers Eric, Well I think I'm just lucky they don't make cartridges for this bugger any more

Thanks guys,need to be careful, dont want to start a fire.I found a site has these flares,box of 10 for 35.00,thats still pretty pricey!Rene that is a cool looking old flare gun,what caliber is it?
-
Not sure but the barrel diameter is 33mm
-
I am not aware of 33mm flares, this shoots 26.5mm,they would be a little small I imagine to work in your gun,would have some wiggle room but could work,they should load in it anyway!Maybe I will send you one!
