What is the mirror that fits over bottle gauges?

[AlwaysLastPlace]

The English don't believe in firearms. I can only conclude this is why don't know anything about safe handling. They are so worried about the sun actually coming out for once, warming their bottles and going over 12 lbs they forgot that you shouldn't put gauges in front of the barrel.

Anyway I'm trying to find that company that makes the cylinders gauge cap that has a mirror on it.

Can someone help me find that brand or product?

I'm trying to teach my kid the sport on my older pellet guns first. The lack of safety in the design of these older items is rediculous.

There is so much more we'd NEVER put up with on a real gun here in USA but it's totally fine on pellet guns that can do similar damage. Go feel how wiggly a Delta Wolf trigger is. Not safe at all.

It used to be very popular to teach squeezing vs pulling the trigger as "you should be surprised when the gun goes off". Yeah, no. I've never let that happen in my life. 2 or 3 times on air rifles though, through unacceptable levels of inconsistency.
You know how many times I have put my hand in front of a muzzle to thread on a surpressor on a real gun? Zero. How many center fire guns do I have that aren't at least designed to be drop safe? Zero. (Except shotguns, I suppose it is true those are not considered drop safe, either, but you'd hardly call that center fire like rifle or pistol.)

If you are aware of any other items that fix poor European safety designs I would love to know.

I had not seen those, but they sound like a smart thing to make (for guns that need them).

If you can't find one commercially it would be pretty straightforward to make one through 3d printing. Suspect you'll need a bit of customization for the different gun designs.

I call 'em 'suicide gauges' and one day there will be an accident that will effectively remove them from the market.

Virtually all of us started with burning powder right? We've seen others screw up a little or a lot and heard of massive horror stories of people forgetting the first two rules, consider every gun always loaded, don't point it at something you don't wish to kill or destroy. We've all seen a rabbit or other small game turned inside out by a Hornady hollow point screaming at over 3k feet per second. So we know what guns do.

But our kids need to consider the business end of a gun sacrosanct, just like the rest of us who are alive and have no extra holes in us.

It's hard to inspire that while I stick my face in front of it to check air, or spin a surpressor on with aluminum threads with my palm covering the exit or wiggly and underweight triggers.

If we really want to teach children markanship STARTING with air rifles. Some design changes need to be made at the entry level.

I never liked the design, flagging yourself.

springers are perfect for the task

I guess those gauges don't especially bother me, but I've found myself looking quite idiotic trying to read them. Holding the gun at arms length, no mag, action open, trying to read it at an angle, twisting the gun to see it from a different angle, contorting my neck in all manner of unnatural ways, all to avoid pointing it at my own head. I've probably never really read one accurately, but had no unfortunate accidents either. Maybe I should invest in some sort of mirror to avoid looking like a cartoon character.

I bought this on Amazon for about $14. I also do not like looking down the barrel while putting air in the foster with the compressor.

Empty Bore indicator or Empty Chamber Indicator must be inplace before the rifle is pointed anywhere but down range on the firing line including charging of cylinder.

CMP, ISSF, USA SHOOTING basic, basic, basic, f_ing basic airgun handling.
