Big Al Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Does anyone know where I can find a Geco flare gun for less than $90.00? Or has that ship sailed at this point? One like the one in the attached photo. Edited September 30, 2012 by Annihilator I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Annihilator I, Seems like there were a bunch of those at Knob Creek a few years ago. I don't know if any are left, but I'll keep an eye out the weekend of October 12th while I'm there. David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper28 Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Have bought them from Numrich at Knob creek for about $35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted September 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 (edited) Down the bore from the breach:Is that discoloration midway down something to be concerned about? Should it be polished out somehow? Edited September 21, 2013 by Big Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Still need to know whether to polish out the discoloration out of the bore or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalbert Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 It looks like some corrosion, or other remnant from use. I think it just needs to be neutralized through cleaning. I'm not sure polishing it out will help it, hurt it, or make any difference... David Albertdalbert@sturmgewehr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted November 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thanks, David. It does appear to be just a stain. There is no active corrosion present in the bore. Just wondering about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguinchick10@live.com Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 I like this flare gun you bought very much! You said that you were looking for one under $90.00! But you did not mention where you got this Flare Gun, or how much you paid for it? I have been looking for a cheap one of these Geco's for a long time now. A few years back you could pick one up for $35 bucks all day long! Not now though. Does anyone know where I can get a German Geco, flare gun now? The cheaper the better! Let me know. Here is my e-mail to: penguinchick10@live.com Thanx Guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It was $51.45 from Numrich Gun Parts Corp. They are not available from there anymore, I am afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AR-50A1 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Big Al, I have an LP2 like yours and I have found the best bore solvent is regular old Windex glass cleaner on a saturated patch/cleaning rod. The propellant found in most of the 26.5mm flares you can purchase is black powder based. Windex may even remove the powder ring you see midway down your barrel.

Big Al Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Thanks, AR-50A1. I'll give it a try when I get a suitable cleaning rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
