web site.http://noreast.com/fisherynews.cfm?ID=386
Flare Gun Malfunction problem
Fishery News Posted 12/29/03
Stephen Byrne
A defective opening mechanism in some 12-gauge
plastic flare guns manufactured by Olin (now Orion Safety Products) prior
to 2000 may not open wide enough to accept a flare cartridge. Guns with a
modification to correct the possible problem are marked with U.S. Coast
Guard approval code 160 028//12/1. Boaters with older flare guns should
check the operation of the opening mechanism now and at the start of each
boating season. If the breech will not open wide enough to accept a
cartridge, the gun should be sent back for a replacement. Send defective
guns to:
