I bought this insert with the German Geco flare gun and it fits like a glove.Wish the 26.5mm flares are a bit less expensive but judging by the fine quality of the 12ga insert,I'll be using it a lot.Very prompt service from KeepShooting.com too. (Posted on 4/13/12)

Great product, had to shave .004" off to get a snug fit, which took but a couple minutes. Very pleased, would definitely recommend to anyone with a 26.5mm flare gun. (Posted on 3/23/12)

Great Product. Review by JoshG21

I had to modify my insert to get it to fit in my German flare gun. The only tricky part was knowing how much metal to take off. You can take all the blueing off the outer edge pretty easily. Once that layer was all completely off I started checking its fit in the flare gun barrel every couple of rounds I made with sand paper. It didn't take very long to get a very snug fit. Then I cleaned up the edge with fine grit and a shammy. I will admit that the 12 gauge flares are far less impressive than the 26.5mm, but they are way cheaper! (Posted on 1/14/12)

Far more economical for very little work. Review by AvidShooter

The H&K and the Blued GECO flare guns will fit this insert out of the box. Both of the Polish and Czech models and the Parkerized GECO will require a .004" modification to fit the insert. It took about 3-4 minutes, start to finish, using fine grit sandpaper. I don't recommend using a power tool as it is hard to grind evenly on the outside of the cylinder. (Posted on 1/13/12)

Did not have to shave any off because it fits perfect in the h&k, but the others will need .004 removed. Would have given it 5 stars but it had a nick on the breach, but dosn't affect it from operating. Great Product (Posted on 10/24/11)

26.5mm 12 gauge insert. Review by John David

I would have given it a 5 star but because I had to work .004" off of it in order for it to work. So I have to give it 4 stars out of 5. Although it will fit Orion HP flares and will fit and fire 1 5/8 pepper rounds with no problems. Plus you can't beat the price with a stick! (Posted on 7/20/11)

A must-have accesory for any 26.5 mm flare gun Review by kepiblanc

If you want to order any of the flare guns on this web site, or already own a 26.5 mm flare gun, then you really ought to order this 12 gauge insert, because then you can fire the 12 gauge flares with it, and those flares are much cheaper than the 26.5 mm flares. (Posted on 5/12/11)
