cable (ladder) ties

rlfcjf
at gunshows and elsewhere i have noticed that many
dealers and collectors use these ties to prevent the
firearms actions from being operated. i have researched
them and found a site that requires one to order 1000
at a time. is anyone familiar with these ties and would
possibly know where a lesser volume can be gotten.

thanks

rick

    If we are thinking about the same things, you should be able to get them at most hardware stores or autopart stores.

    No problem, your responder's have replied. Usually about ten bucks or
    less per hundred, sometimes much less. Also known as tie wraps.

    If you rent a table at the show, the promoter usually provides them/some for you.

    As 101 suggests, shop around. These things can be had pretty cheaply, and should - they can be produced for well less than a $0.01 each. If you have no luck locally, then take a look at some of the packaging suppliers; they carry them also.

    I find them at Home Depot and Lowes in the electrical section.

    I buy an assortment from Lowes to keep at my workbench. Really cheap. Overall.I use them to tie all kinds of things.

    a/c supply houses usually sell them for less than 2 cents each in bulk, but sell in bags of 100 really cheap

    The ties we use at the shows, are about 1/4" wide, and are not as hard as the ones you buy at a hardware store and have holes in it. If you ask at the gun show...Maybe you can buy them at the door.I know we buy about 10,000 at a time so we get them CHEAP! I think we sell them for $1.00 for 25.

    another good use for them is for your deer tag, here in WI we have to tag the deer first thing after killing it , state provides the tag but no way to fasten it to the deer , just put the zip tie thru the tag and thru a ear or around the antler and you don't have to worry about your tag coming off
