Source for OBIs?

OK, I know the NRA now calls them ECIs (Empty Chamber Indicators), but I need a source for the smallbore ones. Actually they are designed for the AR platform as I recall it and they fit into a .22 cal bore without modification. I have been handing out improvised ones made from trimmer string and surveyor's tape at our matches, but I need to get some of the ones people need when they go to larger matches.
Thanks in advance,
Rick

You can make a good one from a piece of trimmer string and a ground wire crimp. They are damn cheep to make and they fit into a 22 bbl a lot better than the NRA ones.

The NRA ones break easily and if one breaks inside the chamber its not easy to remove without tools or cleaning rod.
