Blue Force Gear MARCO HR Marking Light Dispenser
The Blue Force Gear MARCO HR uses a palm-operated mechanism to activate and dispense a marking light into your hand with a squeeze. Its refillable body keeps compact marking lights together for low-light marking practice.
Load it with up to 30 compatible two-inch MARCO marking lights before use. This black dispenser is supplied empty. Marking lights and a compatible carrier are sold separately; the Ten-Speed MOLLE pouch for MARCO 1.5 does not fit this model.
"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
Does the MARCO HR include marking lights or a carrier?
No. The MARCO HR is supplied empty. Compatible two-inch MARCO marking lights and a suitable carrier must be purchased separately.
How to Use: MARCO HR
1. Release the locking tabs on each side of the ram and swing it down to expose the loading port.
2. Insert compatible two-inch MARCO lights one at a time, pressing the stack into the dispenser. Load no more than 30 lights.
3. Close the ram and lock both tabs.
4. Hold the dispenser in your palm and squeeze with your fingers to activate and dispense a light into your hand.
Which MARCO dispensers accept these refill lights?
MARCO two-inch refill lights are compatible with both the MARCO 1.5 and MARCO HR. A 30-pack provides one full load for either dispenser.
Does the MARCO MOLLE pouch fit the MARCO HR?
No. The Ten-Speed MOLLE pouch is designed for the MARCO 1.5 and does not fit the MARCO HR. The pouch is supplied without a dispenser or marking lights.
How should I store MARCO marking lights?
Keep unused lights in their foil packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Reseal the refill bag after removing lights. BFG notes that light performance starts to degrade after the original foil seal is opened.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
