Here comes a long, boring, wet winter. Maybe a snowy and cold one where you live. So I got to thinking, "How could I liven up the forum a bit?" The result was the What'sit game.
I'll bet that every one of us has at least several odd items that you know what it is, but I or someone else might not. Also, many of the somewhat unusual items we might have may well be recognized by one generation of shooters, but not another, so there is a great possibility for education by visiting and posting on this thread. It has the potential to be a 100 pager with enough interest and participation.
Some ground rules? You can post a picture of any item or items related to any of the forum's sub-forums. A non-inclusive list would be casting, ammunition and reloading, firearms and accessories, etc. Even cooking and trapping. But you should state at the top of your post the category into which it falls, such as "Reloading." Please, no ringers like pieces of milking machines, carburetor parts, etc.--keep it forum related. Once you tease and tantalize us with your item(s) wait a couple of days to give time for some guesses, then revisit the thread and give us the answers. Example: Post #12 was a combination tool for an M14 rifle. You can post as many items as you want in as many different photos as you want, singly or several in the same picture, related to each other or not, just keep them related to our hobbies as listed by the various forum titles.
O.K., then, I'll go first: Military Rifles:
Everyone will recognize the items in this picture as clips, stripper and en-bloc. What rifles were they designed to fit?

I'll be back with another photo tomorrow, and with the answers the day after. Your turn!
