Do you recognize this small spring clip?

[farmbif]

part for a mec maybe? do you own a mec progressive or one with primer feed tray. I'm not very familiar with lee presses or primer or powder systems.
im guessing you probably have a bunch of different reloading gear. and maybe is for oner of those things. again I'm no expert but I dont think it is a part for any kind of gun I'm familiar with

I cropped the pic and had to post it so I could search the net.
I'll edit this post if I find anything...



Edit:
Search only came up with one shooting related results:
Some Browning Buck Mark pistol slide stop spring.
Edit2:
Searched ebay for trigger return spring and slide stop spring, no luck.
Looked at Dillon priming and powder drop stuff, nothing there.
jmo,

The best, and quickest way I can think of to find out what its for is to throw it away.

Before long, you'll realize you need it for whatever it was for and have to buy a new one....

I laughed out loud as soon as I read that. Great answer because most of us have done that.

I hate to ruin all of the fun but...I got a PM that suggested it may be the clip that goes on the toilet handle to hold the chain. I think that may actually be it

[Winger Ed.]

It's the old style that went away several years ago.
They used to come off easily, and the new ones are a snap hook design.
But that's exactly what it is.


Keep it in your reloading stuff.
It's bound to come in handy for something.

That is some pretty good sleuthing Kenstone.

It's for the set screw to hold the (Fancier kind than I buy) handle on.
Lots of sink handles are held on the same way.

Or it's for a set screw holding the brass rod into the base of the handle.

Thank God, I was about to tear my Sl 900 apart to look at the springs!

[Hootmix]

"Then", i came across this thread, and have not stopped LMAO, reading every-ones answers, THANK YOU one& all, you have made my day much, much better.

A whole new forum heading should be started called "What the heck is this?"

[Johnny Diamond]

Remind's me of a Saturday night live show (back in John Belushi days) the skit consisted of 3-5 of them standing around and all they said was " what the hell is it " seemed very weird then. But it gave me a chuckle also when I realized.... oh yeah a toilet tank hook he's right

It looks like the piece that holds brass into the press at the priming station of a Dillon.

The older lots had a chain opening (the smaller hook) that wasn't as flared like the one you have.

[Winger Ed.]

It's become obvious that most of us here either have an out house, sit on a log and 'grab a branch',
or spend as little time as possible looking down into commodes.

I've spent a bunch of time sitting on them backwards with the lid off peering at the guts. The pants be up when that happens and the pay is pretty good. Thank goodness my nose has been broken so many times.

I think the guesses from people that didn’t read what it was, are just as funny as what it is.

[Winger Ed.]

I've spent a bunch of time sitting on them backwards with the lid off peering at the guts.

A life long friend had a Plumbing company for several years that mostly worked service on commercial properties.
We mostly ran gas lines, fixed under ground water leaks that required a jack hammer or back hoe to get to.
I'd go out with him on emergency calls late at night, and work for him on my days off.

He was a laid back, dry wit sort of guy.
One time we were at a supply house, and a young kid behind the counter was obviously having girl friend
problems and was all stressed out over them.

He told his tale of woe to my buddy, then asked for his advice.
My buddy didn't want to take a position on that, so he casually the kid,
"Don't ask me. I spend all day looking down in commodes".

I managed to keep a straight face,,,,,, but it was hard.

I know I’ve seen something that looks like that, but can’t place it.
