Anybody ID This Part?

Says 308 on it.

Many thanks in advance...

Powder through die/adapter?

It's a four thousandths undersized alignment tool for a 5/16 muffler bearing.

If you have ever used a muffler bearing alignment tool, you would know. 308 is the right size for a 5/16 bearing, any larger and it would stick.

Sheesh! Any fool should know that it puts a bevel on a .308 loob groove, i bet you could do a whole box full in no time with a tool like that!

[boltons75]

Maybe an adjustable top punch?

[HighHook]

Right away I saw it...... it's a thing a me jigger

OK guys, give the new kid a break. It looks to me like a Lyman 310 die for 308 Winchester. Or a bullet sizing die for a 310 Tong tool?

[DenverDuck]

Not a powder through die and not a 310 tong tool die has standard 7/8 threads. It is like a competition seater die, but flat where the nose is and like a cylinder all the way through it.

[FLHTC]

Looks like parts to an old swaging die

[MtGun44]

Not 310 die, threads WAY too coarse.

Guys - give him a break,
everybody knows that they haven't used that size of muffler bearing in YEARS. :bigsmyl2:

PS, really is not 310 tool.

[wallenba]

Actually, the advent of the dynamic dangle clamp has obsoleted all muffler bearings. Probably why we see so many of these laying around.

I do believe it is a seater die.

[Pressman]

Could be a base forming die as part of a swagging set, missing the nose die. It would function something like the RCBS dies only upside down.
That is my story and I am sticking to it.
Actually I have something similar with 310 threads that I cannot figure out.

It`s a Ferbascant seater/sizer tool, any plumber worth his 36"Rigid pipe wrench should know this!Robert

[dbosman]

Plumbers? I'm guessing the knurled part used to be threaded until the DIY novice plumber put a pipe wrench on only part way before twisting.

I'm with Dean! It looks just like one my cousin's uncles' brother used to have back in '07. (that's 1907)

[uscra112]

What does the inside of the upper part look like? Pics, maybe?

[Bent Ramrod]

If I had to guess, I would say it looks like a bullet puller collet die missing the tommybar and maybe the collet.

No markings on it at all?

[Wayne Smith]

Can't see what's inside. Nose sizing die?

[DenverDuck]

I believe this might be the best answer..... It has all the makings of a once complete bullet puller.

Many thanks for the help...

In New England they call that a "thing-a-ma-bob" but in New York it would be a "wat-cher-collet". And...... Although NOT the correct color for the aforementioned "wat-cher-collet" it just may be a "whoosie-watsis". Now..... If it has a straight cylinder bore and a flat top seater..... In all probability it is a compression die for black powder OR a seater die for shotshell components. I have been known to be wrong, and my ex-wife NEVER failed to make the world aware iof that fact. But........ That's my guess!
