[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1736080, member: 78056"] 436, your cartridges look like some kind of "ejection enhancer," something to assure the empty comes out, along the lines of the HK system, complete with the lines along the case. Just a guess but anywhere near a base and you're likely to come across things that make little sense. While chasing bunnies out around Edwards AFB in Mojave we came across everything from pieces of airplanes to really odd cartridges, bullets, training rounds, you name it. Once, there was a C-130 flying around with some poor slob hanging out the back in what looked like a bosun's chair at pretty low altitude (about 3 - 400')! The pilots waved at us but the poor guy hanging out the back wasn't about to let go of the lines he had to hold on to! They made several circuits but of course it was one time I didn't have a camera with me. As to my widget... it's quite possible it's missing parts but unless it's fired out of something with a rimfire firing pin, nothing's going to happen. Has anyone ever heard of a rimfire bolt that would fit into a .308? I certainly haven't but that's not saying a lot. Could just be a fancy fishing weight, too! I think I'm going to have to go with sedancowboy's idea of a Contender insert, possibly homemade. Beyond that... could be anything anyone wants it to be! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
