    Mystery Items

    I have no idea what these are, and I've asked around and searched for a couple months since finding them in my gun box. They were with my pre-1950 pistol collection and are made of aluminum with a steel screw at the base. They are springy, and vaguely bullet shaped.

    Ideas:

    Candle holders?
    Shooting-themed top spinner?
    Wall mounted bracket for moon clips?
    Possibly some kind of pen or pencil holder?
    Secret Ninja Weapon?
    Corn cob holders?

      Moonclip holders, perfect for those of us with 610s and 625s.

      See Jerry Miculek in action for more.




      Note the thingy on his belt. Some of us wear lotssss of those.

          Ah! but then what's the deal with the center bit? It is removable at least, but I've never seen speedloader holders with that installed.

            You know how I can tell that I have a bigger monitor than you?

            And several hundred moonclips and dozens of moonclip holders.......

            It's not a speedloader holder.....

              I don't know but you need a few more.
              It doesn't matter how scary, ugly, uncomfortable, or inconvenient self defense can be. Like it or not, you will never, ever be relieved of your duty and responsibility to defend your life, your family, your country and your freedom.

              How much ammo do I need? Enough to last me the rest of my life, and then lot more for later.

              The government does not come knocking at your door. It comes knocking down your door.

                Look like belt mounted moon clip holders. And nice lookin' ones at that. Want!

                  Maybe they would work for holding Corn on the Cobb....
                  Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...

                  I belong to the group that uses firearms, and knows which bathroom to use.

                  Tis better to have Trolled & lost, Than to never have Trolled, at all.

                    Cam across a few of these for sale at a gun store; thought of your post. I found the actual company that CURRENTLY makes them, located in Culver City, CA of all places! Brownells' distirbutes them for the company. Nice photo of an additional accessory that holds multiples, and how to wear them!

                    If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
