Alright, new game thread. Someone posts a picture of a part with little or no hint as to what it is and people try to guess it. After a part is guessed they can take one of there own or pass it on to anyone else.

No parts from like a gun from like 1393 that no one could ever know.

I figure this could be fun once we get it going.

Il give a strong hint to start this one off.

anyone with an AR-15 will make 3-5 stops a year to replace this lost part.

Holy crap! A good close up picture from my cam!

LMAO I have no idea what thats from. I have only taken my bolt completely apart, so I would say its something from the lower. But I wouldnt know since I got mine pre-assembled and all.

 

[techwrtr2]

Actually mu first guess would be a post sight, but I don't have an AR here for reference.

 

[Blindeye_03]

nah it looks round by the shadow. I think a spring goes around it in the lower but I really wouldnt know - thats my best guess

buffer retainer

^ Good work!

care to post a picture?

 

[xxG3xx]

i will have to look around

 

[Blindeye_03]

lmao I was gonna say that when I was cleaning my rifle today, I was like hmm that sure looks like the part .

 

[brucelee]

Lost my damn buffer retainer!!! Had to get a replacement!

 

[fatcat]

Anyone else care to post a part?

 

[brucelee]

I got one...

Can't recall the specific model this is from, but know the gun and era and what it is.

Hint: Civil War era


If someone knows what this is, I'll buy myself a beer. (cuz I'm too broke to buy anyone else beer. lol )

 

[xxG3xx]

the thingy you put that cap on lol

 

[fatcat]

Oh no's I dont know Civil war stuff!

I do know it is the part that holds the percussion cap...

 

[brucelee]

^^

Ha ha... I doubt anyone would guess that in the history of time... It's a civil war musket nipple.

 

[xxG3xx]

close enough lol

 

[Adler]

I actually knew this..being a history of military tech guy

 

[kartoffel]

I'm too late, but could have guessed it's a sidelock percussion nipple. Pour yourself a cold one anyway if you're still up.

How about this handy item?

 

[Adler]

I know I have a part that NO ONE here would get. Its just not very easy to photograph and remove.

 

[fatcat]

I have no idea what that is...

 

[Scirion]

It looks familiar... But I don't recall what it actually IS...
