Thise are called 'Pins'


Not these. These are obviously flat head machine screws - with no
threads!


I keep things like that in my "coitus interruptus" collection
box -- incomplete screws. :-)

The joys of working in a hardware store.

Goes in the collection with the 303 round with the primer loaded
in "backwards".


I have a 45-70, a half dozen 30-06s..a German 8x57 and a handful of
pistol rounds all with backwards primers, all factory original and most
military issue... Oh..and (2) 7x57s with...no primers.


Hmm ... poor QC on those.

Did the 7x57s have any powder (left)? Were they supposed to
have Berdan primers, so there would be smaller holes for the powder to
leak out of? :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
