I know! It's THE SHOULDER THING THAT GOES UP!

Or what the Brits call a "spanner."

Fiftycal said...

It's a "high capacity magazine clip".

Sigivald said...

It's a screw-on muzzle device?

What for? Beats me.

Critter said...

it makes the gun an "assault gun".

Scott J said...

Tac light holster?

Oh and wife and I are going to see Oblivion based on your recommendation.

Dinner at Jim N Nicks BBQ first though.

Aegis said...

Thread cover for a Ruger .22 of some sort, mayhaps. To be removed and replaced with a suppressor for use with a red dot?

MonteG said...

I'm guessing a shift or break lever handle?

jed said...

Looks like the front sight for a Mini-14.

Dr_Mike said...

It's an adjustable front sight.

Twist left to shoot right, twist right to shoot left. If you have to twist too far, you'll have to hope your rear sight has a vertical adjustment. Or just shoot em when they're close.

MonteG said...

I take back my last guess, now that I'm looking at it on my computer. What I thought was a lever now looks like it's dovetailed. Nevermind!

Scoo J said...

Scratch tac light holder. I blew the pic up enough to see it's a front sight sleeve. Wrong shape for a 1903 but I bet it's another military rifle of that era.

Scott J said...

Wow, my phone butchered my name on that last comment.

Cut off shotgun barrel?

Turk Turon said...

It's a bayonet clip for a bayonet, so you can hook two bayonets together. Like in an emergency or something.

Critter said...

an operational device for operators who operate in operations.

The Slexec: might be that device up there.

Hah-- Easy! It's a doohicky designed to serve a purpose or purposes on a thing (and you thought you could fool me). -- Lyle

Barrel extension for Swedish Mauser carbine.

Non-registered drop in auto sear for a mosin-nagant.

Kristophr said...

Something you accidentally shoot off of the end of your latest cruffler rifle.

doubletrouble said...

Front sight for a threaded barreled P-08.

global village idiot said...

Front sight post for a canned Nagant revolver.

Hank said...

Looks like a shotgun choke, but some dumbass put a front sight on it.

Screw-on replasement front sight.

Aesop said...

It's the Gangsta Sight(TM), made by WrongCo.

When you holdz yo gat out flat ole skool style, ya twistz that thang aroun' and Presto! Da shizznit sight pitcha, dawg!

Scott J said...

In hopes it'll entice our hostess into providing the correct answer: her recommendation of "Oblivion" was spot on.

I liked it better than Matrix or Inception because there were more plot twists than either and I was never able to figure out where the story was going ahead of time.

Bender said...

It's a practice ammo adapter - you screw it on the muzzle to shred the wooden bullets used in the "practice" ammunition.

Prove I'm not a robot? But, but, but I AM a robot!

Fred said...

It's a front sight, that looks like it screws on to a threaded muzzle... doesn't seem to be a reliable repeat of zero in my mind though.

drjim said...

'Cmon, Tam, please tell us!

Ed Foster said...

If there's a dovetail underneath, I'd say a globe type front target sight, sans the screw in widgy that holds the sight inserts in place.

Brad K. said...

Looks like a part I need for my Winchester 67a smoothbore .22 kid's rifle.

At least, my muzzle is threaded like that, and I don't have a front sight. Yet.

And I am still unsure why I need a .22 without rifling, or why Winchester needed to make a few that way.

Ed Foster said...

Brad, back in the 50's they were big on .22 rimfire mini-trap shooting with .22 shells loaded with number 12 dust shot. Technically, you have a .22 shotgun.

Not sure, but I'll bet it's illegal in Massachusetts, Chicago, and San Francisco County.

The new Kel Tech front sight repair kit the owner of the previous picture was sent from Cocoa beach.

Shermlock Shomes said...

Put it back on the water heater before Roberta finds out it's gone.

I am sure that is a left threaded dip-thong adapter which is prohibited in states that require photo ID to purchase low yield carbon credits to offset the buildup of reactive pro-gun assimilation within small groups of tactical voters. For sure it is a gun thingy that requires rapid, repetitive, semi-automatic repeal by both the house and senate with emergency implementation and door to door searches to eradicate this menace.

It's a franistran, probably an early metric franistran. It's easy to confuse it with the english version of a doohicky.

It looks like a muzzle weight for a competition pistol, I imagine the sight is there to give you an extra inch and a half of sight radius.

Chas S. Clifton said...

It's Ted Serios' "gizmo."

WV: "optical." See, Google knows.

Ygolonac said...

Re: the .22 smoothbores - google up the Mossberg Targo for some prime eye-rolling. A friend of mine has one, with the barrel extension but not the optional underbarrel clay-thrower.

Here's a short Gun Digest article: http://www.gundigest.com/gun-collecting-firearm-collecting/targo-gone-but-not-forgotten

It's a Turbo Encabulator

Critter said...

Flux capacitor?

Bubblehead Les. said...

What ever it is, we are not advanced enough to have it, says The Doctor.

So please return it to the Tardis.

And Bow Ties are Cool.

Matt G said...

I so heart the comments on this post.

joethefatman said...

It's a “dynaflex superflowing unijet turbovasculator which is syncromeshed with a multicoil hydrotension dual vacuum dynamometer.”

Critter said...

Flux capacitor?

A Reader said...

Whatever it is, Geordi's going to need it to reverse the polarity of the tachyon beam through the main deflector dish

Gewehr98 said...

Could that be used to fix the slightly broken Kel-Tec in the previous picture?

This Rorschach test revealed a lot of wit and humor. I approve!

This is easy. It is a left threaded sub-gronicular posigen articulatrex.

Not rare, but not all that common either, I'd value it at about ummmm.....$47.50 if someone else wanted it.

Personally, I wouldn't tell you the time of day for it.
