I don’t know where to put this since I can’t determine what it is……

Does anyone recognize this? I found it on the top shelf of my safe and can’t remember what the heck it is…






Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

No shit?

I thought it was part of one of my guns.

Thanks for the assist! Now I will put it in my tools case and not put it back in the safe.

Anytime! Glad to help! Back in the days of bountiful surplus Mil spec ammo, these were a god send! I picked up a bunch of different caliber ones and probably used them each a few times on guns I owned and a lot more on friends and fellow shooters at various ranges/ classes. One guy who was absolutely an AK fanboy had them aboard a few of his AKs when attending classes and matches.

Yep, broken shell extractor.

You were seeing separations on new ammo??

[Pappabear]

I bought a couple of those and don’t remember ever using them. But better to have and not need……

During the late 80s and a good chunk of the 90s there was surplus ammo and stuff from all over gods green earth! Some very old stuff along with fairly current surplus ammo. Surplus guns and ammo were all over and inexpensive, it was a good time!
