xromad Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) I found this on the side of road Monday. I cleaned it up with steel/brass brushes on a Dremel, and cleaned out the hole with a punch and hammer. It's Ferro Magnetic, and the left end looks like a fracture face. Other than that, we're stumped. Anyone know what this is?? PS: I'm asking about the thing above the gray thing. I think that's a ruler.

gwalchmai Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) That's a pin, X. You lock it down by inserting a tenon into that slot. What the pin secures, I can't tell ya. Maybe it's s'posed to secure a ballot box somewhere... What's that red thing at the top? Looks like part of a shell feeder.

Since we are on the LEE bash-wagon by now, that pin could be a LEE case locator pin, if they would have a proper shell plate. The size matches LEE's tolerances quite well.

tous Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I have used Lee handloading products for dang near 40 years, made a butt-load of ammunition in many calibers, and have few complaints. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MO Fugga Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) It's for concrete pans. How they lock the forms together. Uses a longer wedge shape for the slot. It could be an older one, as they use 2 of the same these days. Edited May 28, 2021 by MO Fugga 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a guy that actually knew how to use a roofer's square. (He was building a garage) I watched him for a while, and still never got it. Give him the flat pencil. Swish, swish, swish. "Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Cut here. Cut here." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised how rough it is though, can't hardly believe that it corroded that much. Fortunately, I have access to a complete Metallurgical Lab, and a Metallurgist, so I'm going get it cut, mounted, and take a look at it that way. The "red" thing is a piece from a VersaTrak gearbox from my old Pontiac Aztek. I had to replace the box so I got the old one and took it apart. (surprisingly small amount of pieces in it). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
