Morning all, been a while since I've done one of these but this one has me flummoxed and the knowledge pool on this site is incredible. It's a weird blackened brass thing that looks like a protective cover of some sort. No clues. Anyone got any ideas?

Looks like the muzzle protector from hell
Flux capacitor for a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.
Managed to get two completely different movie tropes in that one.
Its weird enough that it could be a movie thing except for the intricacy of manufacture. This thing would have been a bugger to make so I think it's some type of old timey accessory.
Wire cutter that fixes to bayonet
Used for cutting barbed wire in trenches etc
Just guessing mind you
I'm guessing a muzzle protector.
I'm racking my brains trying to figure out what has such a complicated muzzle though. @gundoc any ideas?Quote:

I have been scratching my head but don't know what it is.
Part of a musical instrument
Can opener attachment for the M1 Garand. Only to be used with the special can opening blank rounds.
Is it too far out to say it's just a clip on muzzle protector. Parade ground type thing to keep rain from the bore. The curved piece of spring steel keeps it firmly attached.
I was about to tag you figuring I am sure you would have an idea....Watching now with interest to see what it is....:thumbsup:Quote:

@NZShoota any ideas? You did guess the mystery en bloc clip last time.
Are we sure it is a firearm part?
My initial thoughts have already been suggested by others, another suggestion was some sort or aim corrector training aid that was missing the internal mirror but after looking at some online I don't think its one of those either. Sorry out of suggestions.Quote:

I am thinking it might be protective cover for an adjustable target aperture sight, as the thing seems to be in two planes like the vertical and horizontal limbs of a target sight.
Gunsmith's revenge. Make up some wierd junk, ferret it away in with random junk and wait for the fun to start :thumbsup:
Looks a bit similar to one of these -bayonet attachment for cutting wire.

$50 BOUNTY! DEAD OR ALIVE, ANY PROVABLE SOURCED INFORMATION OUT THERE?
So just thinking out loud, if I can find something that sounds feasible and sort of right, and cut and past one of those photo's of the little thingy in question in I get $50 and everyone is no wiser but suddenly happy?
