SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted January 19, 2015 Share #1 Posted January 19, 2015 (Not sure if this is an appropriate section for this post, if not Mods please move)Was taking a close look at some of my USMC pins. Haven't seen anything with kind of catch before. I originally thought it was just a C-catch but notice now it has a strange locking piece maybe a precursor to the roller-catch? Check it out and tell me what you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtMaddoxUSMC Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted January 22, 2015 Anyone seen one like this at all? I thought it was interesting, but I figure someone has to know more about it! I have a handfull of these QM wheels and this is the only one with this style catch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
