hawkdriver Posted March 11, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2013 I had a guy at the Hastings show come to me and ask if I had ever seen one of these. I hadn't and took pictures for posterity as few of these exist. First to guess what it is wins, youdon't get anything, but you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGrayGhost Posted March 11, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2013 It's an En Bloc from the experimental .276 Pedersen, a rifle that eventually became the Garand.

TheGrayGhost Posted March 11, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 11, 2013 Yeah, I'm a wiener. Are those the correct rounds as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted March 11, 2013 Share #6 Posted March 11, 2013 Technically, that is a first pattern non-reversible clip used in the US trials.

jeremy69 Posted March 11, 2013 Share #7 Posted March 11, 2013 Very neat indeed. I picked up a box of .276 Pedersen rounds a few years ago, box is a little worn and the guy tumbled the rounds. Paid like $25 so I am OK... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandomatic Posted March 11, 2013 Share #8 Posted March 11, 2013 Late to the party, but that was my guess too. Pretty cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
