    What are these things?

    I am sorting through a lot I bought and I don't know what these items are (among other things!) Do any of the members recognize them? Thanks.

    top two

    look like magazine 'loaders' of some description....pistol??? submachine gun??
    bottom looks like a camera tripod. Middle one perhaps a scope mount for M16icon?? or something similar with a carrying handle...

    Top pic is probably an M3 greasegun mag loader.
    Next ? mag loader of some sort.
    3rd pic is a cheap AR15 scope mount.
    4th probably a spotting scope stand, or not!

    These answers are worth the photons hitting your eyeballs and not much more!

    Pic 1 is mag loader for M3 greasegun as already stated. Pic 2 is the charging handle from an M3 greasegun, later discontinued in favour of using the index finger to cock the weapon. Pic 3 is a scope rail for an AR15/M16icon with a carry handle. Good luck with the fourth one but don't throw it out, someone will want it!

    Thanks guys for the feedback. I bought a bunch of misc. stuff and these items were in the lot. I don't want them and would like to sell them if they are worth anything. If they have little value I have a friend with a Class III and he may want the grease gun items for grins...if so I will just give them to him. ??
