What piqued your interest about military surplus?

Isn't it fun mmppres when you put a thing together just to find a screw or such left over and its position in the whole mix is right in the centre of the item you just pulled apart and re-assembled.

And it's even worse when you have no clue where the leftover came from or where it goes. That's another thing I appreciate about the old designs...every pin and screw is unique...no guesses required about where it goes.
