Hello Again, I just got done drooling over my new Dragon flak kit. There are a couple of parts (assembly #1) that I don’t recognize. It’s the two-piece sort of anvil-shaped thing. I’m guessing it’s either (A) a device for correcting the gunner by whacking him on the head, (B) a foot step to help shine boots, or (C) a V-shaped cooling rest for hot barrels. Any other ideas?

I'm with Cookie Sewell on this one. Apparently it's a stand for helping reload magazines. Haven't a clue how it works though! Could always be a boot-scraper, it was awfully muudy on some of those fields! :-) :-) :-)

Hey! A speed loader! I hadn't thought of that, but it makes more sense than my idea. I was starting to flash back to the old line from Airplane: "What can you make of this?" "Well, we can make a hat, or a bowtie, or a cape.... etc." Thanks, Keith.

I'm with the speed loader/loading tray crowd.....

"A hospital..! What is it??

It's a big building with patients in it, but we don't have time for that right now...."



You'd think that with this crowd, giving up sniffing glue would be an issue.... hahahahaha

Ok, sorry it took so long. My scanner is about to find out what it's like to spend the night in the middle of the street in January in New Jersey.
Hopefully this will work. I'm a newbie at Handling images. Keith.

Still looks like some kind of loading tray to me but I don't know for sure. I tried to google some images but that didn't help much. I'll keep looking......
