    Oooh,,now that would be so exciting

    Here is a little mystery item I found on the capitulation site Im digging.. A modified rifle casing with a bullet stuck the wrong way around in it. It is heavy-ish, and there is something inside it, I can hear and feel something move when I shake it Have ordered a kinetic hammer andhoping i ll get the bullet unstuck with the help of it .

    It's a 6.5x55 mm Krag Jorgensen dummy cartridge Sweden made. Cartridge designed for the rifle Swedish Krag of 1894 and has served like ammo of Hotchkiss and Madsen machine guns too.
