Was going thru some of my old files and found this picture I had saved way back when.
A very interesting picture for me as I have spent a good part of my life in metal stamping. Hope you like this picture as much as I do.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

G,
Is it an M16? From what I learned (with this helmet), is that this is a complicated process and early on they were still working out the kinks to the drawing process. Most of these were rejected but many got through. As years went by they got better and better...until late WW2 when quality slipped again.
You can read all about it here and watch a video too.

Quote:Remember this one Steve? Great metal working skills.......LoL But seriously. As you noted, early production, dirty dies or poor steel resulted in this.
Indeed I do remember that helmet of yours!!
