what is it?

eastwood44mag
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO POST A PICTURE? PLEASE? Without the picture, my request for info is kind of useless....

OK, I saw this at a garage sale the other day. WTH? I looks to be a palm gun of sorts....? The end screws off and it looks like you insert a single round in it, possibly a .32? Then with the black knob in your palm, you compress it and it would appear to fire at that point. I advised the guy to put it away, and let me find out what I can about it. So how about it? Does anyone have a clue? Is it legal? Should I forget that I saw it? Should I buy it?

Thanks GREATLY in advance!!

    A thin strip of metal that holds the cartridges by the rim. It, along with the cartridges, is inserted into the top of the receiver and the cartridges are than pushed off (stripped) into the magazine. the clip is than discarded and the first round loaded into the chamber.
    Mauser 98's Springfield -03's and SKS all used this system, as did a few others. Adapters have also been issued to allow filling a box mag with strippers, for things like BAR, M-16 AK?, 30carbine etc.

    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.

    It is the stamped sheet-metal device that holds usually 5 to 10 rounds of ammo that is used to charge a magazine.
