20mm SAPHEI Projectile OEM Inert Paperweight

I had some spent brass I kept as a souvenir kicking around the house since I left the service nearly 20 years ago. when I saw these inert projectiles I had to get one.I polished a piece of brass real nice and hit it with some clear coat to keep it from tarnishing again. then I took this round and it has a channel just wide enough that I could put an O-ring in it. this allows me to friction fit the round to the brass in a way that it can be easily removed. so I ended up with a cool little nick-knack that I can put stuff in, like paper clips for example. I gave it to my son as a stocking stuffer this Christmas and it sits on his desk. The projectile comes on and off like a cork on a bottle and the tip of the projectile can be removed to reveal another hollow, not sure what could be small enough to stow in there, but its nice to have options.We used to shoot tons of this stuff when I was in the Navy and literally every gun range I've been to in this area has some of this spent brass displayed somewhere. So if you have some of this brass lying around collecting dust, here's a chance to make something cool with it. And if you don't have the brass, fear not because it looks like they sell a kit that includes the brass too for a reasonable price. However, I chose to use my own brass. It just seems like a more sentimental gift if it comes from rounds I actually fired myself.

This is very high quality and looks awesome in some 20mm brass.

This projectile seems to be very accurate and even though it is inert it appears to be a live round.It looks wonderful on one of my 20mm cases that I polished and even though that is not accurate it looks really good.

My only regret is not getting the other 2 I need, these are awesome! 😎

That would hurt to get hit with

Looks amazing and a great conversation piece!

I love this round, matches my 25mm api. ceralised, looks awesome, opens too! highly recommend.
