A permanent tin-foil hat to screw on my head.

Well, those are splines, AFSis. You'll have to get screwed somewhere else. That's definately a push-pull designed to *not* twist off. Which is a clue, actually. Not just innuendo.

Looks like part of a fuze or something. I know ... you want more detail ... LOL

Looks to me like it's a keg modified for long range ballistic delivery.

Short muzzle loading barrel with early straight rifling and multiple touch-holes.

Hmmm...well, I don't think fuze, because those normally screw into arty rounds...and I doubt guidance, since I don't see a provision for any leads back to the tail... I notice we aren't allowed to see into what looks like a hollow front end cap. And it looks like it's meant to be secured by securing screws in addition to spines... I'm wondering about either: A. One part of a binary chemical artillery delivery system, or... B. Part of an artillery/launch system for high trajectory something-or-other where something comes out of that front end that we're not being allowed to see at the top of it's travel. No idea what, though.

You'll have to get screwed somewhere else. I'm sure you mean somewhere like work, John.. because we all know you'd NEVER make any references to getting screwed somewhere else. Nor would you EVER post pictures of things that look more like @n@l beads and dildo's for whazzis posts. Nope. Never. not you. And no, I've never touched a man's zipper before either. heh.

its an Olive Drab canvas shelter half, circa 1982, with a hunk of metal on it.

Ah, MajMike takes the road less traveled... [Armorer scribbles note to self for some fun in the future]
