Nice! I havnt seen one like that before but ive always thought `Ub` meant for training or practice purposes?

cheers
waff
 
Its an interesting item the AZ73A2 never normally had anything other than a steeel closing cap on it, the black shiny thing inside could be Black pitch to stop a live gaine being screwed into it , any idea of where it came from if Richlin then it could be experimental
UB is Practice
