Attached are a few photos of what I assume is some sort of Rarden proof projectile.
My query is why the large bolt in the back of it?
Dave.

I think the bolt would have had washers similar to ones for mortar shells to act as counter weights/stabilisers on it?
 
Hi Dave, thats a new one on me, never seen anything even close mate.

Hope alls well, Charlie
