Indian1 Pillar of the Community United States 3640 Posts	Posted 05/20/2012 09:45 am Very unusual. Never saw a retained wrapped around like that before. The angles of the bent wire also look alike and are almost the exact same length. The odds of this happening are way high. Considering what has to exactly happen during the strike or just up to it actually. Nice keeper. Report this Post to the Staff
