Found this next to a 3 ring bullet but it's significantly smaller and flat on the top. Any ideas? IMAG1612.webpIMG_0623.webpIMAG1612.webpIMG_0623.webp

My lawnmower has three rings on its piston, so I guess that would make it a 3 ring cylinder.

Here is an equation I used to get the caliber: 0(38)=the caliber of the bullet. That would equal invisible calibers!!!! That equation never lies.

I thought I saw it, but then realized it was dust on my monitor. That is really small. :dontknow:

The blurry one is for size comparison. That's the 2 ring bullet I found next to it.
