Almost. No clamp. It either slides over the barrel (my photo) or with the perforated heat shield swung out of the way the coat hanger parts of the handle are used without the shield cover to lift the barrel end of the gun.

I don't care. Let the buyer beware.

New flower, new Whatzit.

If location is a clue, this whatzit is located next to the creek, south of my house in Columbia, Kentucky.

No, not family relatives.

Okay; the leaves were not really right anyway. Familiar, they are. More like a laurel...

Magnolia is the identity I was looking for.

The Bigleaf magnolia has 30 inch leaves and white flowers with rose-purple at the petal bases.

The locals call this Whatzit a Cucumber tree. It's leaves are 18 inches long and the flowers are white all the way down.

Funky. Looks very little like the magnolia I am familiar with here

Good answer but not correct.

Maybe seeing more of it will help.

Some type of adjustment gauge but I have no idea of use.
