[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 634277, member: 8258"]If so, it could be a shipping cap/retainer for an artillery rocket. "REMOVE FOR ROCKET ON" seems like military speak, as well. The tips of the artillery rockets have fuzes (no typo) that have detonators in them. There would be some sort of cap to prevent accidental detonation during storage and travel. By the looks of it, it is reverse threaded, too.[/QUOTE]
