A Gift with a Wink
Every serving soldier and veteran knows “standard issue” – the kit you are handed, signed for and expected to look after. This keyring turns that phrase into a compliment. It goes down well as a passing-out present, a leaving gift, or a thank-you to someone who has done their time.
Who It Suits
- Serving personnel and veterans
- Cadets and reservists
- Service rifle and practical shooters
- Anyone who will take the joke in the right spirit
The Round
It is made from a genuine once-fired 5.56×45 NATO case – the round of the SA80 family and of NATO rifles from the M16 onward. The case is cleaned, polished and resized to full length, a bullet is seated, and the phrase is laser engraved into the brass. A 25mm split ring is fitted.
