#3 Grommets

[Unstable 8]

Spur Grommets with rolled rim Washer, MIL-16491, Class 3, Specified in Mil-DTL-20230...

Is there any application is parachuting for size "3"? I Always see 0's and 1's on containers (1's on some pilot rigs), 2's on reserve freebags (between molar ears) and main Dbags, 4, 5, and 6 on Main bags, and 8's on sliders...

Anybody ever see 3's?

Edited for spelling*

Oh, probably somewhere.

'Back in the day' there was a lot of learning to be developed & a lot of various grommet sizes were used just about everywhere.

Today things have settled down much more. I haven't seen a #3 in quite a few years, other than what I have laying around.

Out of curiosity, why do you ask?

Honestly, just out of Curiosity. I'm doing more and more pilot rigs and other oddities and slowly growing my rigging tool collections, and I realized that size "3" was the only one I don't have. I was placing an order with Lord & Hodge and was debating on making the investment.

Hi Sahun,

I thought I might have a #3 but I do not.

But as I got to looking around I found that I do have a few too many possibly; they range from a #0 to a #8.

What did you need the #7 for?
