Italian term

salva percursori

Italian to English Other Military / Defense Weapons
This is from a list of weapons and accessories. Here is a link I found (no connection to my project) with a nice large image of these little buggers: http://www.rizzini.it/index.php?page=shop.product_details&fl...
What are these called in English?

Closed too hastily I should not have closed this question so quickly. It would be well for something to get written in the glossary and someone can of course pick up the points. I have already stated the answer that I have chosen but that doesn't mean someone can't verify it or prove it wrong. So the question is open again.

percussori ovviamente si trattava di un errore, dato che il sito riporta in seguito, percussori.

William Murphy (asker) Sep 8, 2010:
I went with 'percussion blank' as 'striker', 'firing pin', etc. did not correspond to the other elements of my list or, for that matter, to the image I used as an example.

What was the answer?
Michele Armellini Sep 8, 2010:
Glad you found the answer elsewhere. You will have understood that "percursori" contains a misleading typo, it's "percussori" (strikers).

striker container

Note I'm guessing... That said, I think it could be a container (also called striker box) to keep a spare striker in.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, I actually used this term in the end. You and Gian both got through the smoke and understood that 'salva' was not 'salvo' in any form or fashion. Nicely done, thank you."

firing pin or striker protective holder

Penso che con "salva" si intenda un mezzo per proteggerlo al fine di non rovinarlo
Note from asker:
Many thanks to you as well Gian. I wanted to split the points but, since I don't think it's possible, I gave them to the earliest response. Your confidence in the answer helped mine though. Thanks again.
