These nails are supplied without rings, although the photo shows a nail with a ring shank (see description). We only use 2-3 pcs 8" electroplated ring bar for all codes so I assumed "smooth bar" must be a misnomer in the written description as we don't use it here anymore). The picture of the Item is what we always ordered (with the ring) so of course I ordered it as Revain has the best price.
