Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with hollow body and inert fuse. This mortar round cannot be converted to an explosive devise and is not available for export.
This is a hard to find WWII 1941-Dated M49A2 Deactivated Mortar Round, for the U.S. 60mm M2 Mortar. The M49A2 was a High explosive (HE) round, equipped with the point Detonating FUZE P.D. M52. It was an explosive shell used against infantry and other light area targets. It has a minimum range of 200 yards when fired without a boosting charge at a 70° angle and a maximum range of 2017 yards when fired with four boosting charges at a 45° angle.
This example is in very good condition, with original arsenal markings stamped into the mortar round body:
LOT 1103 1943. B.W. 60MM. M49A2
The exterior still has the original early war yellow paint, the standard color for "high explosive" ordnance, and is not painted on the central bands.
The fuze, which still has the aluminum arming cotter pin intact, screws off for inspecting the internal structure. The spring loaded top button still depresses, and it retains all of the original arsenal markings.
A great chance to pick up a scarce WWII dated deactivated mortar round!
