Rocket and engine have been demilitarized for training purposes, and clearly stenciled INERT by the United States Military.

This particular Rocket is composed of an M-423 Fuze Assembly, a 2.75” High-Explosive FFAR warhead, and a Mark 66 Rocket Motor Assembly. Fuse is not marked but is noted as inert on the warhead. The MK66 Motor Assembly is still equipped with it’s original spring loaded stabilization fins. Weighs about 20 lbs and measures 48" in overall length with a 2.75" diameter.
The markings on the rocket and motor are extremely difficult to read. This is a mostly complete and wonderful example of a heavily used type of rocket used during the Vietnam War. The condition and paint is wonderful and is welcomed into any ordnance/Vietnam collections!
