Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of an unused Israeli 81mm Mortar. The round is totally inert with a deactivated fuse, unable to be used as a destructive device. The paint is retained quite well with crisp clear markings that would be perfect for translation. The round is dated 1977 and comes complete with simulated charge rounds and canister.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

The U.S. (and Israeli) M2 60 mm mortar was licensed from French Brandt company to supplement the 81 mm M1 mortar and to provide a lighter-weight alternative to company-level fire support. The M2 was intended to bridge the gap between the 81 mm mortar and the hand grenade. Normally employed by the weapons platoon of a U.S. infantry company, the M2 is of the usual mortar pattern of the day. It consists of a smoothbore metal tube on a rectangular baseplate, supported by a simple bipod with the elevation and traverse mechanisms.

The firing pin was fixed in the base cap of the tube, and the bomb was fired automatically when it dropped down the barrel. Though classed as a light mortar, the M2 had considerable range compared to the 50 mm and 60 mm mortars of most other nations, and its fixed-firing pin design allowed a high rate of fire by trained crews.
