Item Description
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 1943-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 M52B1. 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 - LF - 14 - 1943 - 60MM - M49A2
It also has additional markings stenciled on the outside, indicating that it is INERT LOADED and the fuse is marked EMPTY. There is a bit of rusting around the "fragmentation band", but otherwise the paint is retained very well. The fuze screws off for inspecting the internal structure, which has been filled with plaster to simulate a loaded round.
A great chance to pick up a scarce WWII dated deactivated mortar round!
