Original U.S. WWII Era 81mm Dummy / Training Practice (TP) Round - Inert

Original Item: Only One Available. Totally inert and demilitarized according to BATF guidelines with a solid body and the propellant charge removed. This mortar round cannot be converted to an explosive device and is not available for export.

This is a hard to find WWII Era M69 Training / Practice Cartridge, as used with the U.S. WWII issue 81mm Mortar Systems. This TP round also continued to be used during the Korean war, and into the Vietnam era. The M69 Training/Practice Cartridge (TP) weighs approximately 4.43 lbs (2.01 kg) and is composed of a shell with a cast iron body, inert filler, and detachable fin assembly used to train recruits in firing the M2 & M19 mortars. The cast iron body is reusable and the fin assembly can be replaced if damaged.

This example is in very good shape, with a great patina and intact fins which is a rarity in itself!

A great chance to pick up a very nice looking WWII era practice round!
