M52 Fuze for M49A2 60mm Rounds

Post by dantheman » Thu Mar 22, 2018 5:27 am

Looking to find 2-3 inert M52 60mm point detonating fuzes. I'm looking for originals or a replica, if such a thing exists, that has all the working parts. I know there are some cast resin ones out there but I am looking for ones with all the internal parts and safety wire. I don't care if they are the aluminum or bakelite versions.

Also, has anyone ever tried to make a replica of the increment bags? I'd like to make or find some for display/demonstration purposes.

Bump, still interested in fuzes/fuze parts and pictures of increment bags if anyone has made replicas of them. Thanks!

I have made reproduction increment charges for the 60mm mortar round based upon the information and photos in the Army Tech Manual. I have been selling them in a kit (main charge cartridge and 3 increment charges) that includes a inerted WWII dated cartridge (powder removed and replaced by a epoxied wooden dowel for strength, primer has been deactivated from inside cartridge with the anvil removed, cartridge appears unfired externally) for $30 plus shipping. PM me for further details, I can email photos.
