106mm Recoilless rounds

[millector]

G'day,everyone.l am trying to find the dimension for a Vietnam era 106mm Recoilless rifle projectile as used in the US M40A1.Hoping to turn one out of wood as are very rare here in Australia.Length of nose ,position of driving band, overall length would be a great help.millector

There are 3 typical rounds issued, HEAT, HEP-T, and Flechette. Which one are you looking for info on?

Pictures of mine. I remember seeing a projectile without case somewhere recently. I almost bought it when this one came up for sale....I will try remember who had the single projectile for sale. Send me a reminder in a few days.

That's great,so what l would like to know is overall length of projectile ,where the driving band is positioned and withes,where the shoulder starts to nose tip.thanks

 

[HAZORD]

Actually, from a manufacturing point of view, the HEAT projectile above the case mouth is the easiest to make, because it has no rotating band, straight sides, and straight tapered ogive.
The HEP-T and Flechette both have Pre-engraved rotating bands and radiused ogives, and the Flechette has a nose fuze.

l'll try turning a HEP-T ,that looks pretty straight forward and then a HEAT round.Its just so l can have what looks like a complete round in my Vietnam war display

In all my time in the Australian army I only ever saw HEAT being used.

I've never seen that MDN11 HEAT before. It actually looks like the experimental WP projectile

Hello HAZORD
I put some more photos of MDN11 used by the navy infantry Spanish Infantry used by the Spanish Navy and also a 4.2 inch, M335 Illuminating.

 

[HAZORD]

Does anyone have an internal diagram of the MDN11?
