The M536 Fuze for 40mm M397 HE

Inertord (Frank) was kind enough to recently loan me his M536 fuze for replication purposes. As many of you know, these items are nearly impossible for us here in the States to acquire, so the only answer for some of us is plastic molding. Here are some photos of the real fuze, with the replicated one with the real one on the bottom, and fragball attached:

Hey Grog,

Nice repro. The M536 is a cool fuze with the seperator charge to fire the ball back up into the air.

If you would like to add some authenticity to the internals of your fuze, drop me a note. I have some spare internal parts for it. Not enough to build a whole fuze, but a few bits and pieces.
