Presumably on British stores, in which case ROF Bridgend, Cardiff. TimG

Hello rigby, the one you mention from A 050/1/482 dated 1980 is the normal, offical russian URG-N used also by the NVA. The one mentioned before is...

Regulation "A 050/1/482 Handgranaten, Beschreibung und Nutzung" of 1980 still contains the URG-N training hand grenade.

Hallo, as of 1980 there was only one real practice grenade, the URG-N. The fuse was just called "Übungszünder"(trainingfuse) in combination with a...

Perhaps this is what you are looking for. Is is from a post war RAF handbook, though.

Yours has a straight warhead, not tapered at the backside, and some other minor differences. Is yours an older or a newer type than mine Regards, DJH

The one with frag body could be called "Exerzierhandgranate F1 für Knallsätze"

I've got an HP Mills 23 III/36 body but don't know the maker. I do know that they also made bodies for the experimental Bellamy grenades as well.

Another great job Stefan. Richard

I have been told the QQ Mills is Qualcast because of the body shape. No idea why its been stamped twice.

Sorry I read your post wrong, if they are real MK2A1 bodies they should have the correct thread pattern for the M10 fuzes. If they have the larger...

Just a suggestion, do not rethread the bodies, if you do so you will just devalue them. People will think they are fake as well, because the fakes...

The last pictures are showing the finished primer screw, the complete fuze and the three tools made for this small project. :ciao:

the next four pictures show: -cutting of the workpiece -screwcutting a outside thread on the remaining metal bar as workpiece holder for the last...

the next three pictures show: -the setup of the template for the inner shape with the turning tool mounted upside down on the lathe tracer...

Now after all measurements being clear I started to make the templates. As I have a old engraving machine (pantograph) I decided to make larger...

First of all I want to explain some basics about the construction of many ammunition parts. The shape of most projectiles and fuzes is consisting of...

Update No. 1 - Cap production using templates As the title says instead of copying an original cap directly this time I will show a more advanced...

I don't have one. It was just a question. I thought the same thing. They are probably looking at the factory. The only variant I know is the 2*. ...

Perhaps try Rüstungsinformationsbüro in Austria. They may have something on Arges. Apparently the BND was interested in some of Arges' business...

May be someone mixed the fuze name with factory stamp. A picture would help.

Many thanks for the detailed information! Very interesting to know what type of bombs these tails were used on. The tails are nicely marked. Does...
