57mm Recoilless

[orcutteod]

I finally found a 57mm HET22 projectile to go with my shell casing. I had a 57mm cannon projectile but the 57mm recoilless projectile is slightly smaller in diameter so the cannon round didn't fit right. The 57mm recoilless was used up to Vietnam. The projectiles are fairly hard to find the one I have is WWII era and shell casing Korean war era.

Your finding the fuze is the big prize. I ended up going with a resin replica for mine.

Absolutely. Maybe 20 years ago the projectiles were released as scrap by the US government, they flooded the market. You see them less often any more, but still as Slick says, 20:1 or better projos to fuzes available.
