Russian PMD-6F Mine Questions

The mine has a glass bottle inside to hold explosive and fuse, see picture. The glass insert that holds the fuse slides into neck of bottle. What holds it from going completely inside? Was there a rubber ring or something to keep it from going all the way in bottle?

Also I am looking for a Russian MUV Fuse that goes with this mine. Does anyone know of any out there?Glass Mine.jpg
 
They used tar or something similar to hold it in place. I have one that still has this on it. Whatever the material is, it's black and looks like tar to me.

WW2 MUV fuzes are harder to find than I would expect, considering how many of them they must have made. I used to see them turn up on ebay from time to time, but for some reason they were often missing the pull/push pin that is need for this type of mine and had a replacement cotter pin instead. I'd like to pick up a couple complete WW2 MUVs myself. If anyone here has any sources for these, I would be interested.

Difficult to fined? Really??? :tinysmile_eyebrow_t :tinysmile_eyebrow_t:tinysmile_eyebrow_t
 
Yes, it sounds strange, but I have found it hard to find them complete with the original pin. I know there must be many of them out there.

Wow, that is a lot of pins! They look to me like the pull-type for the POMZ mines, but not the push-type for the PMD-6 mines.

I do want to find a couple of these, but I am glad that I do not find them in the ground when I do not want them. :)

For PMD mines was using both pins. And with T-pins no prolem too :)
