57mm recoilless projectile

I had mentioned earlier that I ha a 57mm projectile coming in, with no fuze and am debating whether or not to shell out the 30.00 for a repro fuze, that one member suggested it may be a less than desireable facsimile. Still of course would like to find an original, but in the interim decided to create this one of a kind (think i'm safe in that assumption. Waddaya think John. Nuk Nuk Nuk Nuk....Help...Dano

Dano,

Here is a photo of two projos, one with a repro fuze from "the guy".

If you think it is good enough, I have a spare one I would make you a better deal on.

John

57mm with lolipop top

Whoa Hazord, I think i'll either wait for a real one or have a go at it myself. Pardon my french but that repro SUCKS. Glad I waited for your post before I bit on that one, many thanx...Dano
 
Like I said Dano, the guy is a snake, and his repro fuze is crap. Glad we have the same view on things.
 
57mm projectile size

To give all a general idea of the size of the little 57mm recoilless projectile, I took an image of it next to a Vulcan 20mm round. I also added photo of partial belt of 20mm casings for the hell of it....Dano

souped up crappy repro fuze

Hi Rick, I am kind of partial to the 228, kind of reminds me of a one off shell I saw on specialist auctions. he he. Actually i'm going to buy the crappy repro fuze from HAZORD and do a little souping up on it to get it presentable. I'm not a picky guy. Ha. Dano (P.S., I sent your pkg off yesterday)
