BOCN Guess what it is

[exat808]

I think that Yoda has it here. Its actually my own Mk83 but without any other reference to size in the picture we could be going through the whole series of bombs.
This thread has the photos of the complete bomb - http://www.bocn.co.uk/vbforum/threads/84209-Todays-latest-acquisitions-(3)?p=213786#post213786

Over to you it is Yoda..

 

[Yodamaster]

Okay, it's coming !


Yoda

 

[EOD]

Yes, I also go for the MK80 series.

 

[EOD]

Yoda, that must be a Belgian M63 grenade (well the fuze cover of it).

 

[Yodamaster]

I'll accept this answer,
it's the cover of the M1Bg, M2Bg or M4Bg fuze wich equipped the M63Bg Grenade in his rifle grenade version.
The M2Bg fuze is also used with the M50 Smk WP grenade.

It's your time, EOD !

Strange, I had it filed as the M63, does that one not exist?

Will post the new image for ID in a few moments.

M63Bg is the grenade, same as M50Bg and M51Bg (TM | E-4-2-49).

The fuzes are M1Bg, M2Bg and M4Bg
