M57 Rocket Launcher

Hi,

Before I start the job of fabricating something I wanted to ask whether anyone has a dummy / inert head for a M57 Rocket launcher? I figured there must be 1000's of these things produced(?) and just need to look in the right places??

Thanks in advance.

(Also any way to decipher the numbers stamped on the weapon?)
 
That's the subcaliber barrel. It has its own cartridge, but you can shoot ordinary 12ga cartridges from it for fun :)

Thank you for that information. There is nothing on the auction that indicates this is a training round that I could find anyway. The round does look like it has a barrel stub projecting from the nose cap but nothing else and I could not find any information when I Googled M57 launcher training round. Do you have a link to a site that has this information ?
Thanks,
Bill
 
Only M-57 is not rocket launcher, but grenade launcher. No rocket motor in projectile. And it is not fun to fire it....trust me!
 
Here are two pages from the SDPR catalogue.
