Mills refurb job.

In Oz, we went through a stage in the 90's where drill colour was gold. Some M30 grenades (normally Blue) were modified to become drill grenades (re-cockable empty fuze mechanism). They weren't that successful.. given as most of the grass in Oz is similar shade to gold..I have one somewhere and will pots when I get back to Oz sometime in Feb

There must be a cricket joke in there somewhere!

Same thing in Canada.... I have an M69 painted gold with "DUMMY" stamped in black. In the infantry we used fired M72 rocket launchers for training that had holes drilled into them and a gold band painted round the tube.
