What is this ?

Not mine and wondering what it's for exactly ~
It’s almost 7.5 inches high by 1.75 inches. The 120 CD1 marked cartridge, which is jammed into the body of the thing, is about 1.5 inches in diameter.

RR subcal device or a part thereof?

Tail(?) boom for a French 120mm mortar. Holds the propellant, drops off as it leaves the tube.

I want to change my guess to what US-Subs said.

I guess these could be reused, if not seems expensive - Popular with anyone nearby I might wonder ?

You guys are practically French, oui?

Hi,

I think it's more likely part of tail of a French 120mm PEPA-LP-ED mortar projectile from the 60s :
