    2" Mortar end cap

    Thanks to the kindness of a member they have assisted me in completing one of my 2" H.E inert mortar rounds. (pics of completed round even date matches the mortar)
    It had been lanquishing for years with the end cap missing for the actuator cartridge to be honest I have trolled e bay for ages here and the 1-2 military fairs we have each year with no luck.
    I made mention if the member would be so kind as to keep an eye out for one as where they are situated they had a better chance to obtain one.
    So without further ado they had one in the mail to me and due to its size & cost informed me not to worry about the postage costs.
    Previously they had assisted with another part of my collection that was missing a piece all at cost price but also their time in obtaining it was not factored in.
    This is what it is about assisting each other as very few sites offer this depth of knowledge and assistance to the members.
    For some it may seem a trivial piece to the mortar round but to me it was always niggling at me as the other 2 had their end caps so now the 3 of them are complete (2xH.E 1xIlum)
    My deepest gratitude to the member involved they know who they are.

    Sorry for the pics (I-Phone) our Siamese cat (The Boss) pulled our good camera off the desk in my room it now has to be repaired before we go on our trip to Sing & VN.
