British heat engine (mortar) restoration
« on: August 03, 2009, 11:43:22 PM »
thought I would post a pic of a 2" bore Brit mortar I restored last year to live fire condition since technicaly it is a non reciprocating heat engine .

Work only began after receiving my approved tax stamp from BATFE to reactivate as a live fire destructive device .  This one is a real blast to fire , not quite the range of the 60mm US mortar but very portable. I still need to paint the tube and the aiming strip .
