Rob,

Thanks for the info.

At this mornings gun show I grabbed a box of ballistite .303, and fondled a MkI Enfield grenade launcher rifle. [ As a sidenote - is $250 CDN about right for these guns? ]

I have never seen the 28 ga. blanks - but I have never looked either. Thanks for the warning about taking the pellets out of the loaded ammo - I bet that you would only do that ONCE!

Does your little mortar 'drop fire' or does your firing mechanism still function? Mine is more than a litle rusty - but I expect that it is simple inside.

Thanks,


Stewart
