I was going to say we have a very different market here in Canada, and that prices are a lot cheaper on 2" mortar stuff. But then I looked at collectors source and realized they are nearing the same.
I got my 2" mortar a decade back, sold as live by Kearns and McMurchy in Alberta. They only ran $400, and rounds have never been more than $20 or so. I even got a bunch for free from a scrap yard. I still don't have the crate....seems like I always just miss them.
Derk Derin and I fired a round off in the front yard a bunch of years back. Much louder than I expected, and it flew so far we never did find it. Luckily it was just a run of the mill para round.
Someone will be getting a bargain, and a unique item to display in a carrier. If anyone has the transit crate for the mortar they want to part with, let me know.
