Ok I just got my M36 Mk I for a pattern. Now does anyone know where in Ontario I can source the material to make the rubber molds? And the casting resins. Hobby shops aren't what they used to be. Nor as many!

With luck I can make enough to fill my carriers holders. 6 I believe is the number.... correct? 2 beside the driver 2, behind the driver side bulkhead 2 behind the gunners side bulkhead?

If a transit case of 12 genades was stored on a carrier where would that have been?

I can save you a whole lot of work. My buddy makes the correct #36 grenades in resin. Hey come apart and have working internals and repo primers

When I get home tonight I will post up pictures and can put you in touch with him

No bias at all. They really are the best ones available. Nothing else has come close.

You are right, they are hard to beat! How do they go for weight?
