Wanted: 3" Mortar Parts

[Phillip]

With the restoration of the 3" Mortar Carrier coming along, so far I've found most of a 3" Mortar but I'm searching for the following parts:

- Lower Tube Band;
- Leather Cap;
- Ball end for the tube;
- Firing Pin (not essential but why nor).

Any assistance greatfully appreciated.

Some of the goodies you need for a 3-inch mortar can be found on my sales page. Its all drying up and I wish we still had even a quarter of the mortar gear we once had available.

Still have most of the variations of mortar firing pins and firing studs. Also the launching cartridge extractor tool with webbing frog. And one set remaining of the long carry harness slings for the barrel and base plate. The leather muzzle cover has the quick release setup used in conjunction with the barrel sling. Some items are listed in the weapons section and some with the webbing/equipment section.

Shot below is from the Imperial War Museum and shows the long-carry webbing for the 3-Inch mortar that I was referring to.

Hi, Do you just have the long strap with the loop in the end available on its own, I don't need the top half which straps to the barrel, I've attached one of your pics to show what I need.

Thanks Kevin.

Phillip, the gunner.net in the uk listed 3" mortar parts, they do the barrel bands, I've attached a pic but the one you want might be out of stock, I made mine as couldn't find one.

Thanks Kevin & David,

I'd already checked with Ian and he does not have the lower tube bands anymore. If I have to, I'll measure one up and make it.

Great photo - What does the harness for the bipod look like? Looks like it goes around the spike in the feet and then where?

Another of David's great photos, loops round the collar perhaps
