Been collecting for a while, wondering if anyone else enjoys collecting inert grenades, mortar rounds, rifle rounds, etc.?

 

Here is my new addition a Soviet RG-42 cutaway grenade:

 

 

Also have original F1, RGD5, m24, m43, m39 (Nazi WW2 "Potato Masher") grenades.

 

Plus some RPG and LAW rounds, and inert launchers.

I inherited a few items from my grandpa. 1 grenade (the pineapple type) and I have 3 large bullets maybe mortar rounds. I have the brass (they are cracked) and I have the bullets? too, no powder but the primers are still live.

I had a grenade gear shift knob in one of my trucks. It was heavy and kept damaging the syncros in my trans, probably in my garage someplace. But it was real, De milled of course.

Somewhere (god knows where, I can;t keep track of things!) I have a little metal box (the ones life insurance companies used to give out) filled with live and inert items my great grandfather brought back from WW1. I think some heavy tracer rounds and some revolver rounds, and a few big shell casings.

 

Most of the stuff I buy comes from France, Germany, and Poland direct to the US. I always have the seller put a note I keep pre-typed in the box explaining how all items are inert/De-militarized and pose not risk to customs/postal workers, etc.

 

Would suck if a box opened in transit and some uneducated customs officer thinks it's live and shuts down a port over it, eek!

 

But I have had mines, grenades, mortar rounds, even RPG rounds shipped and opened by US customs with no problems, just need to keep it under $100 in value and for personal use only (no resale).

 

The LAW tubes are neat, scare the s*it out of people when they see it on the wall but inert and 100% legal, use to be $100 or under for a nice one now those tubes are $250-$400 online.

Heh.

Helium, it makes my voice funny

So not many on here collect these items?

 

I'm sure if they were LIVE and you could own them everyone would eye one or two up (yeah right not gonna happen lol)

OMG THAT GRENADE IS NOT INERT!!!

OMG THAT GRENADE IS NOT INERT!!!

 

I wish that were the case, I love shit that goes BOOM! lol

 

It's a hard filler, not sure what they used for building cutaway RG42's but I know first hand the good stuff is gone

 

The frag liner is present I got cut on the damn thing!
