WTB U.S. WWII 57mm Unfired Projectiles

[Quest Master]

I'm looking for a few U.S. WWII dated 57mm unfired projectiles. If you have any for sale or know where I can find some, please PM or email me. Thanks, Van

I have some new in the shipping tube 57MM Drill Rounds, dated 1943. They are packed 2 each, in wood crates also dated 1943. These shells have unfired AP projo's in them that you could remove, or just leave together as a drill round for display because they look like live rounds. $125 each or 2 for $250 with the wood crate inlcuded.

Thanks,

Steve

Dan, they are 2 different kinds of projectiles. The all balck one is a solid Armor Piercing projectile, exactly like the drill cartridges I have. The other is a High Explosive round that is hollow and filled with TNT designed to explode on impact. They are both correct for the 57MM, just 2 different loads. I have one round that looks like your first picture with the windscreen on it, however it is all steel to the tip. Another variation. Need to get my book out to identify the nomenclature for each, but the A P rounds did not have a windscreen.

Hope you are doing well. Taking the M18 down to Albany this weekend for the full auto machine gun shoot and am going to live fire the main gun along with my live .50 . Gonna be a blast!! (Pun intended)
