l54a1 81mm illum mortar few questions!

[Dparker91]

Hello there just got an 81mm ilum mortar, just though I would put up a few pictures also got a few questions.

Does anyone know where I can get a chute and the can?

Also having some trouble trying to separate the round in the centre anyone know any tricks to loosen it up?

Any help would be great thanks

It will take about five mins. Press each end and roll till half way round then repeat .it gets easier when more loose .just take your time.Darrol.

Your pictures are not showing up, photo bucket pics says update your account.....what am doing wrong to view them? I think I have one, and have wondered what may be inside.

Hello 917601
The original poster has not been on site since 2013.
Ref been unable to open the images,your not doing anything wrong,its one of the reasons we try to have people use the on site image host instead of off site ones such as photobucket etc because the images on photobucket etc get deleted or accounts get closed etc then the images are lost leaving empty spaces.

Hi,

I think your 81mm Illum (in the middle of your photo) is Belgian, but it will be similar to the British L54. The following photos show a sectioned version of the L54:
