MK 2 AP Mine United Kingdom

[jvollenberg]

Question ...

I am looking for images and measurements of the bounding portion of the MK 2 UK landmine.

Does anyone have one they can take part and provide this information, or have the information laying around?

We are updating the pub and would like to show the bounding portion of the mine as well as provide the measurements.

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,
the Dia. is 80 and the height 126mm. The weight of the body, depending on the conditition it is found in varies between 2470 gr (without the 2 bottom screws and without the HE fuze and without expl.) and 2830 gr for the complete body with the 2 fuzes and without expl.).
Regards,
bellifortis.

Joe,

At the risk of being pedantic, it is a 'Mine, Shrapnel, Mk.*'

Sorry, you are right. It should read Mk 2
