Hi all,
Looking for the following info:
Packaging detail for transport for the 4.2' mortars (chem) i.e 3 or four to a box? Weight of complete box a plus
Packaging detail for transport for the 5" U Rocket heads ( similiar to 30lb LC chem bombs which were 4 to a box) so is it the same? Weight of box again a plus.
cheers
Dave
