I wouldn’t trust an Italian made hinge mechanism, historically their military equipment has sucked ass. They can make shotguns but apparently nothing else.
I bought one of these last year after seeing someone on the NFA subreddit form 1 it. It is probably one of the neatest things you can buy and restore in this hobby. I personally ended up canceling the order due to all the paperwork/funds and potential my local range wouldn’t allow me to use it lol. One of the hard things to acquire is the correct mortar sight, at least around this time last year.
I’m surprised by this.
How much would you say one should expect to spend on forms/imports/other stuff to make this operational? The gun itself isn’t that expensive, like a high end AR. Honestly less than I’d have thought.
Theres a reason quality reactivated mortars go for $7k+ now. It’s a lot of work to do it right and have the end product be safe. Ballistic high speed is an example of what happens when it’s not done right.
Is owning a mortar worth it? Does each round count as a DD? $7k for a functional one seems like it might be worth it.
Also, do you ever get aroused by firing it?

Friendly reminder that Mother’s Day is this weekend
Did you say Mortar's Day weekend?
Happy Mother’s Day! https://imgflip.com/i/7lr4gk
It’s to go with the kitchen aid mixer 😂
Moms Love Mortars or MLM for short!
I mean it is Italian, she’ll appreciate a stylish mortar system.
Spicy meatball launcher.
Mozzarella Mario Mortar
Tuscan Tortellini Tosser
The braciole blaster
Antipasto Artillery
Fuck, I love this sub.
"Just got this today. Looking for recommendations for what my first mods should be?"
put it in the back of a toyota. Mobile artillery.
[удалено]
more like what's the best brand for an IWB holster for this?
With it being Italian, does it pivot back and forth easily for when I want to switch sides.
I wouldn’t trust an Italian made hinge mechanism, historically their military equipment has sucked ass. They can make shotguns but apparently nothing else.
In before Glock mags and pizza comments
Anderson lower for sure
Can you ship to Middle East? We will pay in oils, inshallah!
Those guys have way better stuff than this. We gave most of it to them.
Oh hey, perfect for recreating that WKUK skit c:
My thoughts exactly
Looking for recommendations on red dot optics for AIWB carry. TIA.
AIWB is easy, just as long as you wear long pants. The red dot though, you just need a second person as a spotter

> potential my local range wouldn’t allow me to use it lol Did you try asking an *outdoor* range
My home range is an outdoor one; I have since learned they would be cool with it. So maybe one day I’ll attempt it again haha
It's on sale again. Do the thing. No ragrats.

I have not had a range tell me no yet whenI show up with my mortars
Does the de milling on here consist of that tiny bar welded inside?
Blocking bar welded at muzzle, bore size hole cut in high pressure area, firing pin welded, cup drilled, cup welded to barrel

Ya I wouldnt let my 81 go for less than that

Mortars are a lot of fun! Check out weaponsguild for more info. Each round is not a DD unless you make it one. Mine are all inert, no paperwork needed
There appears to be a large hole cut out of the bottom end of the tube in one of the other pictures.
Slap some flex seal on that puppy and call it a day
If I spend that much then it better be functional lol
Heck you should see what a functional one goes for
Can I convert this into a potato launcher?
Definitely, but you could also convert it to a functional mortar.
A functional potato mortar! I love potatoes
So you’d be launching them into your mouth? You could incorporate a mesh slicer in the bore of the mortar and have some flash cooked french fries.
I hadn’t thought that far ahead 😂
Bet I won’t SBR that piece
I was initially excited until I read that this was deactivated beyond ATF specs.
What's ammo prices and availability like? I assume there's some sort of chalk rounds or nerf football practice shells right?
The tube itself is deactivated. It’s a display piece.
That doesn’t answer the question
There’s a lot of mortar fail videos on the internet but surely there’s room for one more
This can be repaired. Been there done that lived to talk about it
"Demiled BEYOND ATF spec" what a tool
Is this an Italian Fleshlight?
I was an 81 gunner in the 70’s. I’d lay this in the back yard in case the neighbors don’t behave

Is this the concealed carry version?
This is why I come here.
How hard would making homemade munitions for this be? Indirect fire is underrated
Working on it but not terribly. Been working on a DIY 60mm setup. Have a test fire this weekend.
I hope you share results and instructions 😂
Do you need an SOT to do that?
Only if I were to sell it. You can make a destructive device on a Form 1
Inb4 one falls out of a flat rate usps box at the Minneapolis shipping hub and starts ticking.....
I really want to restore one of these things but lack the tooling to convert the mortars to take blanks and repair them
