M38A1-Josh Posted October 2, 2024 Report Share Posted October 2, 2024 (edited) SOLD I bought a new barrel for my 81mm mortar DD so I am listing the original barrel that came with the Bowman kit for sale. The asking price is $700 shipped OBO or I am open to trades for kits or ammo. Located in SW PA. You can see how I patched and used this barrel to launch mortars in this thread here: https://weaponsguild.com/forum/index.php?topic=94226.0 You will need an approved NFA form to attach this barrel to your functional mortar cup. The welded in barrel patch has worked for numerous firings using the light charge I worked up. I can offer no guarantee or promise it is safe to use. Buy at your own risk. I had intended to make a sleeve to go over the patch to provide additional strength if I was going to continue using it. I suggest you pursue this if you plan on using it because you can easily load a double charge by mistake when loading mortar shell blanks. The welds would need to be ground down and the barrel turned to a uniform OD in the patch area. I was going to make a 2 piece split sleeve to cover the patch, and then a shrink on sleeve would go over the split sleeve. This multiple piece design is needed because both ends of the barrel are larger than the patched area. You can't just slide on a shrink ring.
