Available now is a New Old Stock (NOS) 60mm M5 Bipod Elevation Locking Ring, designed specifically for the M2 and M19 60mm mortars—two of the most iconic light infantry mortars used by U.S. forces from World War II through the Vietnam War. This genuine U.S. military surplus part is essential for accurate elevation control during firing and is a must-have for authentic restoration projects, collections, or museum displays.
Historical Background
The 60mm M2 Mortar was introduced during the 1930s as a highly mobile, lightweight indirect fire weapon for infantry units. It saw widespread service throughout World War II and the Korean War, praised for its simplicity, effectiveness, and portability. The M19 Mortar, an evolution of the M2, came into service in the late 1940s and featured an improved design, including a trigger fire mechanism.
Both the M2 and M19 relied on the M5 bipod assembly for stability and aiming adjustments. The bipod elevation locking ring, cataloged under FSN 1010-723-0002, is a critical component that locks the elevation setting securely, ensuring consistent fire control and improved accuracy in combat operations.
Because original parts for WWII, Korean War, and early Vietnam-era mortars are becoming increasingly rare, especially in new old stock condition, this locking ring is a valuable find for serious collectors and restoration specialists.
