Affordable 60mm M2 Mortar Dummy Tube & Cup – Perfect for Budget Displays & Reenactments
If you're looking for a cost-effective 60mm M2 Mortar dummy tube for static display, this Budget 60mm M2 Mortar Dummy Barrel & Receiver is a great option. We did not manufacture this piece—it was originally built by an unknown company approximately 20 years ago. While it is not as accurate as our premium reproduction M2 60mm mortar display, this budget-friendly alternative offers solid authenticity at a lower cost.
Historical Significance
The M2 60mm mortar was a staple of U.S. infantry units in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, providing critical indirect fire support against enemy positions. Its lightweight yet powerful design allowed it to be deployed quickly and effectively in jungle warfare, urban combat, and open-field engagements.
While this budget-friendly display model is not an exact replica, it closely resembles the original M2 mortar and is suitable for display purposes, reenactments, or historical collections.
What to Expect from This Budget Model:
Inaccuracies (Compared to the Original M2 Mortar):
- Bore size is undersized at 57mm instead of 60mm
- Tube walls are thicker than the genuine M2 mortar
- Cup is welded 360° to the tube instead of using an authentic connection method
- No firing pin allowance
- Unusual notch milled on the side of the cup's ball
- Muzzle chamfer is incorrect
- No original-style markings on the cup
The Positives:
- Overall length matches the real M2 mortar
- Tube outside diameter is correct
- Cup exterior dimensions are mostly accurate
- All-steel construction for durability
- Compatible with standard M2 baseplates and M2/M5 bipod mounts
- Passes the "6-foot rule" for most reenactments and static displays
Optional Upgrades & Condition Notes:
- Each piece varies in paint condition—expect worn finishes and scratches.
- If you want a cleaner display piece, we offer bead-blasting and repainting for an additional $100 (please contact us after purchase to arrange this service).
- The unit pictured is a representative example—actual items may have slight variations in wear and finish.
