when i was a 107mm mortar platoon leader at grafenwoehr BRD in ‘76 i had a 108mm round that would not fit down the tube. tried to turn it into eod and they asked if it was defective. i said it wouldn’t fit in the tube. they replied yes but is it defective? they would not take. the ammo point would not take it so we sent with with a batch of ammo for another mortar platoon to use. it could still be getting passed around.

Yes, if your paper work is absolutly, positivly, 100% correct you can draw anything from the ASP. But don’t ever, ever try to turn in anything but spent brass.

I maintain that a motar round that does not fit down the tube is defective. Case closed.

Confuseus say, “One who loads mortar shells in tube turned for end often end up without an end on either end.”
