Original U.S. Cold War Era Inert 90mm M71 Training Practice Round - Dated 1957

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a wonderful example of the 90mm TP-T T M71 Training / Practice round. The round is completely inert and void of any explosive content and cannot be rendered live again. Measures approximately 37 1/2 inches long.

The round is in total compliance with the current BATF standards on inert ordnance and is not available for export.

This cartridge is for use in training in marksmanship. The cartridge is similar to and a ballistic match for the HE cartridge M71, except that the projectile is inert and assembled with a dummy fuse. The total length of the cartridge is approximately 37” tall and is extremely top heavy, so be mindful when displaying! All original markings and stampings are present and still easily read though the round itself was repainted.

Comes more than ready for further research and display.

90mm HE M71
The projectile consists of a hollow steel forging with a boat tailed base and a streamlined ogive, and may be either the normal fuze cavity or deep cavity type. It is loaded with 2.15 pounds of Comp B (1.68 pounds, deep cavity) or 2.15 pounds of TNT (1.6 pounds, deep cavity). Some earlier rounds are loaded with 50-50 amatol and a booster surround of a small amount of TNT. The supplementary charge consists of 0.3 pounds of TNT. Most deep cavity projectiles are assembled with supplementary charge, spacers, and closing plug; however, some rounds of earlier manufacture were assembled with supplementary charge and PD fuzes or unfused without supplementary charge but fitted with a closing plug.
