Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice original WWII inert M7A1 rocket for the U.S. WWII 2.36 inch M1 / M1A1 Bazooka. Normally, the 2.36" rocket consists of a head, a stabilizer tube and tail.

Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are not considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.

The inert rocket measures approximately 21 1/2 inches long and has been repainted OD green by a collector, with some replacement parts added to give it a real look. The tail fin is able to be unscrewed, and the head is also able to be unscrewed, which we don’t often see. There is tape attached in several places with a wire strung along some of the round, with a cork at the bottom as well. There are some dents on the cone and all the fins are present and mostly undamaged with some bending present as well as some oxidation. The M7A1 rocket is nearly identical to the M6A1 with the only difference being the lack of an explosive charge in the M7A1. The side of the rocket is stamped:

ROCKET, H.E., A.T. M
LOT FA-10-12 5-4

The M6A1 was the second projectile designed for the M1 and M1A1 bazooka family. The original M6 was notoriously unreliable, both with the launch and detonation. The M6A1 had improved fuze and ignition designs to help get rid of this problem. The rocket was eventually replaced with the round headed M6A3, which had a blunt head, which was intended to help prevent deflection off of armor.

A great display piece from the WWII Era!
