So could anyone direct me to a place that sells preferably already made mortars (And i know about all the american suppliers but i am not willing to pay 100$ shipping for 3 3" mortars) If possible, somewhere in Europe.
Thanks

For the 7cm (7cm is OD) shell i will be using a 79mm mortar which has a clerance of 9mm which is somewhere around 3/8" and is equal to the shell that you can buy by skylighter, or anywhere else. So this is cool.
And for the 4" i will be using commercial plastic shells (3-3/4" OD), when dropped in the mortar they will have 7mm clerance (the mortar ID is 102mm).
I Think when i paste the shells and run quickmatch down the mortar it will be fine.

Don't skimp on the bungs in the bottom: the thickness ought to be approaching the tube ID if you're going to be firing anything serious e.g. cylinder shells.
I'm sorry, are you talking about end-plugs??

i am thinking of buying some pre plugged mortars from http://www.pyrogear.net/ and in the quote Steve stated that i may need an import license for these although i can't see why, i have emailed HMCE but in true government agency style they take forever to reply, does anyone have any information about this?
By the way just to update There is no import licence required for these and the customs and exciles code for them is 3926909790 in case anyone else was thinking of buying from here

So do we have to quote that number? Is the p&p reasonable? Are you buying quite a few? Do you know if they'll supply just one or two as I'm only looking for 2" 2.5" and 3" maybe a couple of each
Im thinking of buying 20 3" pre plugged tubes, but its going to cost me £100 inc p&p and thats with 4-6 weeks delivery i have enquired at several cardboard tube manufacturers to see if they turn out cheaper.
ill use this as a last resort if i have no luck elsewhere and as far as i know there is no minimum order.

You could try this place:
http://spfireworks.c...at=MORTAR TUBES
They are based in the UK and while I haven't bought from them; the guy I spoke to seemed really nice. Let us know how you get on.

Mike
