This run is now open-ended, but it subject to close or adjustment without notice.


Hand-turned aluminium with brass "primer" and spring-loaded button.

The rim is scaled at SAMMI standards (.886" in diam, .08" thick) but the body is turned down to .790" -- thus it will chamber in any to-scale replica shotgun with a longer chamber (the more modern ones), and at least one brand of Airsoft replica (which have a slightly reduced scale). Of course, being soft aluminium I don't recommend doing a lot of speed-loading practice with them!

Now normalized at the lower price of $40 ea and can combine shipping; $6 for up to four grenades shipped to CONUS, or $25 (USPS flat rate) to most overseas markets.

Includes plastic cap; S-11/16 MOCAP trimmed to .740 long, sprayed to a brighter red (Krylon Red Pepper Fusion for Plastic® - | Krylon ) or -- your choice -- Rustoleum "plastic" in Sail Blue, Tamiya Color for Plastics in Olive Drab 2, or "Wierzbowski" yellow (Rustoleum Sun Yellow). All are finished with a 3/32" stripe in white vinyl.

For costume purposes, I can run them as a solid chunk of aluminium with a painted end and no separate cap (and of course no button) -- $30 ea for those slightly simpler ones, and same combined shipping applies.

I'm checking overseas shipping -- looks like USPS will let me do it in fixed-rate, but I need to go through the customs forms with them and see how it goes. Prelim estimate for Spain, for instance, is $24. Minus the $6 shipping I included in the base price, that would be $63 shipped to Spain. And I'd shave another ten for a pair.

1. The Schlitzie: 1 at $45. Paid, and delivered (April 11)

Looks like NZ falls within the same flat rate international I quoted above; $63.50 total for one, and because I can combine shipping, $98.50 for a pair.

See first post.

I've been using USPS flat rate boxes, which I believe will fit up to 4 grenades. Thus, $45 for one, and shipping is combined for multiples.

Awesome thanks. And sorry, how much if u were to send them to a US address?

I can ship 1 this week. I'm happy to go two, but that would be a new metal order and best I could manage is late next week. If either gobelas or darknight007316 give the go-ahead, though, I'll be ordering that metal anyhow and extending the run a wee bit.
