A couple of years ago I made a couple of M40 grenades in my lathe, and cast them out of resin in a silicon form. I was really habe with the results. But i want them to be funcional. Not to explode, but just be able to put the plunger.

Cut the old resin plunger. You should measure the diameter to use it later. it was 8,2mm in my grenades.

Remember the original plunger? Serves as a plug for the hole system.
