They are part of Beaufort Naval Armorers.   They have been on our link list for along time.   I would like to see them sign on as a sponsor.

If you guys contact them be sure you tell you saw them on GBO.

 They're neat. I've fired mine more than any of my other mortars because I can use it in my yard. Sometimes I go nuts and double the charge to ~15 grains  :o

Wasn't there a whole group of members (along with El C & V 3) that had these little BNA mortars?
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.
