Restore or maintain your metric-threaded European mortar system with this New Made 60mm Metric Firing Pin for the Yugoslavian M57 and French Brandt Mle 1935 mortars. Precision machined from pre-hardened 4140 chrome-moly steel, this firing pin is designed to replicate the function and fitment characteristics of the original military-issued components while offering the strength and durability expected from modern manufacturing methods.
Designed specifically for metric-threaded mortar cups, this firing pin has been fitment-tested with Yugoslavian 60mm M57 mortar cups to ensure proper compatibility and dependable operation. These firing pins are also believed to be compatible with French Brandt Mle-1935 mortar cups due to the shared metric-threaded design lineage of these systems.
Please note: Mortar cups shown in photographs are for reference only and are not included with the firing pin.
Historical Significance
The French Brandt Mle 1935 mortar system became one of the most influential mortar designs of the 20th century, serving as the basis for numerous mortar systems adopted worldwide before, during, and after World War II. Its lightweight construction, reliability, and effective indirect fire capability established the standard for many later infantry mortar designs.
The Yugoslavian M57 mortar was heavily inspired by the Brandt system and continued the proven European mortar design philosophy into the Cold War era. The M57 remained in military service for decades and continues to be recognized for its rugged construction and battlefield reliability.
At the center of these mortar systems is the firing pin assembly, a critical component responsible for initiating the ignition charge that launches the mortar projectile. Properly manufactured firing pins are essential for safe operation, reliable ignition, and long-term system durability.
Superior Craftsmanship
Our New Made 60mm Metric Firing Pins are manufactured using modern CNC machining processes from pre-hardened 4140 chrome-moly steel, a high-strength alloy selected for its excellent wear resistance, toughness, and long service life under repeated firing conditions.
Each firing pin is fitment-tested using original Yugoslavian M57 mortar cups to help ensure reliable installation and proper thread engagement. The result is a high-quality replacement component suitable for restoration projects, maintenance, or legally registered live-fire mortar systems.
These firing pins are specifically intended for metric-threaded mortar cups and are not compatible with U.S. M2 mortar cups. Attempting to install them into U.S. M2 cups will damage the internal threads. We do not believe these firing pins are compatible with the Chinese Type 31 mortar.
