Product Overview
This Restored Soviet 82-BM-41 Live-Fire Mortar Kit combines original military components with newly manufactured critical assemblies.
The kit includes an original Soviet baseplate and bipod that have been professionally restored. The receiver (cup) and barrel (tube) are newly manufactured. The completed kit preserves the distinctive appearance of the Model 1941 while providing a functional live-fire mortar system.
Historical Significance
The Soviet 82-BM-41 was introduced during World War II as an alternative to the earlier 82-BM-37. Its design focused on mobility and simplified wartime production while retaining similar ballistic performance.
Distinctive Model 1941 features included:
- Arched baseplate similar to those used with larger Soviet mortars
- Modified two-legged bipod
- Detachable transport wheels
- Axle points located near the bipod feet
The removable wheels made the mortar easier to move. They could be fitted for transport and removed before firing. Although the BM-41 was more convenient to transport, its design was less stable during firing and had a less favorable center of gravity than the BM-37.
The 82-BM-41 served during major Soviet campaigns of World War II, including the battles for Moscow, Stalingrad, and Kursk. Captured examples were designated 8.2 cm GrW 274/3(r) by German forces.
