Not illegal.... in fact you can buy em off the internet for about $20.
I have a few on my book shelf in my "war room"..... gave some to the local Army surplus store as well. |

Thats cool , Thanks for the information. I am always looking at the dummy grenades with holes in them but this is the first actual grenade hull i have seen with no hole but the one for the fuz in it. If he is there tommorow i may try to get it as long as he will come done a little

Yeah, that's what keeps me from filing for a stamp on one. I just want one, for a kickass 4th of July. But it's too much regulatory bullshit to deal with. I had a buddy that worked for a pyro company, back then I could have stored it in their magazine & thrown it in their emergency water reserve lake. (a 4th with them would have been fucking awesome, if they weren't always working on the 4th) But he's not there anymore.

Meh. Frag Grenades are NOT that cool for pyro factor.
Flash Bangs or a nine-banger are pretty cool though. Frag, nope. Just isn't that much fun going on. Not much of a flash, there is a bang, but, you don't wanna watch it cause that means there is frag coming your way. Cheers bro. Will |

From what I gather they are highly collectable. I, as you say, it has the frag matrix on the inside... I have seen them sell easily for $150 or more.
If it has the printed markings on the body, i.e. lot number and nomenclature and is in "mint condition" I have seen them for much more. ETA: yes, as far as I can gather they are legal to own... after all it's just metal with no explosive charge (COMP B in this case). So, good find for $25. If you don't want it... I'll make an offer on it and help you with your investment

Most of the people enamored with frags have never carried, thrown, or dealt with them at all. A well made salute is probably more fun. |

Someone here recently built a hand grenade - he didn't put the details on here but I gather he's using a binary filler, so he has to mix his explosive before using it - thus no magazine storage requirements.

I was following that one for awhile the way i understand it the mods wouldnt let him get to detailed for fear of encourageing someone to actually do it themselves but he did use some kind of filler that did not require the explosives license or magazine to store |

Yep. It was me. Got a form 1 frag grenade that uses binary filler and a prefragmented body of my own design. I need to finish the documentation of the build, but I'm pretty much the only kid on my block with a frag grenade. |

The only thing that is 'live' is the fuze assembly. But, I keep mine in a GSA security container in a locked room just to keep my twin toddlers out of it. |

my assumption is that he used a homemade blasting cap, probably a .308 casing packed with under .25 oz of primary explosive like black powder. and then surrounded it with binary, like the exploding targets, which are reactive to pressure, which were surrounded by bbs or something of the such. not saying that's what he did, but it sounds logical. totally illegal to do, unless you have a form 1. so don't do it!

I actually use a factory M228 training fuze assembly. They are out there.

Did you miss the post where Wingnut said he got a Form1? |

yeah, I saw it. it was my advice for the op. I followed that thread for an unbearably long time. I just know he couldn't post specifics to his build.
