Use. This device initiates a time blasting fuze in all weather conditions and under water. Description. The M60 igniter is a pull-type assembly consisting of three major subassemblies: a firing mechanism, a fuze holder and a primer base. The subassemblies are contained within an olive drab nylon tube. Once a length of time blasting fuze is inserted into the fuze holder cap, the safety cotter pin is removed. A 10 to 30 pound pull on the pull ring brings the spring-loaded firing pin back to the release washer, which spreads the firing pin’s jaws. This releases the firing pin from the knobbed end of the pull rod. Once released, the firing pin is driven by the compressed spring into the primer, which fires and ignites the end of the time blasting fuze. Length 4.75 inches Diameter .75 inches Filler primer mixture (in primer)

This is a reproduction item I am part the way through making, I still need to add the safety oin, sand down, paint and add the labels.
