Have not seen any MK 82 or 83s but haver seen 1960's vintage 100 pound practice bombs for $200.00 and a SUU-30 CBU-17b cluster bomb canister listed for $450.00(outer case and fins no fuse or payload) hope that helps some. |

got a 100lb one already, never seen the big stuff except at some army navy stores and the owners wont sell them. I guess there are a lot of salvage places out west you can find some of the big ones at. I just need to get an idea on value. |

ok , its actually a MK 87 practice bomb. And I got it! yesterday I went and got it put it in the back of my truck , the tail end was sticking out the back. You should have seen all the looks I got. I could see people with their cell phones taking pictures. |

Congrats. finding one, since your first post been hunting around and you are right the few found, the owners have no intention of letting it go. Just out of curiosity did you get it from an person or find it at a storefront location? |

I got it from an army navy store, the owner had bought it 25 years ago and is getting close to retirement age and has been clearing out his decorative stuff. he still has a 1000lb practice bomb still in the metal cage it was shipped to him in. it standing up about 12 feet in the back of the store. I really wanted that one also but I have no place to put something that big right now and it weighs like 300lbs and you would need about 6 people to get it out of there. Maybe if he still has it in a couple of years and I move I will grab it. |
