Original Czechoslovakian Cold War INERT RPG-Šk-75 Training Launcher Original Items

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a totally inert non-firing BATF compliant “deactivated” single use Czechoslovakian RPG-Šk-75 schoolhouse training rocket launcher. These were designated for firing preparation, target aiming and triggering and contained no explosive or spotting charge. It measures 24 1/2 inches in overall length.

The RPG-75 is a portable, disposable, single-shot anti-tank weapon, developed in the 1970s in Czechoslovakia. It fires a 68 mm grenade (the projectile is not a rocket) with an effective range of 300 meters and maximum range of 1000 meters. It resembles the American M72 LAW rocket launcher. This RPG is recommended to be used on light tanks and armored tracked vehicles.

Versions

• RPG-75-TB: Improved version with thermobaric projectile, introduced in 2009.
• RPG-Nh-75: Designated for training ball firing. Identical with combat versions, only with inert projectiles.
• RPG-Cv-75: Designated for firing practice. Contains embedded 7.65 mm barrel – reusable.
• RPG-Šk-75: Designated for firing preparation, target aiming and triggering. Contains no explosive or spotting charge.

This example is in near mint condition and is complete with all original markings including Školní which means “school” and the rocket designation RPG-Šk-75. The trainer is almost complete but is unfortunately missing the end cap that goes over the front door and leaf sight. The rocket itself is “frozen” and we are currently unable to twist and extend the tube. This is a common issue with the trainers due to the inert immovable projectile inside. The “projectile” expands faster than the tube itself due to age. This rocket is marked with the date 1/83 and has been in storage since then. A quick and easy fix for this is to stick the whole assembly in a freezer for a few hours and then trying to rework it. We do not have the freezing capability necessary to try this and we do not want to damage the tube using tools on it.

Overall this is a beautiful example of the “Czechoslovakian LAW”, the Šk-75. Comes ready to display!
