    Yes , Mostly A3s , but do do a Garand with WW2 M7 ( hense my restriction ) with the light weight WW2 AT dummys.
    Have a mid-production A3 with launcher , sights and pad. Have a solid M1icon stock that had the holes predrilled so I added the sights and pad . Usually just stick any ol grand in it and grab an M7 out of my collection of them. Also have a pile of dummy hand grenades and adaptors for them , but have not shot them because they are heavier. Also have a M1 carbine stock with sights and a pair of M8 launchers , but have not worked up the nerve to try them out.
    Took them out with some friends . Shot a bolt action .416 Rigby , a 9.3 X 74R double gun , and a Ruger No 1 in .375 H&H . The Grenades didn't seem to kick much after those rifles.
