No36 Mills bomb firing franken No4
Afternoon all,
Asking for a friend, these seem to be cropping up around the place at the moment, does anyone know anything about them?
Various No4 makers, cut down, fitted with a No5 butt and No36 cup, ishy type reinforcement cross bolt and wire bound...
My thoughts are Rhodesia or Pakistan. doesn't appear to be Indian, no RFI makings on them that you would expect if Indian converted..
Any thoughts guys?

Tear gas launcher ... Hmmm.
They are advised as Mills bomb launchers, is the tear gas cannister the same sort of dimensions?

Yes they do. It would about fit flush and then you pull pin and send it. It would only arm as the lever came clear...like the others did...

Perhaps Police rather than Army in one of those countries?
I love the way the dealer describes them as "they were used by the British
and Irish armies and navies. The British used them until the early 1960s, and the Irish had them until the 1980s."

The Indians still use them.

Yes I was about to say, that is a typical Indian Army REME trick, copper wire tightly bound to hold weaknesses together, and the proper NO 5 kit As below:
'Tonight my men and I have been through hell and back again, but the look on your faces when we let you out of the hall - we'd do it all again tomorrow.' Major Chris Keeble's words to Goose Green villagers on 29th May 1982 - 2 PARA

Indian Police issue Riot tear gas launcher then, perhaps modified by police armourers?
It doesn't look like an official RFI conversion, no typical Ishapore refinishing, re-marking etc
