P14 grenade discharger cup adapter

**RRPG** · 06-22-2015 04:18 PM

Hi All

I am looking for any information on the P14 grenade discharger cup adapter, used to mount an SMLE cup to a P14 rifle. I have recovered a number from a British icon

army dump in the UK but can find little, if anything, about them. The net appears devoid of any information at all about this item, so I thought I'd see if any of you guys have any info on them!

Pics attached below.

Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I reckon that's a 'no' !

Sorry, never seen one before you posted the pictures. Do you have a P14 that you could mount one on to show how it works?

We had some at Warminster but that's closed now. We also had a couple where the grenade had exploded in the cup that I showed on the forum. Maybe someone could resurrect the photos that'll give more detail.

I'd assume it will be slipped over the front sight, and where the round hole in the discharger is, a screw will be inserted and this locks it to the front sight.

More generally spoken, I kind of didn't get what your question was or what you wanted to know.

Promo - I was hoping for a bit of history about the item, how many were made perhaps, and other general info. After searching the web for many hours, I found only one picture, and that is the one in the link rayg posted.

Seems to me to be a very unusual and rare item, given the complete lack of info on them!
