    I see the boot , but no sign of a launcher or a bag of grenades .
    Quick , reverse the negitive so we can see if the grenade launcher sight or mounting disc is there .

    Hummmm......I do belive I do see the buttplate . That would make it a cheek pad .
    Not a M1D . Could be a M1C sans scope ? Or just an M1icon with a pad ?
