    Rifle Grenade Launchers

    Is it legal to own rifle grenade launchers in Canadaicon as I don't ever recall seeing any at Canadian shows?

    Yes, they're legal. They just fit a muzzle like a bayonet. They do appear at shows, just not often.

    Thanks for the info I recently bought a collection and found a couple in a box of odds and ends. after spending several evenings searching online I discovered one is for the No 4 MK1 and the other for the No 5 MK1 jungle carbine

    I would say that you have struck oil with the No5 launcher. Rare as rocking horse manure as I understand it. Not quite as rare as the sight part but that is identical to the No4 one in any case

    The sad part about these pre-Energa sightless grenade launchers is that there were a load of these sights, still in thick grease wrapping in the back store at one of the big Command workshops when they were having a big clear-out prior to its closure. Bayonet bend box and thing for replacing the laces and chapes for the scabbards too!. It's called '....wise after the event!'
