I haven't seen one of those before. We had the standard ones for our grenades which had the egg shaped bottom. The US grenades had a flat bottom like a soup can and would fit the one shown. We had to hand deliver them. That one would work for WP grenades I would think, you want those long, far away...nice...

The WP I referred to was the No80 smoke...here's a pic stolen right from our instructional manual showing the ones I had to deal with.

The setback ring holds the spoon after the pin is pulled. Upon launch the acceleration forces and inertia are supposed to allow the ring to slide back and the spoon to release.

The galvanized hardware on the wooden case was a good idea.
“There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

I have a fundamental dislike of rifle grenades..
From long experience they seem to have an unerring ability to fall into the hands of the squad idiot!

Up to the section commander to keep that sorted out. Things do happen though.

That is pretty cool, never saw one before. I have one of the pineapple grenade launchers but it has been missing in action for a couple of months. It's here, somewhere, I just can't find it. Stupid thing hung from one of my rifle ceiling hooks for about three years. Now it isn't there, missing since the pandemic started as I purchased another rifle grenade and wanted to put them all together. Also missing a standard practice grenade, same situation.

As I remember, the rifle grenade launcher was issued to each squad leader (Sgt) or assistant squad leader
