    Skennertonicon, The Lee Enfield, states that 35,000 No.5 projectors were made by two different manufacturers. I have found the manual to be harder to find and more expensive than the launcher or sight. The 15 page manual, dated 1945, issued April 1945 is titled:

    "Instruction book for the
    Projector, Grenade, No.5 Rifle, Mark 1
    Sight, Grenade Projector, No.4 and 5 Rifles Mark 1
    Pad, Shoulder, Rifle, Mark 1"

    Line drawings show the launcher with the No. 85 rifle grenade.
