Grenade (Smoke?) Discharger

[Sgt Brown]

Wish I had a photo to supply. As I said, I was at a gun show. I checked through your articles before I posted but I could find nothing like it.

Again, take a #1 and saw it off to about 8-10 inch barrel length then grind the stock and handguard down so the forend iron can be re-fitted. Attach the cup discharger to that just like a normal #1. No special fittings. No special sights. No wire reinforcement.

Oh yes. The butt socket was stamped as mfg in 1944. Do not believe there was an arsenal marking. Just King's crown and 1944.

Thanks,
Tom

It might have been on the old Jouster forum........

I remember a thread on somethig similar - it was a cut down Enfield with a 'cup', apparently (there was a picture posted) it was mounted on armoured vehicles (tanks) and a smoke cannister was fired via a 'pull string'. Only problem was you had to go 'outside' to reload it.

Am I dreaming ?

If it had a butt stock etc, any chance it could be a net gun for animal capture?
