Some pictures may assist :
Mine are not the best, but they are not too bad. I can think of lots of Enfields I'd rather have but instead of constantly striving for more, sometimes it's good to be satisfied with what one has...

Which part is marked with RIA/RFI, the base or the cup? Also pictures would help a lot.

That was my 1st thought, but then he says it's "longer than normal and has no side vent" for distance adjustment,

Is it perhaps an American VB launcher? Would be odd to have a 1942 date but possible I suppose.

I've been doing a bit of research and can find nothing useful.
I'm assuming RIA is Rock Island Arsenal, but can find no evidence that they manufactured parts or accessories for Lee Enfield Rifles
