    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.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    And here's another. Brand new, unused, still in the hard wartime grease and the locking wing nut hasn't even been turned on the screw.....
