    Rifle Grenade Launchers

    Is it legal to own rifle grenade launchers in Canadaicon as I don't ever recall seeing any at Canadian shows?

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Yes, they're legal. They just fit a muzzle like a bayonet. They do appear at shows, just not often.

    I would say that you have struck oil with the No5 launcher. Rare as rocking horse manure as I understand it. Not quite as rare as the sight part but that is identical to the No4 one in any case

    The sad part about these pre-Energa sightless grenade launchers is that there were a load of these sights, still in thick grease wrapping in the back store at one of the big Command workshops when they were having a big clear-out prior to its closure. Bayonet bend box and thing for replacing the laces and chapes for the scabbards too!. It's called '....wise after the event!'
