    here is something I found inside this box

    my photo shows a US military pyrotechnic box which I have had a very long time. Inside this box is a chemical adopter. Photos show the adopter. Are these common to find ?Attachment 111215Attachment 111216Attachment 111217

    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 ...

    I haven't seen one of those before. We had the standard ones for our grenades which had the egg shaped bottom. The US grenades had a flat bottom like a soup can and would fit the one shown. We had to hand deliver them. That one would work for WP grenades I would think, you want those long, far away...nice...

    That adapter should work grenades like the M7 CS gas grenade or the M18 series of smoke grenades, and possibly with the M15 WP grenade. The M1A2 adapter will work this the old Mk II pineapple and M26 style frag grenades and the M34 WP grenades.

    The WP I referred to was the No80 smoke...here's a pic stolen right from our instructional manual showing the ones I had to deal with.

    The setback ring holds the spoon after the pin is pulled. Upon launch the acceleration forces and inertia are supposed to allow the ring to slide back and the spoon to release.

    The galvanized hardware on the wooden case was a good idea.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    I have a fundamental dislike of rifle grenades..

    From long experience they seem to have an unerring ability to fall into the hands of the squad idiot!

    Up to the section commander to keep that sorted out. Things do happen though.

    That is pretty cool, never saw one before. I have one of the pineapple grenade launchers but it has been missing in action for a couple of months. It's here, somewhere, I just can't find it. Stupid thing hung from one of my rifle ceiling hooks for about three years. Now it isn't there, missing since the pandemic started as I purchased another rifle grenade and wanted to put them all together. Also missing a standard practice grenade, same situation.

    As I remember, the rifle grenade launcher was issued to each squad leader (Sgt) or assistant squad leader
