ApplesauceBandit Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 @Conner Webb Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the sight in question is for a grenade launcher. roguetechie and That’s Suspicious 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roguetechie Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 It is indeed a rifle grenade sight. Not safe to use unless you have the gas cutoff hardware too though! Just because it has one in no way means it has the other. I use mine to launch DIY dummies and occasionally bust out the old adapter set that lets you launch army pineapples.

Donward Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Must have missed that one. Also, the YouTube link on your TFB article died. Sturgeon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 My favorite field expedient is the guy asking a tanker for the cleaning brush to his .50 cal machine gun. I'm sure that would have been a cinch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The value of these training films is always hit or miss but I was surprised - unless I missed it - that there was nothing about keeping the M-16's dust cover closed while on the march in order to keep out mud and debris.

roguetechie Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Heresy, I reach up and close the dust cover between shot strings... Because, well... OK I probably just have OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s Suspicious Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Thanks for the Info, I honestly didn't know if the AK series had rifle grenades, however seeing the SKS, I shouldn't have doubted it or thought otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the rifle grenade launchers as an example, they're actually the NATO standard (22mm diameter right guys) rifle grenade interface. That is why my handful of Israeli pattern practice grenades and my nearly ww2 vintage strap a pineapple grenade to a tail fin kit work. Additionally there's some divergent dimensions here and there in Yugo AK's that I've "heard" show at least some Chinese type 56 lineage rather than straight Warsaw pact pattern. I have a splitting headache so please forgive me for any egregious mistakes in this post. On the note of Yugo AK's and Zastava in particular, have you seen the switch barrel switch caliber bulged trunnion guns Zastava built for their Grendel experiments? Very very simple barrel change, and to my eye it looks like the key parts of the system prone to wearing out from repeated installation/removal are simple cheap robust and easily replaceable! In my world this is extremely exciting, and a little vexing because of just how ****ing easy making a switch bbl Ak turned out to be!!! Real WTF? Why didn't I think of this moment!
