Spoon is incorrect, not sure if the grenade is authentic, looks promising aside from the paint. The grenade is a repro. The serrations in the neck do not extend up to the fuze assembly.

917601 Posted April 29, 2022 Share #27 Posted April 29, 2022 Specifically, clarification, the neck has no serrations. Cheap China sand casting. Link to comment
Elliott R Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share #28 Posted April 30, 2022 wow, this post has 2 pages now. Y'all have some really cool adapters! Out of curiosity, what purpose did removing one prong have in the the 60s? did it make the adapter more aerodynamic? Link to comment
Siamundo Posted May 1, 2022 Share #29 Posted May 1, 2022 Were these grenade adapters used with the 'M-7 LAUNCHER M-1RIFLE" or was that something altogether different? Sorry if this is silly question but ordnance is not one of my primary collecting areas. Link to comment
ccyooper Posted May 1, 2022 Share #30 Posted May 1, 2022 Yes, they were used for all standard grenade launchers (22mm) used by the US (M1, M2, M7 thru A3, M8, and the retention adapter on the M16's) Link to comment
