Do you have an M1 Garand? It can easily launch reproduction rifle grenades without permanent modifications. If you want to quickly dive into the world of launching projectiles from your M1, read on.
If you don’t have an M1, one way you can get one is from thecmp.org. Once you have your rifle, you will know it is capable of launching projectiles if it has a spring-loaded, cross style gas cylinder lock screw.
Then, you will need an M7 Grenade launcher. Finally, you will need a dummy projectile to launch. If you are really ambitious, you can attach an M15 Grenade Launcher Sight to your rifle stock (requires permanent modification).
Oh, and don’t forget the blanks. You need to source rifle launcher blanks. There are plenty of options to purchase .30-06 or .308 rifle blanks. I currently load my own blanks, I will talk about that in the near future.
That’s all it takes to launch reproduction rifle grenades from your M1. Depending on the strength of your rifle blanks and the angle of your launch, you can expect a projectile to travel from under 50 yards to well over 100 yards. I will cover more details in the near future.
The following video demonstrates how to install a launcher on the M1 Garand.
