Great find. Thanks for sharing. Yeah, re-sizing the pic would be nice so we can get a good look at it without having the scroll left and right.

Hi Guys
If I knew how to make them smaller I would, I have enough trouble loading pictures on. If anyone can doi it for me please do as Computers are not my thing.
Cheers

I am afraid it is not for sale as they are so rare in the UK due to it being a grenade launcher which is difficult to get deactivated and aproved by the proof house which this has been

Its the unobtanium enfieldius maximus.
Lee Enfield Mk2 (?) with grenade attachment. Getting one is hard enough, both together ? jeeze.

The only official name I can find in the list of changes is
Discharger, Grenade,Rifle: No1 Mk1 ( this is for the cup only)
As they were made up mainly by regimental armourers they do differ slightly and were known as 2 1/2 inch Smoke dischagers these were the ones bolted to the side of the vehicle, this is the type the Jawa blaster was made from.
The one I have is slightly different as it is known as a spigot type projector
Similar adaptions were made from P14/17 rifles ( often called wrongly Enfields in the USA a term first used when they were issued to WW1 American soldiers when Springfields were not available)
For more information I reccomend THE BRITISH SERVICE LEE by Ian Skennerton
Hope that helps
