Thanks for all the replies and great info. I was mostly asking about the m-14's grenades for the M76 adapter, but all the other info is very interesting to, at least it is to me. I have a NOS M76, a grenade sight 'i forget the designation', and some grenade firing cartridges. I am planning on putting the sight on a pretty dinged up stock I have and getting a couple dummy/practice grenades to launch into a field, mostly just for fun, but I do want to get a few pics of the setup too. Seeing as fun and learning is my goal, I DO NOT want to get a dislocated shoulder or damage my rifle. If the stock is damaged that is ok because it is cheap to replace compared to my rifle, but if launching one is strong enough to splinter walnut, I have concerns for my complex shoulder joint as it is not solid walnut reinforced with steel. I do have a beater GI fiberglass stock too, is one type stock preferred to the other for the grenade launching? I was not even born till after Vietnam, but I do enjoy learning the history, and doing so 'hands-on' is always my preferred method to learn about mechanical things, but I prefer to learn safely, this is why I posted this thread. Thanks for the info guys. |
