Question time

#1 Post by redcat »

Can anyone identify this object and tell me if it has any value? The vertical "arm" folds down and is graduated in yards at 50,75,and 100.

Rifle grenade attachment. What model, not sure.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Thanks, Sim. Only marking I can see is 'MA' inside a circle.

Looks like a rifle grenade sight and mount - but I can't recall what rifle it would be for.

Beat me to it Simon!

No, not an SKS, I'm going to say an FN49.

I recall the Yugo SKS's had a grenade launcher that was activated by a switch that limits the gas to single shot and then allowed for blanks to be used to fire a 22mm NATO (despite being a communist country the grenade launcher is NATO rather than Soviet spec) from the rifle. In any event I've compared and it looks to be the M59/66 grenade launcher.

Some get removed when sold in california as despite being C&R firearms under US federal law the grenade launcher would still catch them under the state wide "Assault Weapons" Ban.

I think you might be right about it being from a SKS. This one is similar http://forums.gunboards.com/showthread. ... ke-a-Glove

Simon, I'll PM you later and give you a run down!
