37mm launcher...Who will be first to offer it...?

stargazer · April 18, 2002, 23:05

Wonder who will be the first to offer the 37mm launcher adapted to the FAL? Anybody working on it out there? A Quick detach model would surely be nice for those situations in need of flares and such.

Now I realize it's not what you posted about (or was it, subliminally?), BUT....

WAC receivers set-up as break action, ala' m-79, 37mm launchers. No, it wouldn't really work, but damn, I gotta find a use for these things!

Add a couple of pounds to an already heavy MBR, plus another variety of ammo/ Not me! One or two of those German parachute flares packed in the side of the Alice takes up a lot less space, and don'tg weigh the gun down any. If it's that serious that ya gotta send up a flare, call for arty! or CAS!

Best,
Paul

It would be cool just to get the "bitch rifle" look of the L1a1s used some in 'Nam without the cost and hassle of an NFA weapon.

There is a company that makes mounts for the real M203s for FALs, Augs, etc. I had their web site but cannot find it now. They may be hard to get with them being a defense contractor and you know they will be $$$ but then you can mount a REAL 203! Which IMHO, is worth the money.

Watched "Red Scorpion" last night and I swear I saw an FAL with a 203 on it. Lots of FALs in there too.

There was a thread over in the marketplace about a possible group purchase of mounts someone is currently developing. $25-$30

I have been kicking around the idea of one of these for a "bitch gun" imposter. Have a barrel turned and chambered for 37mm but that is as far as I have gotten, got put on the back burner for a while. When I get the shop back on line I hope to pick this back up. If anybody has any good pics of the launcher used on these it would be great if they would share

hadn't really though of offering these for resale but if it works out I might be able to do a small run of them, it wouldn't happen before this summer though.
