Original U.S. Inert M11A1 Practice Anti-Tank Rifle Grenade with Possibly Experimental or Shop-Made Mortar Adapter

Item DescriptionOriginal Item. Only One Available. A rifle grenade is a grenade that uses a rifle-based launcher to permit a longer effective range than would be possible if the grenade were thrown by hand.The practice of projecting grenades with rifle-mounted launchers was first widely used during World War I and World War II and continues to the present, with the term 'rifle grenade' now encompassing many different types of payloads including high explosive, fragmentation, anti-tank warheads, concussion, smoke, incendiary, and flare missiles. Rifle grenades have largely been supplanted in the infantry fire support role by a combination of grenade launchers (typically affixed to rifles) and disposable anti-armor rockets.This practice grenade is completely inert and unable to be rendered live again and be used as an explosive device. This example is void of any explosive content and is in total compliance with the current BATF regulations on inert ordnance.Unloaded or dummy grenades, artillery shell casings, and similar devices, which are cut or drilled in an BATF-approved manner so that they cannot be used as ammunition components for destructive devices, are NOT considered NFA weapons. This example is in total compliance and is totally inert. NOT AVAILABLE FOR EXPORT.This is a very interesting variation of the M11A1 Practice Anti-Tank rifle grenade. It is marked on the body with markings:GRADE, A.T., PRACTICE, M11A1B.M.C. LOTThis would normally have a tail assembly, but this example has an interesting period mortar style adapter, made up of three pieces.
