SMLE grenade cup acquired, I'm a Grenadier!
Finally found a grenade launching cup for my 1916 BSA SMLE GL rifle. RFI made cup. Already had FN52 grenade blanks. Hopefully my range will allow it's use to throw tennis balls.

Cool.

Just remember that these are not intended to be fired from the shoulder, rather with the butt against the ground.

I'm very aware, thanks. A shoulder replacement is in my future even without doing that.

I wonder how it would handle potatoes...

That would be a hell of a self-defense news story. "Local resident shoots intruder with spud gun"
