WWII M1A2 Grenade Projection Adapter
WWII M1A2 Grenade Projection Adapter. The M1 Grenade Projection Adapter was an adapter that allowed the M1903 Springfield or M1 Garand rifles to fire the standard Mk2 Hand Grenade (also lovingly known as pineapple grenades) as a rifle grenade. The M1A2 is an improved version of the M1 with a base cup, three prongs, slotted tailfins, and a reinforced tube. The M1A2 would have a grenade placed in the base cup with the spoon held underneath a holder. The end of the tube would be inserted onto a grenade launcher attached to a rifle which would then fire a high-power blank to launch the grenade and adapter. This adapter was produced in 1945 and has the lot number and model name on the tube. A dummy grenade is in the cup and displays the prong that holds the spoon. The adapter has some minor finish scratches on the screws securing the prongs. Very good condition.
