AK rifle grenades

[Narcis]

Hi,
I'm not an ammo collector; those grenades are accessories in my AK collection. It seems that some members are showing interest in that matter.

See first: PGN 60 HEAT practice rifle grenade


YUGO AK rifle grenades:

Various types in the M60 serie:

Attachment 1420133

Attachment 1420134

Attachment 1420148

The exercise model with the related bag

Attachment 1420149

Each grenade contains in his tail the ballistic round to fire it


Yugo AK's are designed to fire rifle grenade:

Attachment 1420141

Gasvalve can be shut by raising the sight

Attachment 1420139

The buttplate is in rubber to absob the violent recoil

Attachment 1420140

And the cover and recoil spring are locked by a spring activated transversal pin

To fire a grenade:

Attachment 1420142

Remove the barrel nut

Attachment 1420144

Screw the spigot (grenade launcher)

Attachment 1420145

Raise the sight (to shut the gasvalve) and insert the rifle grenade

Attachment 1420146


You can fire a grenade from a AKS (folding stock) but only from the hip if you don't want to damage the stock:

Attachment 1420147

Yugoslavian Simonov's are working the same way.

Clones of the Yugo ak, like the Iraqi Tabuk, built under license, have no flip up grenade sight

Attachment 1420150

More to follow.
