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:







The exercise model with the related bag



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


Yugo AK's are designed to fire rifle grenade:



Gasvalve can be shut by raising the sight



The buttplate is in rubber to absob the violent recoil



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

To fire a grenade:



Remove the barrel nut



Screw the spigot (grenade launcher)



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




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



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

Fired with the AMD 65. The gun was designed for the firing of rifle grenades, but it can always be used normally as an assault gun:





Gasvalve can be shut



Folding stock spring mounted



Handgrip spring mounted



Recoil spring locks the cover



Permanent launcher on barrel (can be stripped)



And the sight



Sight in place



Gun in firing configuration



When folded, the butt blocks the handguard.
