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.
