    On the body is No.18009.
    Dimensions leng of the barrel 103mm complete 137mm
    inner diameter 50mm complete 59mm

    It isnĀ“t for the Mills or No.69 just tested, it is to small.

    Looks like some sort of grenade firing adapter and sight. Not familiar with this particular one though...although the form on the bottom of the adapter looks a lot like a bayonet mount for a No.4

    Maybe for 2" mortar round-illum or smoke perhaps?

    Looking in 'The Lee Enfield' by I Skennerton it looks like the 2.5 " grenade discharging cup no.3 mk1 but more roughly made especially the bayonet connector-are you sure the interior diameter is only 50mm?

    I found a refrence to the No4 grenade cup, but no photos. It appears the Energra grenade was used in Korea but this was launched from a spigot launcher.

    Maybe some sort of locally made launcher for gas grenade etc for police use-no.4 rifle saw service in many areas with many armies/police forces long after WW2-your launcher doesn't seem to be in the books but it exists!

    I think it might be the discharger cup for a tear gas grenade, possibly used in the early days in Northern Ireland, by the RUC

    Are there any proof or acceptance marks on it?
