I am intrigued and wish to sign up for your newsletter.

Re: PROJECT 203
Aren't these for sale for like 1800 bucks plus the tax stamp?

Re: PROJECT 203
Aren't the grenades themselves the DD's, and these don't need a tax stamp? And if the grenade IS the DD, is the casing the serialized part, meaning one could reload them?

Re: PROJECT 203
I think both are DDs. Dunno about the second question.

IIRC, the 37mm version only launches flares, so is not considered a DD. There may be other rounds available in that size, however.

Re: PROJECT 203
I've never seen live grenades offered for sale as DDs. If they were, they would come with a $200 tax stamp for every registered grenade round.
The launcher itself needs a $200 tax stamp as registered DD. They can be had for less than $2000.
40mm practice rounds (filled with chalk powder) can be had for about $15 per round. Not as cheap as .22, but I have rifles that shoot more expensive ammo. 40mm parachute flares and other non-DD items (such as smoke) can be had for more $$s.

I like grenades. If I had a choice between being able to buy FA or grenades, I'd pick grenades.
M386 (HE) for the M203 and M67 (frag) for all other problems.

Form 4 or Form 1?
Also, the NFA branch is shut down, I think.

Re: PROJECT 203
Twenty one days and three phone calls later, Brownells finally emailed me the $150 gift certificate which came as part of the launcher order. Now I can order the installation kit which will allow me to mount the launcher on my rifle.
Also, this came today: It is a sling swivel mount which attaches to the front sight post. The standard sling swivel must be removed when mounting the launcher. While doing research, I learned from this guy that the military issue Colt version costs twice as much and is identical to one sold by Rock River Arms, (If you can even find a Colt side mount swivel in stock anywhere). They charged me $21.60+10.00 shipping.
