Hello. I am looking to purchase a registered M-79 grenade launcher and have a few questions, maybe you could help me with them...?
What are the logistics of obtaining the high explosive rounds for this gun? 'Beehive' rounds?
I had occasion today to meet a man, who said he was a registered class II manufacturer, and asked him this same question. His response was that I would have to become a Class III dealer, purchase the HE rounds as if they would later be sold to an approved party, but retain and use them while the license is still valid. What is your take on this issue?
Thank you.
Tom
FWIW, I have searched this forum regarding 40mm grenades - in response to the notion of going Class II and manufacturing the grenades for personal use - the military rounds utilize the centripetal acceleration of the rotating round to arm the fuze on the projectile. Making that part itself, and making it good enough, would probably kill this idea for most people. Then again, that was probably the intent of the NFA to begin with... Thank you again.
