Description
British SMLE Rifle Grenade Launcher – MKI Screw Clamp with MKIV Spigot, RFI Marked
Offered is an original SMLE rifle grenade launcher notable for its uncommon configuration: it pairs a MKI-style screw clamp with a MKIV-style spigot rather than the standard MKI cup or typical MKIV clamp. The unusual combination is of interest to collectors and armorers documenting period variation and field modifications.
This example is RFI marked — Rifle Factory Ishapore — the Indian arms manufacturer responsible for producing Lee-Enfield variants and other small arms for the Indian military and police. The RFI stamp confirms factory refurbishment or regional supply provenance.
Condition is consistent with service surplus: finish wear, light corrosion, and handling marks are present, but mounting and locking surfaces remain intact with no visible cracks or bends. Photos show the exact item offered.
Listed for historical, display, or non-operational collector use. Buyers must verify local regulations on surplus ordnance fittings before purchase or shipment.
