Default Enfield grenade cup

Hi

Can anyone help with dimensions of the Enfield grenade cup which fitted on the SMLE? They are as rare as hens teeth over here and I wanted to make one up for my reinforced SMLE.

Many thanks
James

Default email

Hi James: I can draft the cup out on paper with the measurements. Probably the best way to get it to you is to scan the drawing and email it to you. My email address is rob.mor@shaw.ca. Send me a quick email and I'll follow up from there. Cheers....Robert

Thumbs up Great Deal...

Hi David: Thanks for the insight. At that price, it wouldn't be worth it to try and make one. The only catch would be if they are able to ship internationally and whether there are any laws on either side of the pond for prohibiting the sale/shipping of these. I think James can do his homework by contacting them and checking out the UK laws. I will send James the back up plans and photos, just in case. Balls in your court James.....Robert
