Default Smoke Generator 4-in, No.3 Mk.1

Hello,

Does anybody have good pictures or drawings of the No.3 Mk.1 smoke launcher? I've haven't been able to find much information about them, there seems to be far more out there on the earlier launchers that use Enfield or Ross actions.

From the couple of photos I've been able to find... they appear to be a simple falling block action.

Thank you.

Good quality repro (resin, non-functional) 4in Smoke Generators are being made at the moment in the UK. If you are interested in any to display please send me a PM and I will give you the email address of the chap making them
