M1A2 Grenade Adapter
The M1A2 adapter clamps onto a hand grenade and lets you fire it from a rifle instead of throwing it by hand, extending the range well beyond arm's reach. The spring-arm cradle grips the body of a fragmentation grenade, while the tube below slides over the muzzle to seat on the launcher. This is a reproduction built for collectors, reenactors and display, finished in OD green (olive drab, the standard matte Army service color) with yellow stencil markings in the wartime style.
Features
- Spring-Arm Grenade Cradle — The hinged steel arms close around a fragmentation grenade and hold it steady in the cup until launch.
- Safety-Lever Clip — A sprung clip near the top captures the grenade's spoon, the hinged lever that must stay seated until the grenade is away.
- Muzzle Sleeve Base — The slotted tube at the bottom slides over a rifle muzzle so the adapter sits square and secure.
- OD Green Finish — Matte olive drab paint matches the standard U.S. Army service color of the period.
- Yellow Stencil Markings — "ADAPTER GRENADE PROJECTION M1A2" and lot and date lines are printed in the original yellow stencil style.
- All-Steel Construction — Formed and riveted sheet steel with cross-head screws at the hinge points.
- Reproduction Build — Made as a reproduction for collectors and reenactors, not a live-fire munitions accessory.
- Display And Reenactment Use — Pairs with an inert grenade to complete a WWII or early postwar U.S. infantry loadout.
Build And Purpose
The original M1A2 was U.S. service equipment that turned a standard fragmentation grenade into a rifle-launched projectile. This reproduction copies that pattern in steel: the hinged cradle arms, the lever clip, the cup, and the slotted muzzle sleeve. It is sold as a display and reenactment piece. Shown with an inert Mk 2 "pineapple" grenade for scale, it rounds out a period U.S. infantry kit on a shelf, in a shadow box, or on the belt at an event.

Fun backyard launcherUsed this adapter on my rifle with the right blanks and sent some yellow tennis balls flying across the field. Super easy to spot where they land in the grass. Only small gripe is it takes a bit of force to get the grenade or ball seated on the prongs at first.
Launches tennis balls great
No issues with the spigot fit -
Fits perfectlyPicked this up to use with my M1A2 and some surplus MK2 practice grenades. Machining is clean, threads on smooth, and the 22mm spigot is dead on spec. Ran about 30 blanks through it at the range last weekend, no wobble or loosening. Way better than the old beat-up one I had from a gun show.

Perfect fit on my SKSGot this for my Yugo SKS and it fits with no wobble at all. Been using it to launch tennis balls in the backyard since real inert grenades are tough to track down. Works great for my WWII collection display too. Only thing is you gotta remember the special blanks or it wont fire right.

Works great for tennis ballsGot this for launching tennis balls out in the field and it does the job perfect. The 22mm NATO fit on my Yugo SKS was tight with zero wobble which I was worried about. I used the correct crimped end blanks not the red tip ones and it sent tennis balls flying easy 100+ feet down range. The three prongs hold the ball snug and the slotted tailfins look cool too. Only thing is you gotta make sure youre using the right blanks or it wont work right but thats not the adapters fault.
Solid fit on 22mm NATO muzzle devices
Built tough, feels like it will last forever
