Hi,, I cleaned these up yesterday normal M24 freag sleeves,,, but the one on the left is a new one on me :neutral:

same size all over but has less frags and no clips to hold it on,, can anyonr shed any light od this one please ?
is there another grenade that this belongs to, it does have a few traces of black paint in the grooves if this helps,

Regards nick

Do they clip around grenade heads the same way as the early sleeves? This could be a later variation to simplify production of this complicated sleeve design? I don't know - just a guess.
 
Hi Reino,

The 4 on the right ar all BRB pressed type and have all of the normall bits,, the odd one is a real odd ball,, i bought it a while ago as an M24 sleeve but not really sure about it :(


Best Regards nick
p.s just got round to refurbing those fuses and using the wire you send me to re-make the wire pulls for them,, not in a hurry here :)
