mk19 c3 & the practice l8a1 40mm rifle grenade

Well first of all the "Rifle Grenades" are for the shoulder launched grenade launcher like M79 or M203. They are a rubber body filled with florescent orange spotter powder that makes a cloud of orange when it impacts. Used for target practice.

They do not fit the description of grenade fired off the end of a rifle.

I would be very careful dealing with these people, as they don't know ordnance. Piat Mortar? Really?

In addition they are making up nonexistent rounds like painting a 60mm Illum green to turn it into an "HE" round that doesn't exist in that shape.

People that sell Ordnance and don't know anything about it are a menace and are dangerous.
 
The L8A1s are very overpriced they regulary come up for sale on specialist auctions for 5-10 EACH
if you type L8A1 in the search box you will find a few posts on bocn with them in
