There are only a handful of these hand built replica’s as well, one of them being owned by Kevin Dockery, the author of “Weapons of the US Navy SEAL’s”. (HCMC) This is an exact replica of the originals, made from blueprints generated at great effort from the example in the Washington Navy Yard Museum, and brand new/never fired.
CHINA LAKE GRENADE LAUNCHER SERIAL NUMBER
Only 4 originals are KNOWN to exist, I have personally examined serial number 013 in the War Remnants Museum in Saigon. A very small number of these were handmade in the machine shop at China Lake Naval Weapons Station and sent to Vietnam. Weaponsman has also written up an in-depth report on the post.Ĭhina Lake Pump” 40mm Grenade Launcher as used by the US Navy SEAL’s in Vietnam. By the time this post is published, the item will probably have ended on Gunbroker, so the link might be broken. At the time of this post, the current bid on the launcher is $9,500 while the minimum bid is $9,525. The seller claims that this is one of the few reproductions in existence (even fewer originals exist). So too is each individual 40x46mm Low Velocity grenade, but the sale of those is not included. The receiver, stock, and pump are registered under a Title 1 firearm, while the barrel is registered as a destructive device. A seller on Gunbroker has recently posted a very peculiar and unique weapon system, a civilian legal 40mm reproduction of the China Lake pump action grenade launcher.
