Tim over at the Military Arms Channel has a new upload about "new in the box" (factory refurbished) Yugo SKS rifles. Check out his video to see his Vintage Yugo SKS with the rifle grenade launcher on it. It is the "old style" launcher with the gas cutoff for using blanks or "launching cartridges" (NOT the same in power) to propel the grenade. It has the multi-ring set up much like the older WW2 US grenade launchers. You screw the grenade onto the launcher and the further on you screw it, the longer the range the rifle will launch it. Most launchers have 3 or 4 settings (identified by the number of "rings" or ridges on the launcher) but some have as many as 6 settings for launch range. Ian at Forgotten Weapons also has a good upload on the M1 Garand's WW2 Launcher.
