Does anyone have a link/seller that they can sharewith the rest of us for Dummy Grenades? Preferably the kind with the attached ribbons for identification?
Thanks!

Troopers, These are a big deal. The men we represent would load up on these as much as thry could carry whenever they could. These can mean the difference between a fully operational Machine Gun nest in a building, pinning down an advance, or the smoking remnants of an emplacement we walk past on our way to Berlin... This May at George AFB, these are going to come in very handy in many situations that we are likely to encounter. We won't be able to shoot around corners (for very real and legitimate safety concerns) but that doesn't mean we can't lob grenades around corners...

is this guy still selling these? I lost one of only two I had left at yesterday's battle. we need someone to start selling these. SOS has them but he wants like $25 per, which is too high.

Thanks, Randy. Where do you get the components? Do you actually use a smelt to liquefy ?

Tim is no longer selling rubber grenades, and when he was selling the I think they went for $20.00 Here you go $8.00 rubber grenades www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=30135I also like the idea of using a canvas streamer rather than the plastic tape which get trashed real quick.

I remember seeing those Dave. Great price @ $8, but they look a little strange with the vented fuze and spoon. But...for $8... The ones I plan to make will not have a spoon or pin. Need to experiment with how to mix the urethane and make the mold box. Found a store in N. Hollywood that sells all the stuff.
