The LMT M203 launcher installed on the Brownells BRN-601 AR-15 Retro rifle. The folks at Lewis Machine and Tool have created an exact replica of the M203 grenade system, but with a few design tweaks to make it “street legal” so to speak. The original M203 was designed for attachment to an M16 rifle, but later versions like the M203A1 and M203A2 offered longer barrels, up to 12 inches, and the ability to mount to a standard M4 carbine. The M203 allowed any rifle-equipped soldier to have grenade capability for use when appropriate without losing a rifle in the team’s overall firepower.

The raison d’être of the M203 was that an average human really couldn’t carry a full M79 and ammo load, a rifle, and adequate ammunition supply, so that guy’s flexibility was limited.
If you will recall the resident platoon badass in old Vietnam war movies, the M79 is the launcher with a wooden buttstock he carried along with bandoliers of 40mm grenades. The M79 stand-alone grenade launcher actually predates the M203. Invented in 1969, it went into service in the early 1970s. The M203 Grenade Launcher is a love child of the Army’s Special Purpose Individual Weapon project. Let’s take a closer look at this little nugget of freedom on steroids.

That’s because it’s permanently modified to fire 37mm flares, smoke, signaling, and inert rounds rather than those 40mm high explosive grenades that most homeowners’ associations frown upon. Yes, it’s legal to own and requires no NFA paperwork or tax stamp, but be sure to check your state laws to make sure there are no issues. Enter the Lewis Machine and Tool Company M203 37mm Grenade Launcher. A little flash and bang so to speak, with emphasis on the bang part. A rifle like this is awesome, but we felt it needed a little authentic accessorizing to make it epic.
