- What do you get when you mix the Lewis Machine & Tool M203 37mm Flare Launcher with a Brownells BRN16A1 Retro Rifle™? One badass clone of the U.S. military's M16 rifle / "Launcher, Grenade, 40mm, M203" combo - but ONLY if you install it correctly! Brownells Gun Tech Steve Ostrem shows us, step-by-step, how easy it is to install LMT's civilian-legal M203 clone and its accompanying handguard. The result? A remarkably authentic-looking replica of the classic M16A1 / M203 grenade launcher combo used by U.S. troops in every conflict since the Vietnam War.

Useless tacti-cool product... I can't wait to get one.
lol
You know that you can shoot buckshot and slugs out of the launcher legally if you register it as a destructive device right? It’s not useless.
Yeah ok it’s a “flare launcher”. Grandpa showing me how to put a destructive device on my AR! Love it.
37s arnt considered destructive devices. Not under the same rules as 40s
Learn your firearms before looking like a fool.
Since when was a 37mm a DD? 🤫
say hello to my little friend
I found the easier way to install the trigger guard is to disconnect the upper from the lower, place the trigger guard where it needs to be, push the whole upper back into place and push the take down pins into place. It prevents the steel guard from digging away at the aluminum lower.
That worked for me too.
"Say 'ello to my little flare launcher!"
Could have used this video 3 months ago haha, this made it look easy.
Yep, i was scouring the internet a few monthes ago. Figured it out after enough elbow grease and curses. Mounted on a BCM 20in A4 clone.
I bought a longer 37mm to 26mm flare adapter that didn't fit in mine, because of a ridge on the inside diameter. A shorter one did work.
I see a severe lack of beer and cigarettes in this video. Along with Fortunate Son playing in the background. He needs a flag bandana too.
1:46 OMG there is an easier way
Yes, trained armorer from the 1980s here. You just remove the lower receiver, same way that you would doing a normal field strip of the rifle. In fact you will have to do this any time you perform a basic field strip separating the upper and lower receivers to take out the bolt and clean the weapon.
Why install a flare launcher? Because grenade launchers are illegal 😔 #banthenfa
They are regulated just like Suppressor. They are Destructive Devices. I will have a 40 Mike Mike one day!!!!
no they are nfa items like sbr
200 tax and paperworks
but he grenades are also nfa and no one sells them so you can only shoot chalk
LMT actually sells a 40mm version fairly cheap
Yes because everyone should own an actual grenade launcher because you never know when a freaking juggernaut is gonna try and mug you
@@tallielintrasimpaccount to be completely fair, there's basically no other legal and handy anti-vehicle weapon. .50 cals struggle to take down vehicles in semi-automatic fire in a timely fashion, so there are probably some legitimate self defense uses for M433 HEDP.
Brownells should make just the handguard. They look super cool. But without a grenade launcher under it, it would burn your hands. Id love just the handguard. Can't afford to buy all the reloading equipment to go with the grenade launcher.
I always like to lower the trigger guard into position so it wont scratch things up
No safety wire on the mounting screws?
Looks like the upper handguard covers the screws, possibly preventing them from backing out. But I'd at least put some thread locker on there.
LMT does include the safety wire with the mounting kit. I would use that instead of thread lock to make removing the launcher a lot easier if needed.
This reminds me of The New Adventures of Dutch & Dillon
It’s about time tht7 someone went out of there way to place the launcher on a M16.
Why is the m203 discontinued?
Now the big question is do I want to set the M4 up with the launcher, or the M16? So hard to decide, ha. I do not have to decide right away since it is lower on my list of the retro line, but still need to decide eventually. Can not afford too have two launcher set-ups, haha.
In wright v u.s. the ATF declared these as active firearm launcher since they diy bubba modified these to fire ammo. The ATF made up charges for wright because they only had one actual charge and that was that wright was entrapped and constantly pressured by an undercover to buy a single cut receiver parts kit from gunbroker and not a legally required triple cut parts kit.
The ATF added the grenade launcher, a inert hollow rpg, and a disassembled m79 as illegally possessing a destructive device. They also made sure to freeze all of his assets so that he is not allowed a legal defense.
thank you Sir
Sasquatch told me the 40mm (airsoft) M203's are made exactly the same way with the only minute difference being the square firing pin being that can easily be rounded off will shoot flares also🤫
can this be mounted on a FN m4 collector series with the upper rail still on?
Yes
I thought this would be a fun add on. $1,300 is an awful lot of money though, even if i use a coupon! (-:
Thanks
I have a radical A.R. 15 with a 16 inch barrel and a 30 round capacity magazine please please give me a model number or please attach a link in here somewhere so I can get one of these if possible for my radical A.R. 15 with a 16 inch barrel and a 30 round capacity magazine Please please thank you!
was just looking at these yesterday. reading my mind. would love to get a sample to try out in action for my youtube channel.
Hello there,
Does anyone know where I can find the two inserts that go in between the barrel on the front mount?
I’ve looked everywhere, but I’m having trouble finding them.
Thanks for any help.
Sarco fiberglass inserts
Yes please...
I thought armorers in the 1980s used a metal wire at some point
Rzr2ffe wire was definitely used. I doubt there were any allen head bolts. I can’t remember. The wire is included with the M4 hand guard. www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/forend-amp-handguard-parts/handguards-amp-rails/m203-mounting-kit-w-leaf-sight-prod118454.aspx?avs%7cManufacturer_1=LEWIS%2bMACHINE%2bzzxzz%2bTOOL
Where do I get the 40mm variant? 3mm in the right place can make all the difference.
Pretty dam sexy, used to carry the identical rifle / 40 mm in the air force when I was a security police. Yeah i got to inspect one in a gun store once, it was 37mm and i had a sig 716 and this was a direct fit, they wanted 400 plus tax and it came with cases and projectiles for chalk marking, but since it was restricted to just non lethal and could not legally use buck shot in it I decided it to expensive at the time. The LMT model is really too expensive, their are other models and makers that are less expensive and will fit your rail.
Great
Great video. Any perspective on benefits of the LMT type vs rail-attached launchers, like the Havoc? Thanks!
You wanna play rough? OK
Say hello to my little friend!
What's the name of that hangaurd?
Shouldn’t installing an M203 grenade/flare launcher be easier on the M16A4/M4A1 with the quad rail handguards?
I think the Daniel Defense RIS II allows you to mount the launcher directly on the rails to free-float the barrel rather than using the mounting bracket.
Very nice but pricey
Does it work on a government barrel?
LMT lost their minds, $4000 LMT 37mm or $300 Spikes Tactical 37mm...
could I put one of these on my M16A4 build?
yeah, it just replaces the handguard
I heard that you can put a metal airsoft one on instead of this product. Is this true?
yes, you can.
Say hello to my little friend
How much would it weight altogether?
Ed P I’m guessing 8.5-9 lbs
Will this work on a ris II rail ? If anyone has information let me know
th-cam.com/video/FnBbX6nrs5M/w-d-xo.html
Regardless of the dementions of the tube the ris rail is designed for the m203 mount witch is what this is, just with a 37mm tube to drop in I already got the response for their q&a section and they confirmed it works
No.... you are wrong on soooo many things I didn't say this was the real m203 I said, if your reading comprehension is up to par, that the mounting solution for the RIS II rail is compatible. Im not really sure why I even bothered responding go to brownells and look at the q&a section someone already as the question I did and they not only said the risII would work they say the knights ras rail will as well
its awesome! then they stopped making them.....
On Todays episode! We teach customers how too add 5lbs of a useless product.
Useless? Oh no. Gold level tacticool. The only problem is shooting your flare into your bayonet and bipod, knocking off one of your flashlights and your tactical compass mount.
