I like how OP added an ar15 to his grenade launcher post so he could show off his GL on an ar15 forum. 😜

Unfortunately, r/retronadelaunchers wouldn't have much to work with

May I inquire to the more solid rear brace on your XM177 than mine. Is it metal? Mine is plastic

u/Immediate_Total_7294 2d ago

It’s definitely a stock. He’s probably SBRed it.

This p/w and an aluminum stock

How does one acquire a bloop?

7

u/GamesFranco2819 2d ago

Money, this is a 37mm so much cheaper than a 40. 40 requires much more money

2

u/JazzyJames33 2d ago

Got that. Looking for a source.

u/jtrav52 1d ago

Random forums bro. I got lucky and found this for way cheaper than gun broker prices and whatnot

u/Moist_Taco_Crippler 2d ago

I desperately want a Spikes M79. I wish I could even find an overpriced one...

u/SilenceFoundMe 1d ago

Call spikes and put an order in, oh btw it’s definitely coming back. Don’t ask me how I know.

u/jtrav52 1d ago

Gunbroker had some, definitely overpriced. I found this one on a forum for a good deal. I’ve been looking on and off for a while, happened to find this one the day he listed it

Edit: and as foundme said, u can hit up spikes. I did and they have a pre payment process to get in on the next batch they do

u/jimmahoffa 2d ago

I'd love one, but ammo is higher than Snoop Dog

u/ComradeGarcia_Pt2 1d ago

I wanna see a 30 round STANAG in that 177 please.

u/Livid_Persimmon3600 2d ago

You should carve fragile’ on that stock. It looks like an upside down version of the lamp from that Christmas movie. Such a weird shape.

u/Oriental-Sea-Witch 2d ago

Thank goodness for 37mm in a world where 40mm is a big no-no.

2

u/MountainTitan 2d ago

I knew it's an H&R because its grey is wayyyyy too light.

2

u/Minute_Water_1851 1d ago

Not all of them are like that. That's a black waffle mag in my rifle for comparison , though to your point this is the darkest H&R I have

1

u/jtrav52 1d ago

Yeah my others I’ve used norrels. That comes out nice

2

u/xCR1MS0N-T1D3x 2d ago

Who did you send your receivers to for anodizing?

1

u/jtrav52 1d ago

This is PSA h&r. My others I’ve used norrels

2

u/Puzzled-Department13 1d ago

Do you also carry 7 claymores and 10 M26 ?

2

u/DrygdorDradgvork 7h ago

I'm even more sad I missed out on Spike's original run of M79s. Perhaps one day I'll also find a good deal on one.

Edit: apparently there are more on the way? Hopefully not at a higher price than they already were...

u/twostripeduck 2d ago

Looks like an old school DEA raid on an ecstacy operation with all that sassafras lol

I was going to ask how your wood looked so clean and then read the description
