Looking for 40MM to 26.5MM adapters, but only finding 37MM to 26.5MM.

Does anyone know of any 40MM adapters still available/sold or if the 37MM will safely work to adapt a 40MM launcher to 26.5 for surplus flares/smoke etc?

Thanks

Be very careful with those smoke. Even shot at high angle they will hit the grass burning and start a 3 alarm field fire. Or so I've heard...

Video of a fire/blue smoke shot? I only have the red star and tripple red star. I think I had red rain before too.

I was in high school at the time. It was when these first started getting imported and were dort cheap. Think inlaid 25 or 30 bucks for a polish pistol launcher and got boxes of flares and smokes. Flares worked great but the smokes would land and still burn for a while. Ended up starting a brush fire that is not too common up here. Luckily no property damage occurred.  

I learned my lesson after that incident and another where I tried to smoke a squirrel out of a hole in a tree with a small smoke ball firework. Whole tree burnt down

If you shoot them straight up the will burn out mostly before they hit the ground.  If you shoot them so they are a ground marker, you have a real fire risk in dry grass or brush.  They are fun, but make sure it is wet outside.
