Well, in any case, they seem to be off the civvie market. Is there a good alternative for a weather resistant, pull ring smoke grenade?

I think ALS is trying to work on making a different fuse so they can sell to civies.

Look for M18s at the gun shows. I used to get them in the 90s for about $25. I'm sure they still show up. Also used to be able to get great Canadian smokes for about $5 a pop, but you had to add a striker and spring & pin. They are weird looking "spoonless" sea-green things with a plastic twist off cap, same size as an M18. Tons of smoke, but they were HC so they weren't nice to play with without a mask.
Sucks they (ALS) went away. |

There's talk of changing the ignitor formulation. Hopefully these will come back on the market. |

Mike Aultman says if you have an Explosives license he will sell to you. Bangs and Gas are different though now. but Smoke he will sell to you IF you have an explosives license. The M201 fuse assembly contains a quantity of a particular chemistry that is an explosive now. Possession without the permits is a felony, (I don't make this up) The CANISTER is not regulated just the fuse assembly. a Friction pull ignitor or a time fuse could be used. PER BATFE any of these devices in private possession without a license should be turned over to the local EOD unit for disposal. Though they cannot guarantee no repurcusions locally. Just report them as "Found" I suppose... The License is not expensive. PER BATFE "To answer your questions below, the M201A1 igniters without any flash powder component (“fuze assembly” only) are low explosives subject to the licensing/permitting, recordkeeping and storage requirements under the Federal explosives laws and regulations. The igniters you showed me with flash powder components affixed (reloads for distraction devices) are both high explosives under the explosives laws and regulations and destructive devices under the National Firearms Act. When installed in the grenade hull, the classification remains high explosive/destructive device. A smoke grenade with the M201A1 igniter is a low explosive because of the igniter. The smoke component itself is typically not classified as an explosive by ATF (however, because there are probably many smoke formulations, anybody wishing for a determination on a particular product should send documentation to ATF). The net explosive weight of the M201A1 fuze/igniter should be obtained from the manufacturer." The License would be for a User/ Low Explosive, A copy would need to be sent to ALS to procure the devices. Aultman is a good dude. |
