the 37mm attatches via a clamp on the the barrel up front and then locks into the delta ring.



the clamp up front has spacers that go inbetween the metal strap and the barrel imo the spacers would not have a big enough i.d. for the wulf bbl.

you would have to make your own spacers, that being said there is also nothing to keep it from sliding forward.

not sure how the rifle version mounts on the 20" but i had the carbine one and it helped to have the "m4" steps on the barrel.




imho just get a flare gun. the added weight and hassle of mounting would not be worth it.

Here's what I did with my launcher...

I took it to a qualified metal-smith and had him make a Picatinny mount for my 37mm.  
RRA AR15 w/ Picatinny mounted 37mm

As a matter of fact, I was the knucklehead that also mounted it to my AR15 Pistol.

If you get mid-length picatinny handguards (i.e. Yankee Hill), it will work on your Beowulf.

I had it set low on purpose so I can accomadate the bayo...   why?  Just because I wanted to.

I don't have the info on at the moment... I leave for work in a few minutes.  He's based in Hudson, FL.  I'll send the info later this evening.

He had a website, but it's down... reasons unknown.

Just tell him that Jesse recommended you to him, and ask him about the how he mod my 37mm... he'll know what you're talking about.  

He'll make some special mods to your 37mm launcher to make it Picatinny friendly.  It may not be pretty, but it was made to get the job done and he does a good job on doing it.  I'm very happy with my mod, and it's solid too, with no play.  I had mine attached with thumbscrews.
