***SOLD*** 1980's Cobray CM203 37mm Barrel-Mounted Flare/Chalk/Smoke Shell Launcher w/ Box, Etc. * NOT RESTRICTED! *
Description: ****SOLD**** This is a very cool, late 1980's to early-1990's-manufacture, Cobray Model CM203 37mm Flare Launcher, complete with it's original factory box, an original U.S.G.I. M203 handguard, the factory cleaning brush, and 17 37mm casings for reloading. This model IS NOT RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY, nor does it require an FFL to ship. This launcher was designed to mount under a full-length AR-15 barrel/forend in the exact same manner as the U.S.G.I. M203 40mm launcher does, actually using the real M203-type handguard and mounts. The Cobray CM203 flare launcher is capable of shooting numerous kinds of really cool flares, fun chalk rounds, smoke shells, bean bags, and a whole host of other types of rounds. This vintage launcher looks really neat when mounted! Particularly cool and fitting when mounted on vintage AR-15 like an early Colt SP1 or a resto-build made to look like the original Vietnam-issue M16 / M16A1. This launcher would be so much fun shooting various types of starburst flares at night, lobbing chalk rounds with your buddies at a distant bullseye, shooting smoke shells to create a smokesreen or visually mark a point in the distance. That is the just the basic loads available for these, with numerous types of exotic loads available from a huge assortment of companies that specialize in 37mm rounds. This example is in very good condition inside and out, and is 100% functional. These did not come with the M203 handguard as standard, but this one does have the proper Cobray-supplied USGI M203 launcher AR-15/M-16 Handguard in the box with it, along with the factory poly-bristle bore brush. The barrel-mounts are the same model and style as the M203 type, quick release with cotter-pins securing the crossbolts that clamp everything together. This launcher is easy to remove and install. To load the launcher, a lever is depressed on the left side of the CM203, while the right hand slides the pump forward to open the launcher and load a round into the chamber. sliding the pump rearward, it locks closed into battery and cocks the firing mechanism. The launcher is fired by pulling the trigger, and there is AR-style safety lever on the left side of the trigger housing for safer-carry when a round is loaded into the device and locked. As mentioned earlier, the rounds for these are available and varied, and many are reloadable with just a couple hand tools. This Cobray CM203 comes with 17 plastic cartridge casings that can be reloaded. The condition of this beauty is very good, with all of the factory finishes still intact and it is all-original with no modifications, replacement parts, repairs, or major damage. The original finishes show some scattered minor wear and small dings/handling marks in spots, as well as some minor patches of very shallow pin-prick pitting from surface rust that was removed at some point. There are no eyesores or bad spots that detract any real appreciable amount from the overall-look of the launcher. All of the controls are in perfect working order, and there is no sloppiness from worn parts or ill-fitting repairs. This launcher has been used very little overall, and most of the deductions are from storage and handling/transport instead of actual use. Please look at the pictures provided in the listing to see ythe deductions described above, and to get a good look at the whole thing from multiple angles. If you have been looking for one of these to put the finishing touch on a resto AR-15 build constructed to look like a Vietnam-issue M16A1 with a barrel-mount M203 (the U.S. Military-issue launcher that this was designed-after), or maybe to recreate one of the countless examples used by a main character, or that was featured prominently, in numerous well-known movies and TV shows such as Tony Montana's "Little Friend" in Scarface, Chuck Norris Missing in Action, Robocop, Danny Glover in Predator 2, Death Wish 4,The Sum of All Fears, Fast Five, Green Zone, John Wick Volume 2, The A-Team, Black Hawk Down, Tears Of The Sun, etc., here is your chance to get a real vinatge example in great shape. Priced at $1295, this vintage Cobray CM203 Flare Launcher is several hundred dollars from what they have brought recently, and it is better in every respect than most of them as well! THIS FLARE LAUNCHER IS NOT RESTRICTED IN ANY WAY, AND EXEMPT FROM THE NFA OF 1968. IT CAN BE SHIPPED DIRECTLY TO YOUR HOME, NO FFL TRANSFER NEEDED!
