Rifle grenades for the Finns?

[Rosollia]

Does anyone have info on the availability and quantity of rifle grenades for the Finns in WW2? As far as I know there were just a handful of Mauser K98k rifles with rifle grenade launching capability in Finnish use that were tested in 1943-1944.

A follow up question is did the Russians use rifle grenades? As I have understood it the Mosin Nagant rifles never had a rifle grenade launcher developed apart from some prototypes.

You should always try a quick Google first.
