Numrich Damaged M5A1 bayonet.

[Prince Humperdink]

I took a chance on one of the M5A1 Damaged Bayonets from Numrich.With shipping it was$27.00(.55 cent donation to NRA).They are listed as bent or ground blades,and/or loose Hilt.This is what I got today....It is a refinished Milpar,DAS is a Ghost(can only see where it was in certain light),so I will say no DAS,Weak Markings from refinishing,and sharpened Blade that was reparked.The only problem was loose hilt.Here are Pics.....

Are these coming out of the CMP???

[Prince Humperdink]

No Steve...Numrich.

[Calif-Steve]

I guess you didn't understand the basic question. Has Numrich purchased these from the CMP? Odd that CMP has just imported multi-thousand and and now Numrich has them for sale.

[Prince Humperdink]

These bayonets came at the same time as all of the De-milled M1 bayonets.Numrich seems to find a lot of De-Milled M1 parts,and I'd always wondered if They came from Italy?All of the receiver halves that They sell are marked 7.62,which I think Italy did.Where They came from is anyone's Guess,but It would be neat to know.

"Neat to know". How true, how true. Inquiring minds...

Wow, glad to hear a success story from them. Numrich has been getting alot of bad press on other forums.

Yes the receivers and demilled op rods did come from Italy . I am not sure about the bayonets.
