    Red face M4 Bayonet question

    I'd appreciate opinions regarding a Case M4 bayonet I'm looking at. Does the blade shape/configuration look correct? Top of the blade seems to be cut a bit different than my other M4s....at least from what the pics show.
    Thanks for any input.

    M4 bayonet

    Kikokat- Looks good to me.If you're talking about the back-cut on the top edge of the blade. Most M4's and M3's are ground that way. Now, I have seen Utica M3's with the back-cut w/ less of a curve, which sometimes gets hung up when you put it in an M8 scabbard. SKIP

    Thanks, Skip. That's what I was referring to. It seemed to have a bit more radical "cut" to the back cut on top than my others. I did wonder if perhaps the photo/lighting may have accentuated that look.
    Appreciate your input.

    Looks good. Square cut and no plastic spacers.

    What is the blade length? That might let you know if it had been reground, then reparked.
