I have an M1 icon

Garand with a date of manufacture around April 1942. Would it have been issued with the 16" M1905 bayonet?

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

More than likely. Prob'ly all that any of the end users would have had in thier system at that time , I would think , if they had any TO issue then. I believe they did not have enough to go around during this period .

Also, remember that in the Pacific theater the guys preferred 16" to 10" since the Japs had long bayonets.

Paul, good point. I vote 16" also.
