Any leads for an original or repro Hakim Bayo Scabbard & Frog needed?
Id be happy with a Swedish M1896 Bayonet Scabbard and Frog. In fact, Ive got a Swedish M1896 Bayonet with no scabbard so I could use two, one for the Haki and one for the Swedish M1896 Bayonet!
You may have to make do with a scabbard from something else if you can find something that fits.
ebay is out for the Hakim but here's a Swede: Swedish M1896 Mauser Bayonet Scabbard | eBay
Looks like someone ran over it with a truck however.
u may be right! On the up side, I realized that my Swedish M1896 Bayo had a scabbard, so I put it on my Hakim Bayo since Ive got a Hakim rifle and no Swedish rifle. I also found and ordered what appears to be pretty good repro frogs (2). So now...all I need is a Hakim Scabbard (I really dont want to break up the M1896 bayo and scabbard and I think I heard the Swedish Bayo is worth more than the Hakim.
I was at Jackson Armory today and wouldnt you know it but they sold me an original Sedish 1896 bayo frog for not much more than the repros go for!
Net result, need one scabbard and have two too many frogs...all in one day!!!!! Go figure!

LOL! Dang, when did THAT appear on line? Ive been searching all day! I placed an offer. I think I can fix it. I have some skills with metal and wood...well...anything mechanical! Electricity and software!?!? Demons and Gremlins... prove me wrong! ;-)
U DA MAN! (STEELER FAN and long time Pitt and Penn State fan here...but I went to Edinboro State Penniten...uh, I mean University! I still visit Pittsburgh from time to time!)
I just noticed it has no throat...Ill have to see what I can some up with. Lees Gun Parts may have a k98 throat or beat up scabbard I can canabalize. I owe Jeff a visit to pick up my set of Military Refield horizontal split 7/8" rings anyway. Pricey, but the damn things are like UNOBAINIUM, so cheap at any cost. Ive been waiting years to mount my M84 scope on my 1903A4 barreled receiver to make a Korean War sniper rifle!!!!Quote:
