Alas even the Freddie Kruger of poats must come to an end. I do need to breath one bit of life back in with a question. Will shortened P1907 screws work on the scales? One of mine is short.

You should have one handy you can try out.
As for myself, I didn't buy hardly any bayonets in nearly a year. In the last month I've picked up a dozen. I need to stop watching ebay for a while.
I suppose shortened patt 07 screws will work but they're dimensionally totally wrong. But if you are short of a correct one/pair, PM me.
Finally got a couple of photos to upload. Plus one for my friend across the pond.
Did you try switching the screws?
That bayonet would be an ideal candidate for another refurbishment project for the forum. What about stripping it and scabbard, loosely assemble bayonet catch (less spring) and grip screws and let Brian at BDL bead blast, phosphate and paint to UK MoD spec. Can guarantee that it'll come back like new. It's the SMALL projects that get BIG results
Good thought Yep still short.Quote:

What ain't you sure about Lobo? Looks right to me. The acid test is to see that it fits onto a No5/L2A3. It certainly looks well worn, used and old - in a way that's difficult for the Indian repro machine to replicate. Although never say never!
