Attachment 30329Attachment 30330You have stolen my rationalization. Or perhaps I yours. Aquired a model 38 Arisaka and Enfield No1 MkIII*sans bayonets. Nice rifles I thought were a bit incomplete without a pointy end and this was the result (with a few odds and ends too keep them company).Quote:

I’ve also picked up a couple M9 bayonets since I last posted, a 4th generation Phrobis III and a current issue Lan-Cay. I’ll post pictures when I get a chance later…

this was before i decided to narrow and concentrate on two distinct areas , and admit i was a collector
Always good quality these Swiss Army bayonets. You can actually use the Pioneer bayonet as a saw. It's flat on one side of the blade. Sometimes you find a Swiss bayonet is chromed. It helps to stop them going rusty. It's an official unofficial modification! If you see a nice Swiss bayonet for a fair price, buy it you will not regret it. Short of funds try to get a Sig 55. £15-£25. It's a smaller version of the M1918.
yes , that one was sharp , and perfectly capable of felling a tree ,
in hind sight i bought these to fit the rifles i had traded for , i bought some of my rifles to fit the bayonet i just seemed to have to buy , and i bought a couple bayonets because i found a great rifle ,
here is one i bought because i found a great rifle -

but i narrowed my focus in the last year and sold off/traded off/gifted the majority of my US rifles , i cannot yet bare to part with the pointy bits and my US handguns ,
I do not know about you guys but I have to tag each bayo and sheath so that I remember what they are and what rifle they go on.
I use the small round key tags with string for that purpose.Quote:
