I'm sorry, I've never heard of a bayonet specific for the "AR18"... I think you'll be fine. The AR18 is same as the AR180, they interchange perfectly, I had an early Armalite.Quote:

Nice looking bayonet...
Do you understand why there are gaps between both ends of the handle on these bayonets? It seems to be common on all the M7's I've seen.Quote:

Good luck if you're going to jump at it. Set to snipe and be ready to pay. Historically one sold on Gunsamerica for $250 USD. One guy on Reddit said he sold his for $500 USD if you believe him.Quote:
