I just tested my Mark 5 Jungle Carbine bayonet today at the range. I not sure if it is a reproduction --- since it has no stamped letters or numbers on it --- It looks brand new...since I had to sharpen it. It also came with a new looking scabbard and frog.

I had the carbine on a pedestal rest, when I clicked on the bayonet. It fell completely off on the third shot. I clicked on the bayonet again --- and on the second shot --- It slid forward about 1/2", with the bayonet barrel ring partially obstructing the muzzle flash hider.

Realizing the danger...I packed the bayonet into my range bag.

Anybody else having the same problem with there Mark 5 bayonet? Any cure-alls for solving this problem --- other than wiring the bayonet to the barrel?


Thanks,

Erno
