Purple, this is not even remotely the same bayonet. This resembles the #5 bayonet and it has steel scales instead of the usual wood. Very odd model. The bayonet on t eh SMG is for close quarter combat because that's where your stoppages seem to occur. NOW, I also was issued the submachine gun C1 and it's not really the same as the Sterling other than the outer shape. The bolt was in two pieces instead of the Canadianicon having one piece. The trigger mech was better made and ours was rather cheap. The Sterling mags had rollers and were 32 round ours were stamped and only 30 so you had 4 rounds left in the box. They had better finish...Jump in anywhere here Capt Laidlericon.
