OK. I guess it’s time to implement plan "B". I'm going build one from scratch. If there is anyone who owns a Carcano folding bayonet and would be willing to remove the latch button and associated parts and take a few close-up pictures and post them to this thread, I would be forever grateful. Thanks in advance, BB.

There are schematics on the internet. I've seen them. Try that first.

I've spent hours and hours over the last week or so searching the web for parts, pictures, or diagrams of the M38 folding bayonet. I've tried every different word combination I can think of and all I get is 20 or 30 pages of ebay, worthpoint, gunbroker and gunauction. I don't mean to whine but it’s been very frustrating. As I wrote at the beginning of this post I did run across a web site that had the catch I'm looking for, but at the time I wasn't looking for it. Life's a b***h and then you die......without the part you’re looking for I guess . I'll keep looking, but if someone could post some pictures that would be great. You don't happen to remember where you saw those schematics do you?

Just looking at your bayonet. It seems to me that you already have most of the information you need. Find a spring that fits, and all that's left is to deterine what the button looks like cosmetically. The shape of the catch is easy. Just measure the hole. Add a few thousandths clearance per side so it slides easily. File the retaining notch to fit by test fitting it to the rifle's underlug.
In high school I filed a lug to fit a bayonet. No powered equipment at all! Nor drawings. It's not pretty but it would work if I still had the bayonet. In actual fact I almost threw out that bit of Bubba work yesterday whilst reorganizing the reloading room. But I could do photos yet....

I tried to find them but didn't have any luck either. It was a few months ago that I ran across them when I was checking into a bayonet I was interested in.

I don't do IE and I don't allow my history to go longer than 5 days. Old computer can only hold so much data, already too slow as it is, it's a 2005 model.
