Canadian C1 1957 bayonet scabbard

[Peter Laidler]

So far as I'm aware, any of the No5 scabbards will accept the bayonet. The trouble is that the mouthpiece spring can foul up on Australian bayonet profiles with rounded fullers as opposed to the flat based fullers of the UK types. But in short, any No5 scabbard should fit. Worldwide Arms in the UK have zillions for sale. If you get one that is an extremely tight fit for the bayonet, just adjust the mouthpiece spring tangs that slip into fuller grooves and retain the blade. If you mess it up, don't worry. I'll send you another

BAR, Q2 above. I don't understand about the screw holes being fragile. There's only one screw hole, the 6BA threaded hole for the screw that holds the mouthpiece and spring to the actual scabbard. Or have I missed something in my old age?

No Peter, one hole. You're quite right. We had a problem with Infantry(imagine) removing the screw to clean the scabbard inside. Then they would over tighten and strip. Camillus clasp knife screwdriver for the use of... Over to you lot with a weak excuse...That was all I meant. (Poor bloody infantry)
