Bayonet and hammer screw came today. 18" of bayonet make a total length of 75.5 inches. Standing 6"1" the rifle is taller than me - must have seemed giant to a 5"5"/150# soldier of the day. A lot of musket to carry around. A little awkward with the bayonet lug on the bottom as the bayonet mounts upside down versus the M55 or M61. I got the nipple off with some Kroil down the barrel, and tapping the original box-end nipple wrench with a hammer. Cleaned up well.
