    Be sure to consult a picture closely -- there is a curved bevel at the rear and a incise cut on the front that will need to be duplicated. I'm imagining you have a Sporterized #5 that had its bayonet lug cut off but still has the base of the flash hider.

    Good Luck
    Well, i knew that the had those cuts, but its nore really something easily measured, i figured I'd just have to file that away to fit the bayonet. Unless someone has the engineering drawing just laying around... Are the reproduction bayonets any good as a plain old knife? I've had a slight change of heart with that. I might be happier with a knife a can use and not feel bad about breaking.

    I fitted one of the reproductions bayonets (~$60) from India, and the quality is pretty good.
