The reason I ask is I have a M1a1 that has all the mod's on it, I was thinking about removing the bayonet lug band and putting on a spare type 2 barrel band to make it look more like the ww2 era to display with some other items I have, the barrel on it has no dark area on it from where the bayonet lug was like most do. I know it will still have the adj. sight on it but I have seen pic's of the A1 with no bayonet lug, but with the adjust. sight in that era. ....or should I just leave it alone like it is ? what would you do, Thank's
