C tip sling on Ebay

[Bill Ricca]

Little does he know that all those plastic handle M4 bayonets coming in the country "new in wrap" are fakes being made in Pakistan. They sell for around $35.00 each.

The wrapper shows an actual contract from the 1960's, which I have been able to isolate and identify. I will not go into the details of why they are fakes, but there are two reasons the bayonets and 3 reasons the contract are just not possible.

Thankfully whoever did the project did not know Army contracts or M4 Bayonets. Unfortunately purchasers are buying them all over the internet, thinking they are legit.

It had a gap between the plastic grip and pommel and hilt both, and barely engaged the end of the muzzle. It just didn't look "right" is why I tried it. I was not aware of the Pakistani bayonets, then, but that would explain it. I knew it would not be a government production one because it would never pass QC checks. I figured it for Chinese
