M4 Bayonet question

**kikokat** · 12-10-2009 12:57 PM

I'd appreciate opinions regarding a Case M4 bayonet I'm looking at. Does the blade shape/configuration look correct? Top of the blade seems to be cut a bit different than my other M4s....at least from what the pics show.
Thanks for any input.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Kikokat- Looks good to me.If you're talking about the back-cut on the top edge of the blade. Most M4's and M3's are ground that way. Now, I have seen Utica M3's with the back-cut w/ less of a curve, which sometimes gets hung up when you put it in an M8 scabbard. SKIP

Thanks, Skip. That's what I was referring to. It seemed to have a bit more radical "cut" to the back cut on top than my others. I did wonder if perhaps the photo/lighting may have accentuated that look.
Appreciate your input.

Looks good. Square cut and no plastic spacers.

What is the blade length? That might let you know if it had been reground, then reparked.

Good question Jim. I'll have to find out.
Thanks!
