    As to the recoiling barrel of the Johnson it only moves back about 3/8" and is very solid thereafter. The user would have to prod a little farther.
    In Canfield's book it is mentioned that MMJ saw a No4 bt on a promo trip to the UKicon and took the idea of the simple light "dagger bayonet" from that.
    A previous Johnson bt design was fixed to the fore end and supported by a dovetail at the muzzle.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    And reciprocate within that bayonet? That’s a clever idea. It’s the simple ideas that are the hardest to come up with!

    Nope....... it's got to be DMan69, page 1. The No7 bayonet. Supposed to be a jack of all trades but was the master of none. Total expensive crap

    Read it, the result was that I then re-read Hatcher's Book of the Garandicon. Reinforced my opinion that the article was either a joke, or the author is terminally stupid.

    Hahaha! Glad someone felt the same way I did.
    As I was reading it I kept thinking, “what’s going on here???”
