Victory Training Rifle 1942

As promised, photos with the bayonet and comparing the two models. The rifle on the top is the Navy model which is the more common of the two. It is also the more realistic of the two. Much of the Army version is simply painted wood where the Navy model has actual metal fittings.

The bayonet fits snugly. I did not force it on and did not leave it on long. Too concerned with it breaking. I still can't imagine who thought this bayonet was a good idea.

First time I've seen a set together. As for good ideas, they seem good at the time until they flesh out and then they don't work. Like this one...

I've never seen the bayonet actually mounted on the rifle, I've only seen a few examples of a complete bayonet. I'm sure the rifles served their purpose but not the bayonet.
