    Accept it for what it is and move on. This is only the first step in the bayonet learning process, even that one should have some value, even if you can only exhibit it with the heading "Lesson Learned"!

    I hope you get your money back.

    Why a repro? Those don't do anything for value. Originals are easy to find.

    Honestly I am not sure, I have never tried it myself and I no longer own the M95 stutzen I owned.

    The logic behind the M95 bayonets with the front sight bladed added to them was they believed it changed the POI enough at short ranges to require the higher front sight to offset it. I would be very curious as to what the original zero for it with the bayonet would be.

    Yes nearly zero carbine parts and even less stutzen (0). All the cut downs should still be able to use long gun parts?

    The cut down M95/30s used mainly long gun parts in them. I suspect most long gun parts would fit the M95 stutzen you have without much issue, as evidence your rear sight is a long rifle sight.

    Yes the more research I do the more I know it is a cut down. Front sight on a band, rear sight etc. Problem is there is no barrel mark S. Very few Mark's period. Is it possible to have no barrel mark. Have not figured out about ammo size. Waiting on dummy rounds.

    Don't they normally refer to these "bobbed" bayonets as "trench knives"?
    Some do, some don't; some will, some won't; I might ...

    Any M95 bayonet will fit. It would be proper to have one with the sight on it but they are hard to find and quite a bit more expensive than the others. There are numerous variations including NCO versions that also command a premium but you should be able to find a regular standard bayonet for around $75 or so in near mint condition as these were refurbished after WWI along with the rifles.
