I have a quick question.
I have a rifle that I would like to be able to mount a bayonet on but the lugs have been ground off. Is it legal to add a bayonet lug to a rifle by welding one on? Or do I have to purchase a new front sight assembly? |

Quoted:
As long as it is legal to posses a firearm with bayonet lug in your state it is legal to weld them on ETA: Sorry don't know the laws of MT I would be confident enough the MT law would be the same. I highly doubt they (a very gun friendly state) drafted a statute that stopped a person from making a rifle capable of accepting a bayonet. |

Or do I have to purchase a new front sight assembly? Aside from your legality to do so (which seems fine for your state), what kind of rifle do you have - that will determine what you need to do in order to build up any extra "meat" to facilitate the proper bayonet. You asked if you'd have to buy a new front sight base. Do you have a milled receiver rifle? |

Its a WASAR10 the front site block is fine on a wasr-10, you simply need to re-weld the ears on the sides of the gas block. i've done several and w/ a little grinding and touch up they worked great. |
