| I have an M-4 configuration with 16" barrel. Will a bayonet fit on this rifle, despite the fact that a real M-4 has a 14.5" barrel? |
There is a bayonet available that has an extension on the handle so that it fits properly on a 16" barrel. The price will turn you off though, $69.95 from PreBanArms. PreBanArms |

AHA! Thanks, I've been looking for that puppy. Now if I could just find a bayo for my early preban Polytech AKS (takes the Type 1 bayo). I see they also have an adaptor for use with the Colt/Solingen M7 bayo which I happen to already have - so $29 for it. Gotta get one complete though since I have 2 carbines (or will whenever that 6920 finally comes in). Pretty dang smart of them actually. I had not noticed that the Colt Eichorn-Solingen M7s had an allen screw attached endpiece in their pommell. They replace that with the pommell extension and a new screw to give the length needed for proper bayo attachment with the 16" carbines. If the Bradies only knew what the REAL reason for bayos are :) Carbines (AR and AK) are too damn short to fit in the spaces in my gunsafe. A fixed bayo fixes that problem :) Earl |

I haven't gotten the 6920 yet...still should. I need to call tomorrow and see what the schedule is. Last I hard, should be another week or two. I did get my 6520 from Cascade Armory. Beautifull carbine. Posted pics of it in the "Show your Colt Thread" one or two threads above this one. Earl |
