Over the years many people known as they have redered the bayonet as obsolete.They have been proven wrong, time and again. Better to have it and not need it and besides it isn't a true "evil" weapon without one.Bayonets are cool!

Every infantry officer or NCO with the CIB claims he led the [i]last bayonet charge[/i] in history. As long as they keep issuing the bayonet there will be lots more last charges. With no more horses, however, it's getting harder to claim leading the last cavalry charge. [;)] Infantry units fix bayonets regularily in combat. -- Chuck |

Quoted: I think something is wrong with mine. The loop goes over the flashider and rattles on the barrel. It just seems like it should be longer; or the front site post should be moved up an l inch. Is this common? I bought it from Bushmaster. Thats because the barrel is a 16" Bayo's only work properly on 20" or 14.5" barrels |
| I have never bothered getting the bayonet for any of my rifles, but I got a bayonet to stick on my mossberg 590 (with heatshield etc). I can actually sort of see a purpose. It would certainly discourage a guy rushing you to grab the shotgun in a fight (if the giant balls of buckshot tearing his head off didn't accomplish that). Turns a damn scary gun into a downright terrifying one. Excellent! |

[b] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- inkaybee: I just moved my Front sight base forward 1.5 inches on my 16inch preban bushmaster so that a bayonet would fit. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Are you serious [/b] I also did it so I could install a midlenght FF tube. I don't have any delusions of bayonet charges or anything like that but WTF its a preban, it can have a bayonet, and by God it does. |
