Question:
Does a regular bayonet fit a 16" barrel, A2 flash hider and mid length gas/fore-stock? |

Quoted: If you have the FSB (or at least the bayonet lug) at the normal mid-length position, then yes. https://media.mwstatic.com/product-images/src/alt5/815/720611.jpg https://www.guntweaks.com/uploads/1/9/6/5/19655623/carbine-vs-midlength-orig_orig.jpg Carbine length gas block with bayo lug at mid-length position: https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/e0/2b/7d/db/58/d2b5ca33bd970f64a6301fa75ae2eb22_display_large.jpg View Quote |

Quoted: Cant put a bayonet on a gun with a can View Quote https://www.icollector.com/Rare-Experimental-U-S-Springfield-Model-1905-Bayonet-for-a-Maxim-Silencer-Equipped-Model-1903-Rifle_i15828014 TAB Episode 33: M1903 and Maxim Silencer (Skip to 6:40 for bayonet info.) After a couple mags through the can though, all you'd have to do is touch their face with it. |

I have a bayonet for almost every rifle that will accept one.
I need to get one for the K98 and the Arisaka. |

I'm not that comfortable with the clamp-on stuff out there, especially since use will involve impact against the thing. Also looks hideous, IMO. Overall, I think it turned out nice. They quoted me $75 to remove it from the FSB, clean it up, and drill and pin it to the barrel. Now I just need to order an OKC-3S bayonet to go with it. |

Had to California-ize it before putting the BCG in, though. Geissele 10.5" Mk16 completely covers the gas block while leaving enough of the journal exposed to attach the bayonet lug. |

Quoted: The Sarco reproductions look pretty good. Full tang, supposedly 440 stainless. Sharp. Grip screws are the Chicago type and a bit flimsy, they will get replaced. The muzzle ring is too tight and will need to be opened up a bit, but the latch works fine. Good for a cutdown project or functional non-collectible sticker. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/5205/94C6968A-B164-44DF-8A2E-5DE1E5EA4303-1365522.jpg View Quote Good to throw in the garbage, get a quality one, not some cheap import |

For self defense there's nothing a bayonet will do that a bullet won't do better. It also adds length to a rifle that makes it less manueverable in close quarters.
|
|
OK, I have to buy a bayonet now. Thinking an M9 is the right choice.
But, which one, and where to get it? |

View Quote I guess you missed the Point.. get it the point. Close quarters is exactly what a bayonet is for. You know like hand to hand combat. |

Bayonets are essential.
However, if you're using your bayonet ... "A bad day, just got worse." |

There has to be a 'bayonet for home defense' newsletter.

I would think the bayonet is only for situations where you faced multiple assailants and couldn't change mags before the last couple of assholes charged you.

If I have a rifle with a bayonet lug, then I also have a bayonet that goes with it.
No plans to use them clearing the house. The sight of a mounted bayonet would make a bold statement concerning one's determination to defend one's homestead however. |

View Quote Back when Uncle Sam's Retail Outlet was still in business, they occasionally had unissued surplus M9 bayonets made by Ontario Knife, at a price that wasn't too steep. Ontario Knife has new M9 bayonets on their website, and I've seen them listed on Amazon, but they are a bit expensive. |

Because of this thread, I've switched my home defense weapon from. MK18 Mod 0 to an M91-30.
Thanks arfcom! |

Ever since I got my 14.5 upper, I have this bayonet craze. I bought a bayonet for each rifle, and my mossberg 590a1 came with a bayonet.
Overall really love the bayonet set up. Yes, a bayonet will command a lot of attention. The military uses it during crowd control or prisoner escort and the reason so is exactly as described by the OP. They might bum rush a guard with a rifle thinking he might not shoot them, but with a bayonet attached it commands a lot of force because you can easily get stabbed by it if you get unruly. I remember reading something about this a long time ago. |

Haven't heard anybody mention the unlikelihood of collateral casualties due to your bayonet overpenetrating the target and/or going through walls.

Quoted: Thank fully, I went to Army Basic Training back in 1999, when everyone still got bayonet training. 3 days of bayonet and obstacle courses, complete with tons of blanks and practice grenades. I thought it was pathetic when they eliminated bayonet training. It was days of long training and really getting you into a combat spirit. I personally like having a bayonet, it says "even if I run out of ammo, I will still skewer you" View Quote |

Who is the arfcommer that built a rifle with a 26 or something inch barrel for his daughter and then she's got a sword Bayonet on the end of it so it's about 6 feet tall?

Now the only question remains.
Should my bayonet be serrated for the intruder's pleasure? |
