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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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 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.

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. |

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. |

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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The bayonet adapters for 16” look ugly as hell. I have pondered cutting the tang under the grip, welding in a 1.5” extension, and making new scales that much longer. Talking about the M7 bayonet, not an M9. Same. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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" |

So my bayonet came in. No issues fitting at all. Shown below on my AR in its free State configuration with BCG removed. Also, while normally I'm not fond of the way featureless/ban-compliant guns look, it does amuse me somewhat that I can have a ban-compliant rifle with a large knife hanging off of the end of it, so pics in its featureless configuration as well (bayonet lugs are not a feature for purposes of our AWB). Ironically, that grip angle is better-suited to using the carbine as a pole arm.
