OKC Marine issue bayonet..basicall a heavy a partially serated 8" Bowie Kbar blade full tang and peened to the lock meachanism.Real strong and tough its a great bayonet..I think its the strongest yet since a the full tang M7...hate the M9..The USMC bayonet is way stronger and only around $30 more than M9.The Ontario knife store has them as it is Ontario made
 ontario knife store has great prices and carry the issue Marine combat or MK2 type knife.

I don't have one for my AR but I do have one for my AK only because it came with it.
If I run out of ammo in my AR, my Glock is coming out quick!!! |

My favorite is the M7B by Ontario knife company (OKC). It has the same blade as the old M7 (which is what is pictured above BTW) but with an updated grip. I don't know why, I just think it looks cool.

I've got a bunch of M7s floating around and a few M9s. M7s are cheap surplus items, I didn't pay much at all, I think I got them through DSGArms a few years back.

My USMC Marines OKC-3S bayonet on my USGI Colt M16A2 20" upper 
Various M7 bayonets from top to bottom; Israeli IDF Eikhorn Solingen, (2nd down is my same OKC-3S) Eikhorn Solingen (made in Germany), and Imperial Knife Company Top rifle is my same M16A2 upper and the carbine below is my 16" midlength gas system carbine 
My modified long handle M7 General Cutlery no longer made (bought it new in '05) on my 16" carbine gas system LMT upper I would recommend the OKC-3S USMC bayonet if you would like to get the strongest bayonet and the M7 if you want a compact, low cost and easy to find. Here's some info on M-16/ AR-15 bayonets. M7 bayonet In service: 1964 Blade length: 6.625" Overall length: 11.9" NSN # 1005-00-017-9701 Mfg: Bauer Ord. Corp. Carl Eickhorn Colt Colombus Milpar & Mfg. Conetta Mfg. Frazier Mfg. General Cutlery Imperial Knife M9 bayonet In service: 1984 to present Blade length: 7" Overall length: 12" NSN # 1095-01-227-1739 Mfg: Phrobis Buck Knives Lan-Cay Ontario Knife Company USMC OKC-3S Marines bayonet In service: 2003 (USMC only) Blade length: 8" Overall length: 13" NATO # 1095-01-521-6087 Mfg: Ontario Knife Company |

I tracked down a hybrid conetta mk2 kbar type that was made into a bayonet but its a rarity and im not gonna drop $500 on it but it has inspired me to start playin around with making my own.In any event Marine OKC bayonet or older M7 both full tang peened lock mechanism and strong.

Any model bayonet made for an M16 wont fit a 16" barrel the muzzle ring ends up behind the flash hider..no worries on a 14.5 barrel or 20 inch barrel.A 16.5 inch barrel is 2" too long for the muzzle ring of the bayonet to be right on the hiders shoulder.As long as you have 5 inches of barrel between the front of the FSB and beginning of the barrels threads any standard bayonet will fit a 16" midlegnth or 14.5 carbine and 20" full size it wont fit 16" carbine and 14.5 mid legnth

The rings are standard in size, so all US M16 bayonets are the same in terms of what they will fit. You don't mention what flash suppressor you have pinned, and they are not all the same size. |

One of the S&W ones (there are at least six combinations of finish and blade geometry). They are made in Taiwan, but seem pretty decent. I received it as a gift.

My father gave me an M7 right after I got my SP1, just before I left for Boot Camp. I carried that during my time as a Marine Infantryman, even though I was issued one. I also carried it every time I was posted with an M-16A2 as an Air Force Cop, including both trips to the sandbox. Only once was I ever asked (during my AF time) why I had a bayonet. My reply was simple, the Corps taught me how to use it! I still have it, and it stays in the case with my SP1. My father has one for his SP1, his HK-91, his M1 Carbine, and his M1 Garand. Every fighting rifle should have a bayonet!

If you're not going to change your barrel going with a long handle bayonet is one way, but there are two (or even more) ways. 
Long handle bayonet are kind of hard to find but here's an expensive Colt M7 modified long bayonet for slightly under $200. http://prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=a03 
You could use a bayonet lug barrel adapter available for M4 (0.750" OD) and LW (0.630 OD) barrels. http://mapartsinc.com/productsDetail.asp?id=478&img=680512343_wed%208%20010.jpg 
Bayo lug adapter shown at left side of pic. 
Here's how a standard bayonet looks like improperly mounted on a 16" carbine gas system barrel, this shows a Tacticool22 barrel bayonet adapter (sleeve) to prevent the bayonet from rattling http://www.tacticool22.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=12&products_id=42 The better way to avoid all these not so good solutions is to change your barrel to a 14.5" with permanently pinned extended flash suppressor or a 16" midlength gas system barrel. |

Obama shows his ass again, this time on the subject of Bayonets. The Corps sets him straight. As I said, every fighting rifle should have a bayonet, and every rifleman should learn to use it.
