this is what OP's talking about.   theres not much too it, you could make your own from a bayonet using a angle grinder / sawsall. look at the butt of the bayonet, where I circled it in red. you simply cut the bayonet grip to the correct length, trim the grip metal to fit thru the end cap, then peen it flat. easy peasy. if you use a older bayonet like pictured you can get one for around $30.00

Would it be easier to cut down a m9 and retap it?

heat with a torch until barely red, then use a ball peen hammer to round it over, like a rivet.

So it looks like there are two different tangs for the M7. One that's solid and one that has slots.

How do I tell which is which before buying?

Those are so cute. I need to make one, and I don't even own an SBR.

I'm not planning on doing too much metal working after this.
