I finally got a pointy stabby thing for one of my rifles

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I finally got a pointy stabby thing for one of my rifles (Page 1 of 2)

Posted: 4/11/2019 8:59:28 AM EDT

There was a thread the other day basically saying how bayonets on rifles are a pretty intimidating thing

Welp I finally joined the club.

Nice. And yes, they are intimidating...

The cops should use them for crowd control next time antfa shows up.

CETME-L

Its a unique little gun

But lacks some critical details to really set it off. Mostly the sights kinda suck

It is very reliable and shoots extremely soft though. Takes AR mags

Im thinking about force matching the gun to the bayonet since I noticed it has a serial

. Worth more down the road right?

I dunno

I think that bayo just honestly completed that gun

I might even refinish it and pretty a few areas up

I had bayonets since I worked at Tapco back in 1999. I only ended up with a rifle (thanks PSA) with a configuration that would accept them in 2018. I prefer the M7 to the M9. The M9 looks like some sort of anime accessory, the M7 is sharp and very dagger-like.

Yeah my only other gun I have that can take one is in pieces

One day

I cant wait to get it together and a bayo for it.

I've got some antique bayonets I need to eventually track down the rifles for.

It does look good w/ that bayonet. Got 9 sharpened last weekend.

I have to admit I was surprised that its not even remotely sharp

I mean its pointy kinda. Just has a ton of weight behind it.

I had a yugo m48 back in the day with a bayo. I recalled that thing being much sharper and pointer than this one

In 1917 the length of bayonets were ridiculous.

Point of order:

Knives are pointy stabby.

The correct nomenclature for bayonets is ‘pokey jabby.’

They were made to kill horses at the time. After the 1st WW they were downsized. Our 42 bayonet was like 16”, the 43 was 8-10" or summat.

I like to have stabby things for anything that can fit a stabby thing. Most of my milsurps have the appropriate bayonet.

The A4 looks good with an OKC3S on the end, too.

So, I've had a K31 for several years, and have been talking about finding a bayonet for it. Not a big deal, they are around, but I just never did it.

Then, my Dad passed away last Summer completely unexpectedly. Me and my brother are cleaning out his house, and I find a perfect K31 bayonet that he'd obviously purchased for my rifle but hadn't had the chance to give to me.

Lightweights.

I mean it's your funeral when you're standing waist deep in a pile of spent brass, and a horde of undead babies is about to eat your brains and you haven't prepared for this scenario by equipping everything with a bayonet.

Besides, Clinton said I couldn't have one. Suck it Clinton.

Weird. I always thought it was SOP to buy the bayonet if the rifle can mount it.

I have a whole bunch of bayonets. I finally got one for my VZ58. :)

You can then shoot it off so as to not prick your fingers.

Well, I did, but I sold it with the rifle. Too hard to find that weird 8mm ammo. Oh, and those clips! I had four of them marked with a Nazi Eagle. They didn't come with the rifle, and were super expensive. I could never find more.

I believe the 7 to be a far superior bayonet to the 9 as well. Wish the 7 was about an inch longer however.

Damn. This reminds me. My 1903a3 and my M1 have to share a bayo. Does the CMP still have any? I got my first through them.

Wait no. I do have an M1905 and an M5A1 knockoff. I can equip them both. :)
