i don't think there are any MILITARY versions that will.
there used to be a company making an extended lenth m9 and another that made an adapter for regular bayonets.. the other option is the bolt on bayonette lug in the right spot. if anyone's making a milspec for those i'd like to know also. |

I thought going with the midlength made it so a standard bayonet would fit with a 16" barrel?

If you have a midlength, all bayonets that'll fit a 20" will fit your rifle. Or at least that's what I've been led to believe...

Pre-Bans Arms makes an extended bayo to fit 16''. A standard bayo will fit a 20'', but not a 16'' except if you use the lug adapter.
I have the extended bayo and it works fine. Not that i ever had to use it. I use the lug adapter on a MechTech w/flashhider. Cost is appr $25 for the lug. You have to get the correct diameter, standard or Hbar..... If you want realism go w/the Pre-Ban Arms bayo, for cost go with the lug.. |

The location of the bayonet lug in relation to the flash hider is the same on a full size 20" barrel and a 16" with mid length handguards. I have an RRA 16" carbine upper with mid length handguards. Any standard M-16 bayonet will fit. The adaptor people speak about is needed if you have either a 16" barrel or a 14.5" barrel and the long flash hider and M-4 handguards.

Brian,
is that a 20" or a 16"? So there are 16" bbl that have the front sight post moved further forward to accept longer handguards? |

It's a 16" midlength, it uses midlength handguards that are longer than carbine handguards, and you have a longer gas system and a longer sight radius too
