What bayo fits on a 16" carbine? I have what I believe is an M7 that fits fine on my SP1 but my Sendra carbine sight tower is too far from the flash hider for it to work right.
Yes, I have never owned a bayo before today.

M7 and M9 bayonets are designed for the M16 series rifles. However, the 16 inch barrel has too much distance between the lug and flash suppressor to properly fit a bayonet. I think the only way to fit a bayonet on a 16 inch barrel is to get a pre ban configured upper with mid length hand guards.

DPMS (IIRC) sells a bayonet adaptor that clamps onto a 16" barrel in the correct location to fix a bayonet.

By the way, that bayo is a nice blade. It was almost new and I had to sharpen it but I think I like it better than a commercially made knife.
How tough are they? I imagine soldiers put the thru hell, how do they stand up to prying and chopping? |

The M9 is a great general purpose knife/bayonet.
Leans more towards survival/fighting knife than bayonet. I have one of the 1st run/ 1st generation Buck M9s. It's great. |

Someone also makes an M7 bayonet with an extra long handle so it fits properly on the 16" shorties.
