Don't own one, but by dad has recently been bitten by the bayonet bug. He wants a bayonet for all of our old guns.

If it's the actual GI M7, it's a pretty cool blade. I bought one a couple months ago from eBay that was a new in wrap Ontario issue bayonet, and I like it. There are many knockoffs out there so it all depends on what seller you purchased from.

They're pretty sure you won't shoot them, but not so certain you won't stick them.
Ever long gun that can take one should have one.

I have a few M-7's. Have one in tan with a tan M-10 scabbard that came in a government stamped wrapper.
Apparently just slightly rare. Were issued during Desert Storm as I understand it, even though we had already adopted the M-9. Ontario Knife is a legit supplier. Good to have buddies like you!

Surplus ones used to be $20 on ebay, but they are now $40+.
It is probably a better bayonet than the M9, but both should be a few inches longer IMHO. |

The M7 is what was issued to me, so that is of course my favorite.
As a bonus, it fits my midlength carbine and 590 equally well.

If it doesn't go into a holster then it should have a bayonet.

I like the m-7s and the new Marine one.
The m-7s are probably better at stabbing even though it's shorter. Spear point, narrow blade, with no serations to get stuck. As a field knife it works fine. It's what I was issued. You don't need much to cut open MREs. I did also use a sog seal pup and a kabar. |

Sports Man Guide has used surplus M7 with Scabbard's for a little over $30 bucks right now, I ordered a couple last week, cleaned and sharpened and they are good to go.

M7 will only mount properly on the rifle length barrel (not a carbine length barrel).. I believe..

It will mount just fine on a *proper* carbine barrel (14.5") just not our stupid civie/non-NFA version. I'm looking for an M9. I already have a couple Colt M7s that I've picked up over the years. one sits permanently on my Colt Sporter II HBAR. |

I thought it would be cool to get a beat up looking M9 just to keep.. but I realized that if I'm ever explaining to my unborn grandkids how I used one, saying "Pretty much only in parades" doesn't sound as cool..

So, it's my buddy's birthday coming up. I asked his wife what he had been talking about buying for himself. She said M-7 bayonet. I found one on Amazon made by Ontario. I know Ontario is a legit company so I went with it. 49 bucks. Anyone own one ? I have an Ontario Machete. EXTREMELY high quality... I would not worry about it letting him down.

Modern, paintable M10 Scabbard . Don't ruin older, collectible scabbards. For M-7 Bayonet and others similar.
Use MOLLE KBAR Adaptor, or ALICE Adaptor to mount to PALS platforms or ordinary belts. The K-BAR adaptor is more versatile IMHO. Bayonets from M1 Carbine, Late M1 Garand, M-14, and early M-16 should all fit this scabbard. DO shop around, as prices/shipping vary. M10 scabbards usually in black, some in Desert Tan; more expensive. K-Bar Adaptors in CB, OG, and DCU. ALICE Adaptors in OG and DCU. Disclaimer: no financial interest. |

The OKC is very nice - I wish Ontario would offer it w/o the serrations. I bought one in Kuwait for my former Marine NCOIC, and have a pic of us together w/ crossed bayonets on our M4s. |
