Just wondering if anyone knew where or if you can get one
Duct tape a china pocket knife to it, that makes just as much sense!
they may be showing up in surplus stores soon: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100316/...basic_training
A friend of mine on active duty in Iraq said he hasn't had a bayonet since about 2006. I tried to get an M10 from him, but he said they're no where to be found...And does a standard bayonet not fit the same on an M4 or carbine?
A regular bayonet should fit but the 16" barrel will have some barrel hanging over the blade.
Hmmm... Works fine on mine. Unless one has a pencil barrel the amount of play will be miniscule. It is the locking stud that goes on the bayonet lug that secures it, not the bayonet eye which is only there to keep the blade relatively level. The only stress exerted on the eye is during slashing cuts. There will be play on M16 bayonets they are designed that way. I've never had one without "wobble" and I've been issued all three style of bayonets.
Impractical or not, I've got one of these: http://prebanarms.com/detail.asp?product_id=a03
I doubt that Lt. Adamson would agree that bayonets are obsolete: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8252974.stm
