fake bayonets

It has been mentioned before... But I'd not looked properly at the allied stuff. I quite fancy an M3 knife and a M1 bayonet.

Aye, not looked at them for a while - the M3 is definitely a new addition, and for our purposes makes much more sense than buying a real one!

Perhaps we should get a bulk order sorted?

i thought the grenades were very good.

Well for mills bombs there's quite a good maker in the UK, who's grenades will work out quite a bit cheaper.

But the yank ones are nice.

I've emailed them about the M1 bayonet. If your wanting for this to sit in the Scabbard its fine. But if you wanting to attach it to the end of a garand. It doesn't have the locking mechanism, so will just fall off.

They work out pretty expensive for a single buy, about the same as buying a real one, when you add in their shipping costs. So maybe a bulk buy could get shipping price down.

Well that's a shame and rather makes it a little pointless.

That's a good deal on the Kabar though, to get a real one they're expensive!

yeah defeats the point a bit...but i guess they thought people would only want to have it as show rather than a practical weapon

Feck that... I want to fix bayonets and charge... okay so I won't actually poke anyone with it even if it is rubber. It would have the weight of an M1 garand and an airsofter behind it, so would still hurt.

I saw a guy at Haggard last year with one of these K98 rubber bayonets fixed to his rifle so it is possible. He ran into a foxhole I was in and it looked bloody scary and real. It was only when I commented that it was a bit harsh for airsoft and he demonstrated it by stabbing the ground that I saw it was made of rubber. I cant remember his name but I believe he went on to knife kill the enemy commander with it later that day!

I've got one ,you have to drill out the receiver a little ,but they do fit nicely on the K98, but they are a bit flimsy,Steiner snapped his blade off his at a recent open day where it had got a bit brittle in the cold.

Aye, but that wasn't a Fieldwerks one. In the end, I went for a real one, since by the time you add shipping etc, it's at least the same price.

But thats K98 bayonets, not M1 Garand ones.

That was me, and I did get Webby with it attached to my rifle.
As Stof says with the K98 bayonets you do need to drill out the hole for the cleaning rod a bit more if you still have it attached (accidently snapped it off last week ) but once on they are very secure. The blade is quite flexible so wobbles a bit when you run but at least you can be sure it won't snap off ot stab you if you fall on it. I guess the fixing mechanism on the M1 bayonet must be more complex so impossible to replicate in a mold.

It works on a button released clamp...So would be impossible to replicate in a solid rubber mould
