Type 81 Bayonet modification thread

Very nice!!!

Its not that nice, Hence no close ups lol...... This was just more of a quick prototype. Will make a better handle next week. but the Rosewood with Vintage Cherry stain does look killer.

I free handed my router instead of building a jig. lol... so my gaps aren't that precises. Ill build a jig and make about 10 of these handles ( Unfinished ) over Xmas for the guys here and will give them away as my Xmas present to the community.

Unfortunately Im short on spare time...lol... Heck im not even done building my reloading bench... lol...

The time it takes to make these plus material will cost way to much. Thats why ill make a couple extras and give them away unfinished.

You may just make some CGN members very happy this Christmas by doing that!
 
New holes for the screw and rear pin, Cut the bayo tang down 1/16th, and grounded off the front index piece. Pretty straight forward. Mods took less than 15 minutes. What takes time is the wood handles. Id say 2 hours of screwing around with my prototype handle.

Im looking at a good 2 hours to build a nice jig and 2 hours of work for my next set. Should be able to take close up macro shots at that point :) As you can see this is why I didnt do close up shots... lol...

Okay. You removed the rear piece and moved it back a bit.
I got my bayo but I will need the rifle before I can begin.
Great thread btw.
