My M14 look more complete now, i received my M6 bayonet this morning:) Fit very well, a bayonet lug is useless if you dont have a bayonet to click on:p
Cheers,
Jocelyn

actually, there's a number of "things" that clip onto the bayonet lug, not just the knife- bayonet.right off the top of my head, the front half of the bfa( blank firing appartus) the line throwing device, and the compensator for the m14a1 version; not to mention the "supressor" for the night silent version

I would love to have a light that can be mounted on the lug...
 
I would be interested to read how adding the bayonet affects accuracy on the M14: a range report with and without bayonet attached would be well received.

they call that DUCT TAPE- seriously, get yourself an m6 and remove the grip screws- then take a mini-mag or other similar STEEL barreled flashlight and drill some holes with the same spacing as the grip screws-then tap those holes and use some longer screws to secure the light- or just duct tape the handle of the m6 and the flashlight together- imo, it's still a REALLY STUPID idea

I had something like this: h ttp://www.botachtactical.com/iti.html in mind - looks pretty slick...
 
Silly me again, I have a Bayonet for display, dont even cut a hot dog. Bought it because it was COOL! It now is on display with the M14 for prosperity. If you need one get one! Otherwise, it's a good conversation piece.

but that's HOW IT SHOULD BE- you use a bayonet for thrusting and parrying , like a spear- you DON'T use it for cutting-the ONLY reason to sharpen a bayonet is to leave a clean. sharp edged wound and allow the blade to more easily insert and extract- IT IS NOT A KNIFE
 
:D It does look good with the blade on it doesn't it. It was the first thing I did when I got it home. Spent 45 mins looking for it. Wasn't satisfied till I popped it on.

And a fine spear it is!

The other end makes a damm good club as well.

If only more people realized that before sharpening them. Sad. Ruins the value and collectability.
