Warning and FYI
Repro bayonets sold may NOT FIT unless they are machined or file or Dremeled by you to do so.
This is not just IMA as they are commonly sourced.
Some may fit but this is a problem so be aware.
IMA does not warn people about this.
You will find it out if you check the customer reviews on the site BUT not all bayonet customers have posted this feedback.
So you should expect that you will have to do some work to get it to fit and the risk that you will file away too much and it will be lose and rattle or wiggle.
If you are up to doing a conversion then you should have no problem with this but it is something to be aware of if you are not comfortable with doing this kind of work.
Check the IMA site and review customer comments.
And FYI warning about Ebay Global Shipping and Bayonets
Ebay does not restrict posting or sale for bayonets or shipping from US to Canada.
BUT.......
Please note Ebay has started to seize bayonets and confiscate (real and repro) if sent through the Ebay Global Shipping program.
Right now it is two weeks after they attempted to grab my 1902 Krag bayonet sent from a reputable dealer in the US who was also shocked by what happened.
The dealer ships frequently to Canada and has not had a problem until recently (December)
Right now Ebay claims they are reviewing this and the item release with Global Ebay Shipping but the seller and I are under the impression we are being lied to and strung along as
it is now two weeks and two follow ups later and no answer or status.

Any plan to bring in the bayonet lug/heatshield? The link to the store you posted does not ship to Canada.
Just pulled the trigger and bought one! Always wanted to build a trench gun!
I'm so torn on weather to get one of these or spend twice as much on a double barrel coach gun for sass.
