It is not a russian bayonet. It is a 3 sided chinese bayonet. The russians were 4 sided. Respectfully, you were given bad information when you picked up the rifle. It may have come directly from russia, but sometime before you got it, someone changed it out.
 
Update: The rifle was returned to Westrifle on this past Tuesday by UPS.

Al and I have exchanged cordial, and helpful emails since then and we both seem to be on the same page.

I will call Mastercard tomorrow to confirm a return credit.
 
Why would anyone change it? for what reason?

To sell it to someone who might not know. Perhaps to you. If it were missing a bayonet it would be easy to see it is missing. With any bayonet, one might not know, should they be less informed. The evidence as far as SKS research goes is pretty clear between the differences between a Chinese spike and a Russian spike. Very much different looking creatures.
 
Brian can you forget about westrifle? Is it hard to know why are you always commenting only bad things about westrifle even though you never bought from westrifle. I will create a post about good thing that westrifle did can you please comment on that. I told you that I do not like when you bad mouthing my business. If there was no westrifle there would be no Sks or Mosin in Canada from Ukraine. Can you please comment about that?
As to this 1949 me and the person who bought it talked and I already returned the money to the guy even before I received the rifle. Once I receive it I will take detailed pictures and explain to everyone that it is Russian. It has a silver bayonet basically it is not painted black like the rest of 1949. Ohh I also think I will leave it to my self as it is last 1949 that will ever be exported from overseas.

First of all since we are on a first name basis Vladimir or is this Aleksey it's hard to tell, it's Bryan with a Y not a I. I do not bad mouth Westrifle. I just stated a few facts over the years that have been forgotten about Westrifles products and customer service. Once again you are a little misinformed "I DID" by two $100.00 Mosins off of Westrifle. To OP(JimDO) glad to hear everything worked out for you. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.............
