Has anyone with one of these flash hiders tried to attach an M-6 bayonet?

On mine the lug jams just as the rear of the lug passes the rear of the slot.

I only have one flash hider and one M-6 so I am not sure which one is out of spec.

without knowing the bayonet maker, i would suspect the lug- i've got 2 m6's and it's a case of either- one is a us make, the other west german(solingen- ek) - they all fit my usgi m14s- the us one is just a tad sloppy, but the german one is tight
 
It could be either. I've seen a number of M4 and M6 bayonets that would not fit USGI lugs. Do you have access to another flash hider or another bayonet to try?

I have only the one of each which makes it hard to determine which is off.

I know where the flash hider came from (762mmfirearms). As far as I can tell the bayonet is authentic but I can't see any markings on the blade. The handle is black plastic held on with two flat head Philips head machine screws that engage hex nuts in recesses. The sheath is green plastic with a green web belt loop and old style clip. The metal at the top of the sheath is marked "U.S. M8A1 Made In Germany".

It is not a huge issue because I have no need to affix the bayonet, just something that seems a bit odd if the flash hider is supposed to be made to the original drawing. But of course I have no way of actually checking that either...

If it's a German made one (sounds like it) they are known for being tight. Also, with no markings on the blade, hard to say if it's a real one or a repro...?

Definitely, I'd see if I could borrow a legit one from someone before sentencing the expensive milled flash hider as "rubbish".

that's PROBABLY the same bayonet as i have- the german one- it's a clone - the real thing has ROUND nuts embedded into the grip and SLOTTED round head screws- i knew mine was german mostly b/c of the pricing and where i got it- numrich- the real thing was about 75 bucks us - but mine fits any m14 i have- but these are real m14s , with original flashiders, not aftermarkets
 
Hmmmm... So the flash hider has been released (for now) on its own recognizance, the M-6 will be asked to return for more questioning.
 
the reason slotted heads are used is so that you can use your handy-dandy COMBINATION TOOL to change the handle on the bayonet- some pictures might be of some benefit- maybe something a little file or some sand paper might benefit
 
Try to find a Norinco Bayonet Flash hidder if you have the German clone bayonet's. Now if you can find USGI 1's these flash hidder's lock up real nice;)
PM ne and I'll send you the lady's address that hook's me up if you realy want 1.
