CAF appears to have purchased a number of Eichorn made "Bayonet 2000" for the C7 etc rifles. What is the CAF designation for this arm?
You're about 15 years+ late on when this happened lol
They replaced the Nella bayonet, I imagine due to Nella's poor hardening and then tempering. They were not tempered when I was in and the replacement were soft.
the specs on the new C7 bayonet, I think a few sponsors have them for sale
C7 Bayonet P/N 09653C-1 NSN 1095-20-001-6751
Scabbard, Bayonet P/N 09669C-1 NSN 1095-20-001-6758
Carrier, Scabbard, P/N 0376368-1 NSN 1095-20-001-5634
So it is called a C7 bayonet in service?
We started using the country identifier of 20 around 2002 after we had pretty much depleted all the 21 numbers. We could not go to 22 because it was already in use by Denmark.Is Canada now using 20 as well as 21 as the national identifier in the NSN system?
The trial bayonet says Bayonet 2000 on it. The scabbard has a flat tip screw driver on it. There is a trial CADPAT scabbard. The first issued bayonets had Diemaco on them. Later issued had the maple leaf on it. Colt Canada was going to offer a special bayonet for the SA15.7 and SA20, but never did, do to the whining on CGN. I have the only sample produced.
Some of us are still using the original bayonets though, only used the newer ones once.
