M6 Bayonet for M14 with lugs

So if you went to Wallmart would you expect to find any large milspec knives for under $50? For about $100 you should be able to get the bayonet and scabbard in new condition. I've seen beat up ones at gun shows here for the same or more.

I use mine to pick up things I don't want to touch. There's a lot of things I don't want to touch.
Seriously though, I bought my bayonet from Elwoods and a flash hider with the lug from the EE here. The bayonet is a new made by Solingen with an M8A1 sheath.

they've ALWAYS neen a lot of money, and in VERY short supply, even for the knockoffs-the ones made in germany by solingen( thich might be a better knife, btw) i think that 1) there were only 1million or so m14s made, so there MIGHT be 2 million bayonets in circulation
2 the m1a shares a bayonet lug( and there's a LOT)of those produced by springfield , but no blades, so that also shrinks your supply
now when you add the other manufacturers into the mix , the supply shrinks even less
that's not to mention the "shrinkage"- lost in battle, dropped, stolen, etc- it's basically a short garand bayonet with a different tail - and not everyone wants one- now the m16, on the other hand, is VERY easy to obtain, in both the m7 and m9 configs-
my own personal experience was that i bought a german knockoff for 30 bucks way back when, and then in the 90's paid 75( omg) for a battle experienced one-so it's supply and demand as well as a COLLECTOR'S ITEM, just like the line throwing kit-which we just kicked overboard when done with

well, any m8 shelter will fit- the proper is an m8a1, but you might run into trouble with it being an m14 part- dunno about that one- it also looks a little too clean for a milsurp-should be more expereinced than that- the way to check would be to see waht the manufacturer's name is printed- if there isn't one, it's a knockoff- different might be able to tell you the names- just like the REAL m14 manufacturers, there should be only 4 or so
I picked up one from that seller that THX1139 mentioned.
It came sealed in a plastic baggie with cardboard on the blade stamped something like 'Re-packaged 1986' and some other stuff. Looked like mil-surp storage from
the '80's. Fits very snug on the m305. It may be the amount of parkerizing on the lug, but none the less, fits well.
Nice thing about that seller is he doesn't hose you on shipping. $5 for shipping is pretty reasonable.

Actually I was reading a bear defence post and someone suggested a 308 capable of mounting a bayonet
I'll check out the collectors site

Rockabout,
How did you get it shipped to you? The website keeps telling me USPS is the only service for this item and there is not shipping quote avaliable for my area code.
Thanks

I didn't place my order yet, Im assuming the shipping costs from east coast to east coast would be quite low for a small object thats not too heavy either.
Try e-mailing them with your address for a quote and/or possibile alternatives.
Personaly I'd rather make all my orders within Canada but we don't seem to stock these little gems.

Keepshooting ships up here as do Cheaper than dirt. Both have reasonable shipping. They have original [pricey] and knockoffs [much cheaper but still pointy].

Just ordered an M6 bayonet from Keepshooting. Cheaper than dirt says they don't ship outside U.S. on their website. If you phone in an order does that change things?
