Mosin Nagant Bayonet Issue

[EL34/6L6]

I've seen quite a few Mosin crates where the bayonets are all together wrapped in paper at the bottom of the crate.

All the recent Molot marked Mosin Nagant's came packed individually in white cardboard boxes with the bayonets still wrapped in that oily waxed paper.

success I ended up making a wood dowel to fit inside the bayonet end against the barrel and got my buddy to stand the barrel on end on the bench as I gave it a good coat of oil and steady hits with a brass drift. 1/16 of a inch at a time but it came off and now she slides on the right way easy peezy. thanks for all the ideas and help.
