practical use for SKS bayonet ?

[AManWithAGun]

Hi,

Do you use your SKS bayonet for anything other than looks ? Did you take it off your SKS to save a little weight ?

I'm sure you can mount a bayonet charge against a bear if you're sufficiently motivated, but anyone came up with a practical use for SKS bayonet ?

You can use it as a harmonic modulator. Or a monopod.

 

[westrifle_sks]

To scare the sh@t out of people at the range.
Open cans .
Use as a pod.

Just few that come to my mind

tent pegs?

I keep it on the rifle for stabbing zombies in close quarter

It's very practical for bayoneting imperialist dogs.

Brother in law once stabbed a big round bale. Other than that, there is no practical application for the bayonet until the zombies/chinese/russians/etc are coming.

I had some friends that would shoot until the barrel was intensely hot, then they'd stab the bayonet into the ground and run water through the barrel lol. They called it the "SKS Cooling Spike".

Machine it to the shape of a bottle opener on then end...

at least it could be useful for something

Making a spear/boar spear with mine I removed it following tacticool insertion into my poor rifle.

My .50 bottle opener may now have a friend....

I replaced the spike bayonet on my tacticool Tapco Norc SKS withthe blade type bayonet...waaaay cooler.

I use my SKS for Deer hunting and the bayonet is used for gutting&skinning. I dont have to carry a knife.

A few years back there were a bunch of yahoos on the other side of the river from our cabin whooping it up pretty good. Son & I headed across the river on our ATV's to go back woods shooting and passed right through Camp Yahoo. Son in camo with a rifle slung on his back and me with my SKS with bayonet out on my back.
Camp Yahoo became very, very quiet as we smiled at them and motored on thru.
They were real quiet that night.

That must have taken quite a bit of sharpening to make a useful edge.

I use my norinco spike as an apod haha, kind of like a shooting stick.

I was thinking something more like maybe he plans to use it for field dressing... but hasnt had the chance yet

a friend of mine did grind and sharpen his... it became a bit of a safety hazard having this razor sharp blade unsheathed in the back of the truck...or while sitting in a tree stand...
