[QUOTE="fustigate, post: 2247038, member: 18799"] I was helping with tornado cleanup/demo with my church in Moore today (still a LOT of work to be done) and found this bayonet. The homeowner was not there to ask. I [I]cannot[/I] figure out what it is, but I figure someone here will know :) [Hopefully these pix aren't too big...] It's very rusty, so some details are lost. It's 20" long, including the "muzzle." It's not a blade-style, but has a squarish or star cross section from the four fullers (sometimes erroneously called "blood grooves"). [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1105.photobucket.com_albums_h352_fustigate314159_bayonet_20130720_145439_zps509862e0.jpg[/IMG] I didn't get a picture, but if you notice, it doesn't taper to a point, but a more like a slotted screwdriver does. (Perhaps not original.) It's outer diameter is only 1", which narrows down the calibers it could be for. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1105.photobucket.com_albums_h352_fustigate314159_bayonet_20130720_145554_zps712356cd.jpg[/IMG] You can see it above and here: there is a grooved spring release at the mortise. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1105.photobucket.com_albums_h352_fustigate314159_bayonet_20130720_145528_zpsbe927a8e.jpg[/IMG] It has some Arabic numerals; seems to be "1119." The spring release is on the right.
