U.S.Rare M6 Bayonet and M8A1 Scabbard BAYO 295 - BAYO 295 This is the scarce M6 bayonet, being the rarest of the M4 - M7 range of bayonets. The bayonet was used on the M14 rifle when it was introduced in 1957 due to the commitment to NATO and the standard 7.62 NATO cartridge. The rifle used the standard Garand action but had a flash eliminator and therefore could not use the M5 bayonet as this fitted the gas plug on the end of the Garand. The M6 bayonet has a conventional muzzle ring to fit over the flash eliminator. The bayonet was only produced for 6 years from 1957 to 1963 being replaced by the M16 rifle and M7 bayonet making this a scarce bayonet. The bayonet is marked on the crossguard with U.S. M6 and IMPERIAL (the manufacturer). The scabbard is stamped U.S.M8A1 VIZ (Viz Manufacturing Company). See An Illustrated History of Bayonets by Martin J. Brayley, Page 234. The price includes UK delivery. BAYO 295 £225.00 |
