British L3A1 Bayonet and Scabbard for the SA80 Rifle. 22416:2 - 22426:2
This is an excellent L3A1 bayonet which was introduced in 1985 to fit the new SA80 service rifle. The L3A1 socket bayonet is based on the FN FAL Type C socket bayonet with a clip-point blade. It has a hollow handle that fits over the SA80/L85 rifle's muzzle and slots that lined up with those on the flash eliminator. The blade is offset to the side of the handle to allow the bullet to pass beside the blade. It can also be used as a multi-purpose knife and wire-cutter when combined with its scabbard. The scabbard also has a sharpening stone. The use of contemporary bayonets by the British army was noted during the Afghanistan war in 2004. It was an innovative design incorporating many new features. The scabbard is made of Phonolite plastic. A nice set of the current British bayonet. See Skennerton item B329, pages 266 & 267 also Martin J. Brayley ‘An illustrated history of bayonets’ Pages 144-147. The price includes UK delivery. 22426:2 (Box 1)
