I've seen that clip Richard and my take on what I saw is not the same as yours. I thought it was a rather fair review. I did find the apparent need to change old mags for new on a regular basis...

Even if New Inland has got its act together and brought their Q.C. up to G.I. standards I suspect that they would have plenty of “old stock” in the racks to move. Still good reason for the buyer to...

Most that I’ve read not written by themselves or those dependant on advertising indicate that the “new” Inlands are not a good investment. Based on my research I’d not touch one with a barge pole....

As one who could never spell to save his life I take solace in knowing that Winston Churchill had the same problem. However, I was under the impression that the so-called I before E rule was long...

I suspect that as international firearm laws become tougher more and more people are turning to collecting bayonets hence the price boom. I’ve got about a dozen bayonets and all are now worth more...

Well thank you for your frank opinion Dave. I’ve got a couple of carbines but they only get shot under range conditions. Even here carbines are getting expensive. Hence my interest in their bayonets...

Thanks dave. There is nothing like information that comes straight from the horses mouth, if you will forgive the expression. I am also an M1 Carbine fan. As a user how did you rate the carbine as a...

Many thanks Misfit. That is exactly what I was looking for. You have made my day. :-)

hi Dave. The picture I am getting is that these bayonets were rebuilt at a U.S.facility outside of the U.S. Possibly the Phillipines or Okanawa (spell). Damaged leather gripped M.4s were totally...

Thanks M1Garandy. That sums up what little I know. I guess we may never find out the complete story. Odd as they were made/converted not so long ago.

Gentleman I have just agreed to buy a very nice wood handled M4 bayonet at a good price. My research indicates that these bayonets may well have seen limited action in Korea. I would love to have...

Never thought of it that way but yes. That has to be a first in bayonet history.

Thanks Ironlip. I'm an M3 fan as well so that would be a picture worth finding.

Thank you m1ashooter. Mr Cunningham is THE man in this area and I don'tknow how I missed the information I needed when I first checked ?? Your link took me directly to what I needed to know. Thanks...

Thanks Johnny. That narrows it down a bit.

Gentleman. Can anyone tell me when the M4 bayonets first reached the troops. I am well aware that few if any carbines had bayonet bars until very late in the war. However, I'm told the M4 was also...

Thanks Tuna. That is logical. Also a darn sight lighter than his issue rifle. I am still trying to confirm my own recolections of his book. It has become an annoying default but almost pointless...

Gentleman. I know it is a long shot but I am following a thread elsewhere about the last Japanese soldier to surrender in WWII. I read the book “The Emperor’s Last Soldiers” many years ago, and...

Thanks Liam. Good to be back. Just slowly catching up on some interesting past post.

You bet Phillip at this very moment. Good memory. Jeans or shorts only when I wear narrow loop pants am I without that belt and buckle.

Reports of my death have been exaggerated. :-) Pleased to be back. Thanks for the welcome.

Thank you Tuna. You are one of the main reasons I am pleased to be back.

Hello. I am not new here but for reasons best known to the computer gods I could suddenly not log on a couple of years ago because the site had an issue with my exotic I.P. From time to time I have...

Very nice. I'd love to own that.

Thanks for your input gentlemen. I have owned semi automatic rifles for most of my life and for some reason have ALWAYS put the open end of the magazine at the top of the pouch. Only now at the...
