Scabbard M8 to Scabbard M8A1
I was reading through Canfield's big book "the M1 Garand Rifle" and came upon a reference to MWO 9-1000-200-50 date 29 September 1958 entitled "Bayonet-Knife Scabbard M8: Conversion to Bayonet-Knife Scabbard M8A1". I am wondering if anyone has a copy of the modification work order that they could send me (either soft or hard copy would work) or does anyone know where I might obtain a copy? Thank you.

Check the "Bayonet Points" postings - I believe he wrote an article on the differences.
