M1 Bayonet

M1 Garand rifle was first issued with M1905 16″ bayonet. In 1942, the US Military determined that a shorter bayonet was more useful. Existing stocks of M1905 bayonets were cut down to 10″. In addition, new manufacture 10″ bayonets were also produced. Cut-off-bayonets have fuller that extends to the point and new manufacture has fullers that stop about 3″ from the point. This reproduction bayonet is made to original specifications from high carbon blued steel with hard plastic grips. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts. Scabbard available separately.
