The bayonet on a MN has Kant purposes. You can use it as a rotisserie to cook your dinner or as a pole vault.
Not even that, maybe a few extra pennies worth of steel but it is simply a matter of adding the lug to the bottom of the barrel, you aren't machining a separate part. Still the same number of operations.It's not particularly hard to make a rifle able to accept a bayonet. A few extra machining operations, adding maybe a few bucks to the overall price of the rifle, is well worth it just in case it is ever needed. I rarely mount one on my own rifles, but it is nice to have the capability.
If I recall correctly, about four years ago the Brits did a bayonet charge in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
Bayonets - Do They Still Have a Use?
I've never even seen an m4 or any AR with a bayonet attached. Anyone have a pic? Curious how it looks!
Looks better on a wood and steel rifle.... or shotgun!
I agree, it does look better on a wood and steel rifle... but it doesn't look bad on an AR.Looks better on a wood and steel rifle.... or shotgun!
