Last year I bought a very nice SA Garand from the CMP. When I received it the serial number puts it as a 1943 production rifle. Ok here's my dilema. Ever since I purchased this rifle I've had this darn urge to get a matching year bayonet. At first it was just an impulse that I easily ignored. Lately though, it's turned into some else. Almost as if the Garand is calling to me and telling me to get it a bayonet. At the last couple of gun shows I've looked at bayonets that were there. At first I thought I'd pick up one of the cheaper M5 versions for $25. But that just didn't seem right getting a 1950s version of it's 1943 brother. This urge though just can't convince my penny pinching mind to plop down the ridiculous amount of cash they were asking for one from the proper year. Especially since it will just sit in the safe. Not yet anyway.
Hummmm, maybe I need to wrap the Garand in tin foil to hopefully stop it from making me pay stupid money for the thing.
So does this sound familiar to anyone? When you buy a rifle that has a detachable bayonet, do you get one or just figure it as a waste of money?
