May 7, 2012 · The M9 Bayonet traces it's history to a small R&D company called Qual-A-Tec. You can see a full history here. In brief, the company was created to support Special Forces and the Rambo movies were just out so they developed a knife which would later become the …

Feb 23, 2008 · We decided to make a similar bayonet in the M9, and ended up with a expensive bayonet that broke easly. However the breaking problem was fixed quickly. Personally I thing the M9 has a better sheath, and the M10/11 to be a better knife. However I echo Support_Six and would rather have a good field knife then either of the M9 or M10/11.

Jun 4, 2015 · My M9 bayonet worked fine on my first Armalite. Had a standard A2 flash hider, crush washer, and a lug Armalite used to sell for their gas blocks. My crush washer was pretty much flattened too. Unless you had am abnormally large crush washer, the same bayonet works on my ar15 as well.

Sep 8, 2022 · Quoted: Probably the better solution is an M-7 bayonet, OP, & a pair of insulated wire cutters. The M-9 bayonet was a poor copy of a Soviet design and had inherent blade weakness issues due to the giant hole in the blade.

May 15, 2010 · The standard bayonets M7, M9, and USMC OKC3S and similar handles will mount approximately a half inch more forward on the FS of a midlength compared to a M16 rifle and M4 carbine mounting locations. The bayonet mounting on midlength is …

Jan 19, 2003 · After reading your entire post, I've deceided that I'm going to send my M9 bayonet to you, with a check for $30.00. $25 of that is to sharpen the bayonet, $3 of it is return shipping and the last $2 is to be put in your retirement fund, because you obviously don't have a job. It would take me a freakin' week to sharpen my M9 to a decent edge.

Feb 10, 2008 · The M9 is better than the M6 bayonet used on the m1a/m14 rifle since it is about 1/4' longer. The M7 has a 6.5" blade compared to the M9's 7" blade. There is some controversy about the M9 having breakage problems, which may be due to either the metallurgy of the blade or the width of the blade compared to its length.

Aug 5, 2014 · M9 bayonet fits the standard M4 (14.5 barrel and A2 flash hider). That's what I was issued and carried in Afghanistan. Posted: 8/5/2014 6:10:43 AM EST

Dec 25, 2010 · If you are wanting a good bayonet, I wouldn't buy the M9, as it isn't really a good bayonet in the first place. The M7 with it's thiner, more tapered blade, is considered a better bayonet for the purpose of being a bayonet. The M9 could be considered a better field knife. I have had 2 Buck M9's and I got my first one when I was about 12 or so.

Feb 22, 2015 · The M7 is a straight up bayonet, the M9 is a knife bayonet, not just in name but in actual use. The only downside is they made that m9 a bit meaty in my estimation. The M4 style I think is pretty good, they look great with the older leather washer handles, they have a wicked and utilitarian look to them.
