Buster Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I have been after a nice one of these for ages, it's a L1A3 / SLR bayonet as used by the british army until the UK started replacing the L1A1 rifle with the 5.56 NATO L85A1 assault rifle. The L1A3 bayonet was introduced into British service during the late 1950s to eliminate the protruding press stud used on the L1A1 and L1A2 designs. It was felt that the protruding press stud made the bayonet too easily dislodged, so the press stud was made flush with the pommel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fritz Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 has a slight resemblance to the 1907 bayonet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
