2) Preserves the bayonet.
Needlessly sharpening bayonets is the sign of an amateur

Unless of course there is something to poke with the pig sticker.

They don't really need to be sharpened. I have seen the results of an as issued bayonet that did a considerable amount of damage without a lot of force being applied at all during drill. It penetrated 4" of flesh in the upper chest coming to a stop under the man's collar bone. He pulled it out immediately and fainted falling on his face which resulted in more blood from his nose than the wound. We were the next class for rifle drill and when we arrived they were just sweeping sand over the bloodstains on the asphalt.

This occurred just after the RAN was issued with SLRs after having had the SMLE No1 MkIII* which was too tall to catch in your shoulder during drill. There were many torn shirts and lesser nicks and scratches until people became aware of the problem of a considerably shorter rifle and bayonet.

Are you going to "sportarize" the AK (or) are you going to leave it pristine?

For comparison, my SKS bayonet came pretty dull, even the point looked dull, but using a minimal amount of force I got it through a 2" block of wood, so it's no joke! That thing doesn't even need sharpening, really, it's more of a spearhead than a knife.

This bayonet is kinda short. I will probably use it as a knife as well. I will look into a 75 rd drum magazine as well. that would be alot of fun!

Since you know have a modern rifle.... STOCK UP ON MAGAZINES, PARTS, AND AMMUNITION!

With the way he 2008 Congressional and Presidential looks like they're headed. New Anti 2nd Amendment laws will be passed. Restrictions on magazines capacity, stock design, and ammunition will be passed. Trust me, it happened during the age of Clinton Socialism, and sinc the witch is running it will happen again.

well guys, its been a long time coming. I finally was able to get home and find the camera. Here are some pictures... Sorry about the kinda poor quality. i just have a really crappy camera. the last picture also has my .22 rifle from the '50s and my shotgun from the '30s. the .22 was my dads as a kid, and the shotgun (16 gauge) was my grandfathers.

What's that contraption on top of the rifle in the first photo? Is that a red dot/holo sight of some sort?

Well, congrats on only a EBR (Evil Black Rifle). Now upgrade and get a AR-15.... just yanking your leg. Congrats and may you have a long and happy period of ownership. Now go and get an AR-15... it's designed by an American, for Americans, and built by Americans in America.

By the way... the price of ammo is rising and also a new gun ban is coming... '08 doesn't look good for gun owners. The democrats are getting ansy.
