Do you like Bayonets? I like bayonets. And what I mean by that in firearms terms is, a bayonet makes a gun whole. If a military issued firearm has a mount for a bayonet, the absence of the bayonet makes the gun incomplete.
But…I have my limits. I “like” bayonets. I don’t “love” them. I generally won’t pay exorbitant prices for bayonets relative to the value of the firearm. Figure 25-30% max.
In the case of the 1891 Carcano bayonets, it’s easy math. So many of these have hit the market over the last 18 months, the prices are in the basement.
If you have a MILSURP rifle but not the correct bayonet for it, pick it up now. Just like the rifles, the bayonets will be gone and the prices will skyrocket.
Sincerely,
Marky
