Walnut with 3/4-length forearm and straight stock with brass musket butt-plate with trap; three bands; middle band has a sling loop with corresponding loop on the butt-stock. Very good mechanical condition; barrel with a medium modeled brown faded to gray patina. Receiver has rounded edges and typical small light nicks and scratches, otherwise a nice medium mustard patina. Wood is sound; cleaned sometime ago...nice grain and patina. Strong bright bore with a few spots of pitting. Barrel marked Winchester...New Haven & King's Patent with "1 - 1000c" between rear sight and frame.

I wish Uberti still made the musket versions of the '66s & '73s, I'd try to buy one ... and the bayonet, too, of course!

I'm not sure what this  is,  ;)  but probably.  I have to do some grinding and enlarging the hole (about .065")  to fit the muzzle brake/flash hider on my CAR 15A2.  Your picture didn't come out.

Thanks.

I hope you have a full wallet ...

I finally found (thanks to St. George) a beautiful bayo for my Model of 1917 Enfield.  They're around $200-$250 (in the condition mine is in) and pretty available ... IF you have the ca$h.

Don't know 'bout the others you're looking for.

Well, the topic is totally blown now, but I noticed that Texas Lawdog was looking for Trapdoor, Krag and Enfiled bayonets. These things are all over the place, they are not scarce, ebay always has them listed (buyer beware). Right now there are several Krags for less than $100. If you don't mind, there are really great quality repro's, correctly marked for the reenactor. Enfield's are easy to find.

For a Krag repro I suggest you visit: www.ima-usa.com/product_info.php/cPath/4_100/products_id/2182 for about $80, for a Krag real deal I suggest: www.gundersonmilitaria.com/bayonet.html at about $140.

Be careful about Enfield bayonets, the WW1 sheaths were all leather I think. Plenty of Enfield bayonets were refinished and given a new sheath for shotgun use in WW2.

Bayonets for the AR-15 are pretty reasonable, although quite a few are selling modern bayonets (I don't know if they are military spec) as military, but they are not that expensive.

As a buffalo hunter I always carry a bayonet for my AR-15 just in case the Comanches are thick and I am running low on ammo.
