Ill buy an adapter to use a more common Bayonet on the Finn 39s if you
make them.

Thats Free Enterprise....

That's what I wanted, to use a spike bayonet on this M39.

Chaarge!

Spikes are ok, but they dont have any decent cutting ability and the
blade is far too narrow to break bones, bust ribs and whatnot.

But they do come out easier....

Perhaps something like these would be better?

I do not like any of them.

Pity. Obviously you dont have much experience with bayonets and their
practical use...which is a very good thing btw.

Ive got spikes on about 1/3rd of my SMLEs..the rest are good steel
blades sharpened well. And of course..some of my other arms have
bayonets as well.

I really hope that I could never need to be bayonetting anyone, this
is all for appearance only.

Oh! So then one can simply put plastic tools on top of your tool box
for looks only. The real tools would be in the drawers, hidden away.
I got it now!

A blade can be a marvelous impliment in the proper circumstances. And
few people pay a lot of attention to a spike, unless they know what can
be done with one. A nice sharp blade on the other hand...they tend to
instinctivly shy away from.....Which is a good thing. Prevents one from
actually having to use it at times.

Which is a very good thing, no?

Bayonet adds to the length of the rifle and is mostly a disadvantage.

Your opinion is noted with some amusement and a prayer of thanks you
dont know what you are talking about. Trust me..its a good thing.

On the other hand..some bayonets simply arent worth mounting....

and so forth....

Now this one..may be of value...

This is an AK bayonet. It is very practical because it can be used to
cut wire and do other things.

Yet nearly all of the first three I presented would do the same thing,
but were made not in Russia. And 2 were made of D2 steel. Which may or
may not be a good thing...shrug. And they all fit on the AK....chuckle

You tend to confuse me at times, a brilliant man with splashes of
astounding ignorance.

But I still like you.
