Genuine U.S. Government-issued M7 Bayonets were designed for the AR-15, M16, and M4, with a unique, thinner blade profile and sharpened upper edge for enhanced penetration. The muzzle ring fits over the tip of the barrel. The bayonet boasts two mechanisms, located on either side of the handle, to securely lock the bayonet to the rifle lug. The 1095 carbon steel with zinc phosphate finish is made to withstand the harshest conditions. The M8A1 scabbard holds the M7 securely over the length of the blade and has a strap with a metal snap for the handle. The scabbard also has a metal clasp to fit over a belt, and when used with strings, the scabbard grommet helps keep your bayonet in place. Whether you are a collector or tactical enthusiast, the M7 Bayonet with M8A1 scabbard is a fantastic find. These beautiful bayonets are also designed to fit the Israeli Galil rifles and of course the Gallant rifles we sell if it is the rifle variation that has the bayonet lug. These bayonets are in Very Good condition at least, with most bordering Excellent to Like New Condition.
