Nice replica.
"Nice replica. The plastic sheath concerned me, but I looked it up, the originals were fiberglass reinforced plastic. But that makes a lot of noise. Blade looks good and has a good edge to it."

"FANTASTIC REPLICA AND REALLY NICE JOB ON THE PERSONALIZED ETCHING."
"This bayonet is well done. It feels good and looks good. As close to an original as you can get."
"I was very happy with this purchase. My only complaint is how loose the latch mechanism is, however, it functions fine. Also, the color of the sheath, a bit too bright; would prefer a more flat OD green. Again, very happy with this purchase."
"fits good looks good.appears to be good impressed..."
"I don't own any rifles and haven't tested how well this functions as a bayonet, but I will review how well it functions as a knife. The center of balance is about 0.75in past the guard, rendering it a little blade-heavy. It definitely feels somewhat weighty in the hands. I believe the grind is intended to be Scandinavian, but when I received it the secondary bevel angle (where the actual edge is) was not quite the same on both sides of the knife. This (and probably other factory reasons) rendered it very dull and took quite a lot of work by hand to get it capable of cutting. Having to re-grind one of the secondary bevels involved a lot of trial and error; I don't recommend attempting this if you are just beginning to learn sharpening. The handle is comfortable enough and the large groove at the end prevents one's hands from slipping off. The sheath works well. It has a slot to allow for carry on a belt so that the knife will be parallel to the belt (so when standing up, if one sticks one's hand straight out, it will be parallel to the knife). This allows for a nice, fluid draw as opposed to knives that attach perpendicular to the belt, which are awkward to draw. The knife locks into the sheath on both sides of the guard and is secured by a small lever on the knife. I doubt that it will ever fall out unintentionally. Overall there is a lot of material for the money. It would be very good as a display piece if one does not want to put in some work on the blade, but if one skillfully sharpens it it will become a pretty decent knife."
"i was a little hesitant to order after reading some of the comments, but now I'm glad I did. This bayonet fits my CMP Springfield M1 Garand perfectly. It's tight withought being binding, and the latch works flawlessly for both the locking lug and the scabbard. And of course it looks great, too. Face it... an M1 is just not an M1 without a sling and bayonet. I might even get the long one now that I know they fit."
"Looks good. Very close to the original. The lug slot was too small and would not fit on the rifle. 5 minutes of filing on rifle lug would have fixed the problem, but I wasn't willing to deface the rifle. Spent hour and a half with a tiny file working on the lug slot to make it fit. After the modification it works just fine."
"Looks good. Fits M1 Garand perfectly. Tight and snug"
"I bought several of these after reading the comments. I was not disappointed. Compared side by side it is very close. Very small China on the blade can easily be covered. Well worth the money. If the release button was sturdier I would give this a five star rating. Visually it rates a five."
