U.s.m7 boc

[Reibert]

Hi, mates,

yesterday I received this U.S. M7 -bayonet for use on the M16 and on the Remington 870 also, on the Mossberg 500 and 590 shotgun.

This M7 was manufactured by BOC (Bauer Ordnance Co.).

The USM8AI sheath was manufactured by P.W.H.
(Pennsylvania Working Home for the working blind).

The snap was manufactured by RAU CO
(RAU Fasteners Providence, Rhode Island).

Measurements:
Blade lenght: 171 mm
Overall lenght: 301 mm
Thickness of the blade: 5 mm
Width of the blade: 22 mm
MRD: 22 mm

This, particular, bayonet is heavilly used and in bad condition.
Nevertheless, it show´s a rack number on both sides of the sheath.

IMO still a pretty nice, "Vietnam Era" -Bayonet.

Best regards,
R.

the only minus are the screws head slots, but i assume it was done post by some collector, to look under grips, this is not problem, and i saw this more time on M7.
