Oddball bayonet question for safe queen

BobS · November 02, 2011, 18:56

I am looking for something similar to this, which used to be made by Eickhorn Solingen for use on my pride and joy SA58 DSA carbines:

I have 3 of these:

...one for the car , one in a backpack, and one pristene example I want to keep nice for my safe queen rifle.....while the other 2 get "scarred up".

Can anyone lead me in the right direction to purchase 3 of these mounts for my SA's, OR maybe one of the excellent gunsmiths can fab up and parkerize something similar that will work well (using Torx screws for example, instead of flat blade machine screws of the Eickhorn's, for example)?

Feel free to PM me in desired-I look forward to any and all help!! Been looking for a bit over a year now....

The bayonets are Chinese made. There maybe a tab in the bayonet ring to prevent mounting. Tapco had Shotgun News ads on them some years ago.

After the ban I remember DPMS selling bolt on AR15 bayonet adapters for use with A1 and A2 type rifles, maybe one of those might work? Might be easier to find as well?

Edit: Try this

Sell the chicom made bayo's and buy yourself a blade that is more closely associated with the FAL pattern rifle, like this one.

It's even got two little knives with it, has probably as much steel as your DSA receiver, weighs damn near the same, and was made not all that far from China...

Man if your down to using a bayo you have bigger problems to deal with. Get a sidearm and ditch the bayonets. IMO bayo's are just "Tacticool" with limited use for the weight they add. Good luck in your search though for the adapter.

If there were no bayonet lug ban, who'd be interested in them? Now the bayonet lug is an assault weapon feature, it's a must have.

Thanks...after past experience with DPMS, I am not really interested in dealing with them again. I DO appreciate your help though!!

Nope-straight bore of 22.5mm. They fit fine on a friend's M16A1, as well as the custom FH on the SA58.

LOL....

Between the 945 and 220 grain WW Silvertips I put back, I am not worried. The bayonets have been 2 toned to match the S&W 945 and so has the SA58. Like I said...it is for show on my safe queen.
