AK Bayonets

摘要

IF you're like me, you find having the correct bayonet for a military rifle adds to its appeal. In the case of the AK-47 or AK-74, most of the bayonets can be found at relatively reasonable prices. For many issued the AK-47 or AK-74, the bayonet was the highest quality blade they were likely to have and, in some cases, the number of spare mag-azines issued was so limited that the soldier or guerrilla fighter might have to resort to the bayonet. The AK-47's predecessor, the SKS, had a folding bayonet attached to the rifle, a real advantage for the armies that used it, as the bayonet stayed with the weapon, lessening the chance of it getting lost and eliminating the cost of a sheath. Although the AK-47 normally had a detachable bayonet, some Chinese AK-47s incorporated a folding bayonet.
