Just Ordered 2 Mosins From Classic Arms

How sharp are the points on the bayonets? Will they require "Honing"? My thinking is the use of this thing as a Javelin when I run out of ammo in a "crucial" situation.       Bill T.

It's a triangle type.  Not sharp at all. (But illegal according to the Geneva Conventions )  It is also a flat tip screw driver!

I'm going to blame you, but I've got the C&R out, made a couple calls last night, and if I can pick up some weekend hours in the truck ... it will be all your fault

At least DeepWater and Haz get a break. I really want one for a swamp gun. Something purely disposable and cut down to Everglades ranges that will fit behind the truck seat or in the skiff. Still, I don't deal well with RH bolts, so it will be a 590, an SKS or a lever gun. But damn, you'd be a fool not to buy one and a bunch o'ammo at these prices. Its like the Norinco Chinese AKs and $.10 a round ammo that were on offer in the early 1990's. Its not a deal that will last forever.

Mine is a pretty damn sharp " flat head screwdriver", a good thrust will pierce clothing and flesh for sure....

install it, with a light coating of oil, or you'll be using channel-locks to get the darn thing back off..

Almost like the Norinco SKS's back in the day, $99 a piece, right from the crate. Should have gotten a "six-pack" of them..

I can see the need for more than one.

I tipped a box upside down to get the bayonet out and had my hand there to catch it.............big mistake, lots of blood.
Some are a lot sharper than others.

The tips are sharp but I meant the actual 'blades'.  They are not sharp at all.

Yes, I agree.

Damn, they do look like screwdrivers.   Bill T.
