WTB: G3 Bayonet

[Patria Povo]

As much as I love RTG's stuff, the bayonet being such an impractical rifle attachment, I'm looking for something cheaper. Used would be fine.

Any leads or sales pitches welcome!

Would a cetme bayo meet your needs? There available for around $10-15.

Numrich has them brand new for $31.45

Numrich G3 Bayonet Link (http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=730690&chrSuperSKU=&MC=)

http://www.robertrtg.com/g3.html has the best price that I have seen on the adaptors $18 each.

Yeah, the Numeric price is right, but the two I got were pretty used... I got two nice ones from this guy three months ago: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=73973136 for the same price he's listing now and they were new. $40 ea.
I've gone on and made four other purchases from him for other HK parts. All new or only slightly used. Best price I've found for a lot of HK stuff.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I got an bayonet lug from Robert last year. The CETME bayonet looks a little more 'practical', though I'm not sure the lug/ cleaning-kit tube wound fit the later-style G3 cocking tube. Anyway, I ordered a G3 bayonet from Cope Dtistributors for around $30. I'll letcha know what it's like.

Yeh, thhat's the place that was advertising genuine ex-South African/ Angolan 30rd G3 mags, a few months ago. Maybe I shoulda called them.

ok ,,the bayo came yesterday,,,very nice i am very pleased ,, park on the blade is 100% not a mark on it,,, the sheath shows some wear like it has been carried,,, but over all it is in great shape,,, for 25 bucks i'm very happy,,,,and it looks great on my g3 too,, and yes these guys have some 30 round mags too,,, if i remember they were advertising two different ones,,, well they had two different prices YMMV

They still have the SA mags? I noticed they stopped running the add for the good ones, so assumed they just had those dodgey M14 mag conversions you see all over gunbroker left.

[ocharry]

ok the last add i have for them is june 20,,, and they have the bayos #wc-107 $24.95 and hk91 south african 30 rnd original mags #wc-197 $39.95 and they also have 30 rnd mags for $18.95 BUT it does not say original just hk91

hope this helps

Thanks ocharry!

I just found the mags on their website (they are listed under HK91 and not G3).

I've ordered the SA 30 rounder - these were apparently made by the South Africans in the 1980s for their allies in Namibia or Angola. Hopefully the quality will be good.

The other mags are BAD quality US converted M14 mags. I think Longhorn has some horror stories related to these.

Anyway, I'll post in a seperate thread when mine arrives :)
