Скачать или смотреть Preserving a Norwegian M1916 Bayonet

The M1916 bayonet was an improved version of the M1913 bayonet with fuller as the major change. The M1913 ran all the way to the tip and the M1916 stopped for about 7cm from the tip, from there the tip had a double edge. The M1913 also had a leather scabbard as did the first 3.720 M1916 bayonets.

The M1916 bayonet was made for both the M1894 rifle and the M1912 Carbine. To tell which bayonet was issued to which rifle is by serial number only, bayonets 121.000 to 152.000 were issued to the M1894 Rifle. So the one in the video with number 128.930 was issued to the M1894 rifle too.

During the German occupation a number of M1916 bayonets were shortened and blued. Also the Germans ordered 34.400 M1894 bayonets which was a double edged shorter version with no fuller of the M1916 bayonet.

After the war these M1894 bayonets were outfitted with a muzzle ring which fitted the US M1 Carbine.
