PROS:
*Nice paint finish.
-Mine came with minimal surface imperfections. Two scratches, which can be seen in my video.
*Blade weight.
-The blade (blade only) weighs 7.7oz, or just over a half pound. The knife as a whole weighs 14.15oz, or just under a pound.
*Full and easy disassembly.
-6 parts in total (excluding sheath) Blade (steel), separate dual threaded tang (aluminum), guard/crosspiece (steel), 5mm hex head bolt (steel), handle (ABS/Polymer), lug clip (steel).
CONS:
*Warped
-The blade edge is very very slightly warped. Might just be mine though.
*Dull
-very dull with a rounded blade edge.
*Chisel style knife edge.
-One side of the blade has been painted to look as if it was sharpened, although it was not. The other side has received some amount of angled sharpening.
*The blade has a threaded, partial rat tailed tang.
-This type of tang is very week.
*The before mentioned dual threaded extension tang that the blade threads into is made of aluminum.
-Very week connection, very easy to strip the threads out (be careful while tightening)
*Lug clip seats loosely.
-Unlike other reviews suggest, this bayonet does come with a lug clip and it will attach to a bayonet lug. It will attach with some wiggle room/play. You may have different results depending on the manufacturer of the bayonet lug on your rifle.
*Muzzle flash hider hole is massive, too big.
- The hole in the guard/crossmember that would usually seat around your muzzle device is massively oversized.
MISC:
*How I corrected most of the above issues.
-I had my blade professionally sharpened, it is cheap steel though, so the edge will most likely not last.
-I replaced the extension tang with a steel tube and welded it to the blade tang, still using the Hex head bolt at the base to hold the unit as one.
-I welded flat steal plating in the hole of the guard and then cut the appropriate sized hole for my flash hider. Had the guard cerakoted after I sanded the welded surface smooth.
