M-1905 Springfield Bayonet

As MANY others have pointed out this bayonet does NOT fit the rifle, I went into this knowing that and hoping to fix it, I have yet to do so but it is what I ordered, the blade is nice just know what you are getting yourself into and dont expect it to work straight out of the box. all this being said if you understand what you are getting it is still a very nice blade.

Great addition to the collection.

Like others have said, Needed a dremel to enlarge the hole so it could fit over the rifle barrel. They make it almost too thin so you have to be careful when enlarging the hole. The wood grips are a bit cheesy and look like it's made in India or Pakistan, which it is. Just order a set of reproduction wood grips from somewhere else. It isn't too bad and I feel like I got what I expected for the price.

Just what I needed for display.
good quality. needed to clean out one metal burr out of bayonet slot for it to fit.

Excellent quality, great reproduction. Took awhile to receive it, but the product was worth the wait

It is marginal as a reproduction, but what can you expect for a cheap price? It requires dremel tool work to enlarge the ID of the barrel mounting ring. The mounting is thin material so careful with the dremel tool. Otherwise, I'm not too disappointed and would recommend this reproduction for purchasing.

Had to file down to fit on my M1903 bayonet lug and used Dremel to enlarge ring to fit around barrel. Now fits great. Otherwise looks great and love the scabbard. The blade is adequately sharp from the factory.

Always a great product and price.will always buy here.

Great reproduction, however it does not fit the 1903 Springfield rifle it was designed for.

When I called customer service a very lovely you lady told me that the bayonet is fine, the rifle is the proplem. She told me that " 1903 is different" so it fits some but not others.

Nothing of course  could be further fro the truth. Every part of my rifle ( made is 1916) is interchangable with every other 1903 ever made.

Any suggestions ?

This bayonet was a very exacting replica that came with the scabbard and ready to fix right out of the box. It compares extremely well to my authentic bayonet and appears as my original probably did fresh off the assembly line. I would highly recommend this bayonet to any collector interested in displaying an accurate piece of WWI equipment.

Great Collection Piece - As Stated - Great Display

Before this item shipped I asked them to check the fit before they shipped it to me, I had the same issue with fit that I had with my long M1 bayonet. When I brought this to their attention they wanted me to pay to ship it back to them for filing., So much for satisfaction guaranteed.

Nice reproduction. Bayonet fits in the scabbard with little rattle unlike the M1 I purchased. I would like it better if it had an edge on the blade. It would also be nice to have the option of a dark blade for the WWI period.

Good craftsmanship, however the socket for the muzzle to fit through was a little small. I'm sure with a little filing it will fit just fine.
Originals would, much of the time needed to be fit to an individual rifle.
Much better quality than other's I've had, would deffentaly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality reproduction.

I ordered one of these  M-1905 Springfield bayonets for my Springfield 1903.  The “ring” was too small to fit on the muzzle and the locking slot, where the catch is was too small to fit the front barrel guard bayonet lug.  It wouldn’t fit my Smith Corona 1903-A3 either.  
After talking to a service representative I wasn’t confident that they understood what the problem was and decided against sending it back, to maybe receive another one with the same issues.   I just ordered another one.  
Well, that second one has the same issues.  I enlarged the ring with a round file, and got a replacement (NOS) 1903 front barrel band to modify to make the bayonet fit, which it now does.    For the A-3 I will be replacing the original front barrel band with a modified (NOS) 1903 barrel band and I’m sure I can make it work like on the 1903.  
“Replicates expertly” and “collector grade reproduction”  I would expect to fit.   On a display, from ten feet away you can’t tell the difference unless you actually try to put it on the rifle.  Otherwise they are very nice, I just wasn’t expecting to have to put work into them.
I also ordered a M-1917 for another rifle, which fit perfectly.

Frank -  We sell hundreds of these yearly and have not had problems.  It appears you have received a defective bayonet.  Please contact customer service at 800-883-0300 so they can issue a pick up slip.

This bayonet does not even fit on the weapon it was intended for. Useless & a waste of hard earned dollars.

A Very Accurately Made Bayonet Which Is Hard To Tell From The Originals. Fits My '03 Springfield Excellent.
For The Price 'Ya Can't Beat It. :)
