British No.4 Spike Bayonet
This is the British Army's No.4 Mk II spike bayonet, the socket bayonet issued with the Lee-Enfield No.4 rifle. A socket bayonet slides over the muzzle and locks in place, so it needs no handle and no separate mounting lug. It suits No.4 rifle owners completing their rifle, collectors of British service bayonets, and reenactors who want issued kit instead of a stand-in.
Features
- Genuine British Army Issue — An originally issued government bayonet with authentic service provenance.
- Mk II Round Spike — The Mk II uses a plain round spike that tapers to a point, a simplified form that was quicker to make than earlier patterns.
- Socket Mount — The hollow socket fits over the rifle's muzzle, so the bayonet sits in line with the barrel instead of hanging beneath it.
- Sprung Locking Catch — A catch on the socket, with a ridged grip surface, holds the bayonet on the rifle and releases it when pressed.
- One-Piece Steel Body — Spike and socket form a single steel piece with an offset elbow between them.
- Blackened Finish — The bayonet carries a dark black finish from end to end.
- Lee-Enfield No.4 Fit — It is the pattern made for the No.4 rifle and is not a fit for the earlier No.1 SMLE, which takes a sword bayonet.
Issue Pattern And Fit
The spike bayonet was introduced alongside the No.4 rifle, Britain's main service rifle of the Second World War, and the Mk II was the simplified round-spike version produced for it. It mounts directly on the No.4's muzzle, which makes it the correct bayonet for anyone building out a period-correct rifle or display. As issued kit, it carries the original manufacturing standard and history that a later copy cannot.

Perfect Match for My No4 MkIIBeen collecting Lee-Enfields for about 12 years and finally picked one of these up to complete my No4 MkII build and man it just snaps right on the lug like it was made yesterday, which i guess technically it was made for the rifle so no surprise there. The original inspection stamps and factory markings are all still there and that alone makes it worth every penny to me. Yeah people call it a pigsticker and honestly thats a fair name but theres something AWESOME about holding a piece of British Commonwealth history in your hand. Only thing i gotta say is it came packed in old cosmoline so plan on spending some time cleaning it up before you display it, but thats just part of the surplus game.
Original factory inspection markings are all present and intact
Arrives coated in old cosmoline grease and needs a good cleaning

N/AWorks well on my rifle

Oh well...After scrubbing off about a pound of cosmoline, I have discovered that I received a No. 4 Mk III bayonet, not Mk II. It is slightly different, with a cast aluminum mount. The worst part...no markings. :(

Works Well!I ordered one of these for my #4 Mark II SMLE form the 1950's. When the Bayonet Arrived, it too was stamped "#4 Mk II"! Although the condition of the Bayonet and Scabbard are not perfect, they're more than functional and the added character is a part of the deal. The price on these are good, buy some for your Milsurp Rifle!
