USGI M5A1 Bayonet
The USGI M5A1 Bayonet is the standard-issue fighting bayonet adopted by the U.S. Army in 1953 for the M1 Garand rifle. It features a 6.75-inch parkerized blade, checkered grip panels, and the larger push-button release that distinguishes the M5A1 from the earlier M5 — designed so troops in heavy winter gloves could still mount and dismount the bayonet quickly. Mounting directly to the Garand's gas tube lug, this bayonet saw service through Korea and into the Vietnam era. A genuine piece of American military history for Garand owners, collectors, and surplus enthusiasts.

Quality bayonet for a good priceGot a new Garand and was looking around for an M5A1, since I already have longer bayonets for other rifles and - while cool - they can be a little ridiculous. The one I ordered was basically brand new since it likely wasn't issued. On top of that, it mounts securely (albeit with a bit of a wobble), and after shipping this was the cheapest price I could find it at (sorry, Ebay and Gunbroker).

M5A1The M5A1 was as advertised. While it clearly was an arsenal refinish, it was in great shape. This is the last version of a bayonet for an M1 Garand.

M5A1 For 1944 Winchester M1 GarandThis is the better of the two Bayonets I have for this rifle. Came with a razor sharp edge on the blade and looks the part for this great rifle. I love it.
