USMC OKC3S Bayonet Leg Strap

USMC Bayonet Leg Strap

A bayonet hung from a belt or vest swings and slaps against the leg every time you move. This strap fixes that. It wraps around the thigh and holds the lower end of the scabbard in place. It is the issue leg strap for the United States Marine Corps OKC3S bayonet system, and it suits Marines replacing a lost strap, collectors completing an OKC3S rig, and M9 owners who want a steadier carry.

Features

• 1-Inch Nylon Webbing — The strap is cut from 1-inch-wide nylon webbing, the same flat woven material used across military load-bearing gear.
• Quick-Release Buckle — A molded side-release clip, the kind you squeeze at both sides to open, lets you put the strap on or take it off in a second.
• Elastic Retention Loop — The buckle attaches to an elastic section, so the strap keeps steady tension on the thigh as the leg flexes.
• Adjustable Length — A slide on the webbing lets you take up or let out the strap to fit your thigh over trousers or bare.
• Generous Length — It measures about 38 in (97 cm) from buckle to tip and 40.75 in (104 cm) overall, enough for most thighs with room to trim.
• Coyote Brown Color — The webbing is coyote brown, a muted tan-brown that matches current Marine Corps gear.
• Lightweight At 1.3 Ounces — At 1.3 oz (37 g), the strap adds almost nothing to the weight of a bayonet setup.
• OKC3S And M9 Compatible — Designed for the OKC3S scabbard, it also fits M9 bayonet scabbards.
• Made In The USA — Ontario Knife Company manufactured the strap in the United States.

Issue Specification

The strap carries NSN 8465-01-507-5635. An NSN, or National Stock Number, is the catalog number the military uses to identify and order a specific item. Ontario Knife Company made it as part of the OKC3S bayonet system it produced for the Marine Corps, so this is the actual government-contract component and not an aftermarket stand-in.
