Misfit 45 Posted May 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted May 7, 2011 I have a Buck + USMC M9 bayonet. I noticed that it does not have the normal slotted allen screw, but rather has a un-slotted allen screw. It is the same shape and configuration as the normal screw (I took it out and compared). Also, it is not parkerized. The bayonet is said to have come straight out of Camp LeJeune, NC. Do you think this is a replacement screw, (not likely by the USMC), or, do all or some of the Buck+ USMC M9s have this different screw?

Still-A-Marine Posted May 7, 2011 Share #2 Posted May 7, 2011 It is correct. At least mine is the same. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted May 7, 2011 It is correct. At least mine is the same. Bill I'm glad at least one other USMC M9 is the same. It sure seems odd though; isn't the purpose of the screw driver on the end of the scabbard to take apart the bayonet for cleaning? Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayonetman Posted May 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted May 8, 2011 Don't know why they differ, but mine came from a Marine sale and it is the same as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casca174 Posted August 14, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2020 It's quite possible that the cutter plate/pommel screw may have been changed out at a maintenance level with a non-standard slotted version but the original USMC/Buck+ M9 Bayonet screw was a no-slot stainless steel screw. Based on your picture ... yours looks correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted August 15, 2020 One thing I did not mention, 9 years ago, is that the screw is totally non-magnetic. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactroop Posted August 16, 2020 Share #7 Posted August 16, 2020 Add another M9-USMC/BUCK+/USA to the list of no slot and non-magnetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
