rifledoc1 Posted December 27, 2013 Share #1 Posted December 27, 2013 Does anyone know the Federal Stock Number (FSN) for the M5 bayonet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted December 27, 2013 Share #2 Posted December 27, 2013 Try the first address on top of this list. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=M5+Bayonet+Federal+Stock+Number Regards, Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rifledoc1 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted December 27, 2013 Lance, Tried that one, and that appears to be the FSN for the South Korean modified/manufactured M5s which is apparently different from the original U.S. manufactured M5s.

militariaone Posted December 27, 2013 Share #4 Posted December 27, 2013 Greetings Shawn, 1095-00-726-6556 is the NSN for the US M5 Bayonet (if you want the original Federal Stock Number, just delete the 00s). 1015-00-336-8571 & 1005-00-336-8568 are the NSNs for the US M5A1 Bayonet (1005-00-336-8568 was deleted). Plug the numbers in here and you will see they come up with the proper designations. http://www.dlis.dla.mil/webflis/pub/pub_search.aspx I have included a photo of an original M5 Bayonet’s packaging where you may visually confirm the FSN on the very top of the data’s list.

rifledoc1 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted December 27, 2013 It is amazing DLA still maintains both the M5 and M5A1 NSNs. I guess there is still a demand for bayonets for ceremonial M1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
militariaone Posted December 27, 2013 Share #7 Posted December 27, 2013 Greetings Shawn, Happy to have been of assistance. I think the continuance of keeping them on the books has more to do with the Foreign Military Sales program, than their need for ceremonial use. But, that’s just a guess on my part.
