C500 Posted April 25, 2019 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2019 I bought a fist full of US socket bayonets at a large estate auction of firearms. I will try to get some pictures up. But one I assumed was a Trap Door Springfield bayonet has a much smaller then standard socket. It probably would drop right on a .30 cal trapdoor. If one existed. Everything is identical to my 45/70 socket bayonets. Size, shape, tip etc. it is 100% unmarked but shows a little wear. Anyone know of a smaller caliber trapdoor or similar foreign socket bayonet? This auction had boat loads of very rare 1700-1903 weapons so it would not shock me if it also was obscure or rare. Thanks for any ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT CHIP SAUNDERS Posted April 26, 2019 Share #2 Posted April 26, 2019 No Expert . I am in the collecting desert here in Phx . Do you think it could fit on a Remington RB Rifle" . I know many were fitted for blade bayonets, and this was a cheaper alternative . 7 m/m ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misfit 45 Posted April 26, 2019 Share #3 Posted April 26, 2019 Wild guess. Remington export bayonet. Along with pictures, give measurements. Length of socket, inside diameter of socket, length of blade, and muzzle length ( that's the measurement from the front of the socket to the opening of the slot). Some of us might find a bayonet in our archives that comes close to these measurements. Marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C500 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted April 26, 2019 I will get those tomorrow! My friend has a couple 7mm RBs I can check on. When you say export you mean for maybe the Argentine RB? Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
