WTB SKS bayonet needed to restore an ex-CA rifle

[MAC702]

It's a Chinese SKS and the slot in the wood looks like it is designed for a blade, not spike, bayonet.

Sorry. I don't have one for you but...Funny story.

When I bought my Chinese SKS at Woolworth's in CA the spike bayonets were removed because the ATF had come in and said they were illegal. They had a whole box of them on the floor under the gun rack. They wouldn't sell me one.

Later at a gun store I was looking through the bargain bin and found a really clean cruciform SKS bayonet, I asked the counter guy how much the SKS bayonet was and he said "That's a tent spike". I said, "No, it's for an SKS. How much?" He replied, "It's a TENT SPIKE and those sell for $5."
Ding, ding..the light went off and I told the guy "I think I really need a new tent spike"

Receipt said..Tent Spike $5....

probably need one like this?

Blade, spike, cruciform

This is off my early 80’s Norinco SKS-M. Has been in clean dry storage since new.

If you can use it, will trade for ammo or credit towards spring AC check.

So you made me finally sit down and do the research. Found a great page with a pic to confirm that I was wrong in my assumption. I actually do need the spike bayonet! We'll deal!

Chinese spikes came in two different lengths. If MET45's doesn't work I have a spare you can try

Any recommendations where I can find a blade bayonet for my yugo? An sks without a bayonet just feels like sometning is missing

Ebay should have them. They pop up occasionally.
