Wartech M-9 Bayonet (S-3039-BK)

This bayonet is everything I ecpected. Well worth the price. Great sheath and nice and sharp blade. ( I made it much sharper.) I am not going to beat this to death but it is still very capable. Get one!

Original: The knife came dull and has some defects, like pitting in the blood groove and also there were some burrs on the spine that I had to file off. Overall it looks cool but the blade doesn’t seem to be able to hold an edge and I really hate the pitting in the blood groove. Might return or might just get a more expensive one idk New review: upgraded to 5 stars, I returned the other knife and got a replacement, very quickly I might add and it is flawless! Everything looks like it is 10x better, the sheath has a richer color and seems to be better quality and thicker, harder plastic. The knife is flawless and came very sharp, the black color of the hilt where the bayonet ring in is smaller (it’s a good thing) and darker. It seems like maybe luck of the draw I guess when it comes to QC could be bad or good but I’m really happy I got a good one. The other one didn’t attach to the bayonet lug tightly and rattled bad despite having the adapter on it and this one fits tight and doesn’t move at all. Love it!

Bought this as a backup/ beater to my Authentic M7 bayonet. Its a decent knife but if you're looking specifically for a knife, there are better options at this price range such as the glock field knife. I was looking specifically for a bayonet so that's why I grabbed this one. Out of the box it is not dull but also not very sharp. The barrel ring needs some sanding with a dremel to fit a mossberg 590A1. Also the bayonet lug clips are a little sticky at first but smooth out after putting it on and taking it off a few dozen times. Wartech should chamfer these so you can just slip the bayonet on instead of depressing the clips to fix the bayonet. I spent about an hour working the blade on a whetstone just to get a decent edge. Wasn't able to get a shaving edge on it though. The sheath that comes with it is pretty nice. Only complaint with the sheath is it only has a little retention. The buttoned strap is the only way to secure it 100%. All in all it's not a bad deal but you get what you pay for. I would not rely on this with my life but it is cool looking and somewhat functional. I would recommend if you understand what you are getting. An authentic M7 or M9 would be much better for extreme usage.

I don't think I have written more than 2 reviews in all the years I have been an Amazon client. I am an old school rifle and bayonet marine as I trained on the M-1 in Paris Island in the summer of 1961. Have worked with a number of rifles from a number of countries. I recently bought my first Mini M-14 and quickly bought a Mini 30. I love those two rifles. I gave away my Ruger AR15 and SAFAR as they are neat but just not the right rifles for me. I bought this bayonet for the Mini M-14 based on the only review that mentioned putting this bayonet on a Mini 14. The reviewer said he had to adjust a screw and it would work just fine. I am used to dealing with new rifles and other like weapons and bought the bayonet as I could not see paying $100 plus dollars for an old carbine bayonet. You need an aline wrench to loosen the screw at the tip of the handle. I wiggled it around a little and found a fit. I left it loose and added gun grease and worked the locking mechanism about 50 times and then tightened it as much as I could, still allowing enough slack to slide it on and off. It will take more time to play with the mechanism as it is a heavy duty knife put together tightly. What is not mentioned or I did not see was the mention of a sharpening stone and a pouch that a carbine or M-1 oiler can fit into. I don't know how they can put together such a knife/bayonet at such a price. Once we get passed the Christmas snowbirds with their new toys, I will take it out to the range and see how the Mini 14 fires with this attached.

Great bayonet knife. It fit on my NcStar bayonet lug for my maverick 88 with no problems. However, when I upgraded to my Mossberg 590A1 with factory lug I did have to Dremel the ring on the knife out just a little to get it to lock in place. I still wouldn’t trade it in though. The quality and durability is fantastic! The design of the sheath is great with a sharpener and wire cutter built in. The weight is also well balanced. It truly looks like it hold up to anything you might throw at .

I love it

Does not fit either of my Mini 14’s. It seems the barrel hole is too small for the flash hider. It goes over but there’s not enough wiggle room to line things up. Will be returning. Edit: I was able to loosen the catch screw and align it with the barrel hole and it now fits. I’m bumping up a couple stars.

Once again I purchase a Chinese knockoff of an M-9. Big difference this time it's for a friend that likes the overly aggressive sawback unlike me, I prefer the early Phrobis contour. Once again the ring for the flash suppressor is a smidge too undersized. No problem, after four others it was a two minute fix. What surprised me was the handle was actually the right size. WOW! I didn't have to add a spacer and it fits a standard A2 with no issues now. If you can't handle a dremel it's a solid four star though.
