Product Description

The Avtomat Kalashnikova AK-47 assault rifle was introduced during a period in History when the bayonet's future was in debate. In the decade following the outbreak of the WWII, most of the major powers produced an infantry rifle without the ability to mount a bayonet. Without a single exception, every one was redesigned to accept a bayonet or or replaced with a rifle that did within a few years of its introduction. The AK-47 was Russia's entry in this debate, being designed without the intent that it mount a bayonet. Having a change of mind, rather than add a bayonet lug, the Russians opted for a bayonet that did not require one. The AKM rifle was introduced in 1959. Among other things, the updated AK-47 variant included a bayonet lug and the inclusion of a bayonet lug allowed for a more conventional bayonet. However, the new bayonet AKM Type I & II design, was far from conventional. It was as groundbreaking as the Kalashnikov itself. It incorporated a number of features, making for an incredibly versatile bayonet. The one-piece molded plastic grip & pommel; and stainless steel blade made the bayonet impervious to rust and rot. The unfullered clip-point blade had sawteeth along the spine. The steel scabbard body had a lug at the point that engaged a window cut into the blade, so that bayonet and scabbard could be combined as a wirecutter. The scabbard body had a rubber insulator, making it safe to cut electrified wire. The belt hanger was a clip-on affair that was cheap and easy to replace. A retention strap was also included, for extra grip when using as a combat knife. A truly revolutionary design that continues to influence bayonet design to the present day.

This kit contains all necessary parts for assembling ONE bayonet under 1/15 scale, to be used with 120mm scale figures. Any extra diorama accessories are not included and should be purchased separately.
