Kalashnikov Bayonets of the World

Here's one that it took me a while to find. I've had lots of Eickhorn bayonets, but this is the only one that I have ever found for the AKM

Very nice. They are extremely hard to find. Took me over ten years to get my hands on one.

I also have one of these AKM Eickhorn in my collection.
I also have this spec sheet of the Eickhorn in my collection:

Hello Grardus - it's been a while since we have corresponded. Very interesting spec sheet for the KCB 77 M7. I've only seen a few of these bayonets in person, but one observation I made is that every one of them had a red screw in the grip, like the example Roger shows. The spec sheet clearly shows a black screw in the grip. What color is the screw on the bayonet in your collection? Bill

Hello Bill, it has been indeed a while since we have corresponded.
My Eickhorn has a black screw in the grip:

Is their a rifle that mounts a bayonet that Eickhorn doesn't produce a variation of the KB77 for?

Some nice Eickhorns guys.

Hi guys!

Could you estimate approximately this bayonet?

Thanks

You mean the value? I personally have no idea. Maybe $200 at a guess?

Nobody else have an idea of the price of this kind of bayonet?

:(

Sorry, but I rarely answer when someone asks what something is worth. Nine times out of ten the question is asked for one reason; someone wants to sell something and is afraid that they aren't going to get top dollar for their item. Forgive my cynicism, but I've been doing this for a long time and I can't tell you how many times a question about value is answered and two or three days later the same item shows up on ebay.

I just want to buy this bayonet and i need an idea for the price that i can put in...

I paid $250 for mine about a year ago and was happy to get it.

ok thanks for the info

Could this bayonet really fit an AKM or an AK74?

Because on modellkm87 pictures, it seems that the bayonet is not totally in place on the bayonet lug?

I believe it does. The picture is deceiving. Also note that the catch is much thinner/flat shaped on this design so it appears it is not all the way on the stud. Notice that the Eickhorn literature/ specification pages specifically mention AKM - AK47 - AK74. However, I do believe that the AK47 is mentioned in error as the bayonet will not mount on a standard AK47. During the time period this model was produced, Eickhorn made up samples of different versions of bayonets & scabbard to fit most of the military rifles available on the international market at that time. They were attempting to gain large contract sales on that market. These bayonets are featured in several AK references as non-Kalashnikov designed items. Mike

Could someone post the KCB 77 M7 bayonet fixed on an AKM please?

Because i tried with an AK74 and it doesn't fit... I have no AKM to try...

First pic in this thread?

it's not really an AKM, certainly a civilian chinese T56 with vented gas tube and AK type III gas block modified with bayonet lug

But don't worry i found what i was looking for
