Russian AKM 6X4 Release Button Variations
Posted: Sat Jun 20, 2020 2:09 am
Here is yet another minor variation to look for on Russian AKM 6X4 bayonets. Some of the catch release buttons have a beveled edge at the end. The ones with the beveled edge seem to be somewhat rare. I do not know when or why they were used, but they can be found on both Izhevsk and Tula bayonets. Perhaps they are a repair or replacement item!? There is an illustration showing both versions in a recent Russian reference book. Mike
