"From what I remember, don't you have to watch it with the later pre-bans?"

Watch what, good sir AAABEST? Yes, I have two Olys, one a 16" barrel with birdcage, and the other is an old-style CAR-15 (XM117E2) config. They both have bayo lugs, but I have never mounted a bayo on either. I figure if it's close enough to stab, it's close enough to shoot. $:-)

True enough, but the bayonet lug also makes a nice mounting point for a flashlight for certain nighttime target identification. Indeed, I've been looking for some of the once-common M7 bayonets for the M16 that had been *demilitarized* by chopping their blades off; I'd figured on mounting a section of Weaver mount rail to the bottom of the grip as an interface for the varipus *tactical lights* and lasers now available without mounting same to the sight mount or on the accessory handguards some use for that purpose.

Too, though I don't care much for the tubular-handle FAL bayonet as used on the South African R1 and Brazilian Imbel versions, with the blade removed it makes a dandy mounting point for a detatchable bipod.
