Aside from the obvious feature of being able to bayonet wounded woodchucks [that's a joke, son], can anybody give me any practical reason to go to all the trouble to convert it into a PPB configuration?

My wife's nephew (mine too of course) used the bayonet on his cut down SKS to finish off his first boar. The old boy had drug himself up onto a hard surfaced road before being unable to proceed any farther. They, his Dad and he, used the bayonet because they were worried about over penetration and a ricochet off that hard surface. So you never know. Meanwhile there has been no noticable drop in drive by bayonetings since the AWB and and earlier import ban.

LOL >>>>----->

I have an SKS with an attached bayonet too, and although it's never gotten a real workout, I have often considered that the bayonet would be good as a followup for boar...
