Here's my Israeli Uzi smg with its bayonet. I haven't seen many with one and I have my doubts about the usefulness of a bayonet on an Uzi, but I understand mine is an original. Sadly no scabbard. I have The Book, thank you very much to David for writing it, a lot of useful and interesting information, it was a real pleasure reading it. I found nothing specific about the 097xxx series, would anyone know anything about it please? Production year? Since it has A-R-S, I presume it's an export version?

Nice! Always wondered about the feasibility of Uzi bayonets.

Bayos in stock there expensive!

Wow. I bought one when they were “expensive” at a little over $100. There must have been a batch of surplus that came in a few years later, because I was able to buy another at Knob Creek (from DSA, I think) for around $45 or so.

Surplus being what it is, grab it while you can because it will cost more once they all dry up.

If you're interested in a Uzi bayonet check over on the marketplace at the AK files. Someone was selling a bayonet, a submachine gun length barrel with 1/2- 28 threads and something else as a parts lot for about what they want for just a bayonet. Hell of a deal if you need anything from it.

Found it, the other part was a German lower. Not my ad, just passing along the info.

I'm guessing that the bayonet was probably used as a "come along", to move prisoners along.

The gun is too short to do any actual "classic" bayonet fighting with it.

Or, it could just be a fighting knife that they figured why not stick a bayonet mount on. It's not a big bayonet. It really looks like a WWII sykes fighting knife.

Never underestimate the ability of the decision makers to do things just because that's the way it's always been done. They also made a rifle grenade launcher for it. Even with a bullet trap rifle grenade how far is a 9 mm going to launch it?

The grenade launcher is nuts. Quick search and this japanese sight is the only picture I could find.
Would be curious how well it would work. From my understanding, rifle grenades usually vent off quite a bit of gas in order to lower the volume/pressure down to a useable amount. So the lower gas volume may be good?

Exactly the opposite with rifle grenades. If you have a semi-automatic gas operated rifle they generally have a gas cut off to turn them into a manually operated repeater. They want every last bit of gas going into the system to give it maximum oomph at launch. There are usually special high power blanks used also, unlike the ones that are just cycling the action with the blank adapter. Most of the time there's a warning not to use the grenade launcher blanks with the blank adapter as it will damage the rifle.

Newer grenade designs have a bullet trap in them, you launch them with normal ball ammo.

I've always imagined you put the rifle grenade on the uzi and your buddies all yell look out, he's using the launcher again as they dive for cover. You pull the trigger and you hear a bloomp noise as it launches and lands 5 ft in front of your foxhole.
