New US MADE M6 bayonet with military contract M8A1 scabbard. In 1957 the M14 rifle was introduced to our military and so was the M6 bayonet.

The military contract M8A1 scabbard with its olive drab color completes this fabulous package at a price you can afford ….. Sarco price ! ! ! The friendly price ! !
