The trick is to lightly sand the inside of the bayonet connector with a fine (220 or so) grit sandpaper. That will loosen the fit just enough that it'll go on.

The bayonets were made to go on and never ever come off, thus the extremely tight fit.

Ah it works so much better now, it wouldn't even go on without feeling like i needed to hammer on it. Now it slides on and tightens up just before you twist it to lock it. Thanks the help.

There are so many things I look back on and wish I would have bought some extras when they were cheap.

Does anyone know of some other good forgotten rifles of our past wars?

Yep went to the cheaperthandirt store today to check it out and just happened to have a 91/30 follow me home. You just can't beat a good rifle for $96.34 out the door. Much better than paying shipping and FFL fees. They didn't have the cheapest ammo though 20 rds for $27. Figured I pick up some ammo some where else. The regular price for M44 and 91/30 says is $99. Still not a bad deal. Can't wait to get a chance to shoot it. And does anyone else have some difficulty putting the bayonet on? My dad has my grandpa's collection he brought back with him from WWII so this is my first time to own a old mil surplus gun. If any one is thinking about getting one, you just can't go wrong for 100 bucks.

I might have to go check them out tomorrow. I've been looking for a 91/30, I wonder if they have any more? It would save me having to buy online then pay shipping and ffl fees. Although the one online says they are like new/ unissued. I just want something cheap to have some fun with, just an added bonus that it has some history to it.
