Big Country Expat (BCE) apparently liked my recent post about bayonets for self defense (and a big thanks to him for the link). In his post--"AWOL Again, Shotguns and Bayonets, and a Crisis of the Spirit"--he delves into mounting bayonets on shotguns. As far as I know, Mossberg is the only company offering shotguns with bayonet mounts: the 590 Retrograde and the 590A1 Retrograde. However, BCE shows off a product from NcStar that provides a bayonet mount for other shotguns. Although the product description says it is for the Mossberg 500, BCE notes that it works with other shotguns and includes photographs of it on a tactical semi-auto shotgun with a Marine Corps bayonet.
I was especially interested in his photographs because I saw a video recently where the host was not able to get some of the bayonets with thicker handles like the M9 and Marine Corps model to fit on the bayonet mount on his Mossberg 590--apparently it was just a bit too tight--and was going to use the M7 because it had a thinner handle.
BCE also discusses the shotgun a bit--a semi-auto model that is inexpensive ($500 at Palmetto State Armory currently) that has done well in durability tests.
Go to his article and check it out.
