The picture you're talking about on Amazon is also incorrect. Guns with 16" barrels and a carbine gas system cannot properly mount a bayonet, I think you need a 14.5" barrel with flash hider so the ring on the bayonet is around the flash hider snugly when the pommel locks into the lug on the sight. Real M4s are not 16" barrels.

Otherwise the bayonet's ring is around a smaller diameter and can rattle, mark up your barrel, and won't be as secure.
