Shotguns and Bayonets?

This is a copy that I built of a USMC Remington 870 Mk 1. These were made in the late 1960's for the Corps. An original one sold for $16,000 at auction a couple of years ago. It will take a bayonet. I used this one to teach a Combat Shotgun Course to the Navy when I was stationed at Naval Station Long Beach.

The ultimate bayonet for the AR or 590 series is the KCB-77 M1. It has a blade that's about 10in German steel. It looks impressive.

I have one but for some reason, the muzzle ring isn't high enough to fit the 590. Works on the full size ARs though. Maybe mine is slightly out of spec...

Not my picture, but this is what they look like.

They are rare, spendy, and I've only seen three in person - The one I have, a Colt marked one and a black one. A local collector died and the widow showed up to sell many years ago. Mine is like the one pictured.
 
I carried a shotgun in Somalia. Bayonet was fixed. Great for crowd control and a surefire way to get some officer to yell at you. Not a Marine officer mind you, but the army ones seemed particularly angry with me at all times. Wussies. They could not understand that us Jarheads did not consider ourselves as being there to hand out candy.
