Bayonets

I've been looking for a nice bayonet for my Colt AR and came across this Lan Cay at auction. Pretty sweet setup; built in wire cutter, sharpening stone (though I would never use it), ALICE clip for quick detachment, glass infused handle and scabboard. It seemed to foot the bill for what I was looking for. Then it arrived and seemed too good to be a user.
Plan 2, I started looking for a newer bayonet from the various knife dealers; BudK, SMKW and eBay to name a few. I saw this Colt and it really got my attention. G10 handle, scabboard with pouch and leg tie as well. It is actually 1/32" thicker than the Lan Cay at 1/4" thick and just 1/32" thinner than my Buckmaster which is 9/32". The catch- it has the "C" word inked on the blade.
Due to China's strick quality controls
I had to file the areas around the clip as 2 burrs were hanging it up from clipping into the rifle properly. Wish I had taken some pictures of it mounted but I'll post some soon. Seems to be well made, sturdy and capable of working as a functional bayonet.
