Buy the whole rifle and bayonet
Adam,
When I was in the gun shop today picking up the 1912 Steyr, I saw three 1891/30 Russian rifles made in 1933, 1938 and 1940 with bayonets on the rack. A careful examination soon revealed that the 1938 and 1940 dated rifles were arsenal reworks and had mismatched numbers. The 1933 rifle had a hex receiver, matching numbers, cartouches in the stock, looked original and the bore was great. It was the cheapest of the three and I bought it. I asked the shop owner to sell one of the remaining bayonets for you, but he declined. All the best...
