Congrats Brian! You got a nice price. Wayne

I just hope the buyer didn't focus in on the statement in the description "only 3000 manufactured." Still, a very nice rifle.

Wow Taharad, you have one for everyday of the week!

Good morning and congrats on your new JSAR purchase! My bayonet is unaltered and is actually 11 7/8". Wayne

Welcome Richard! While I don't know if/where blue prints still exist, I sure someone will come by eventually to give you the information you are looking for. As far as this forum goes everybody is very respectful and more than willing to pass on their information and or knowledge. Of all the forums I visit, this is the only one I will post anything because I am not treated like an idiot for asking questions! Again welcome! Wayne

Very good article! This one I will keep with my JSAR!

Hey Brian, Don't know if this helps, my JSAR is 5836 and it is a Chilean rifle. Don't know if the rifles were numbered consecutive or not but this might get you in the right area? Wayne

Numrich has butt plates. Double the price of the one Joseph is selling.

Brian makes a great point which I didn't consider. Why wouldn't the Chilean sheath be rare considering they only bought 900 rifles! I think I will hold on to mine at this point but if you are interested in selling one of the 'regular' sheaths, pm me. wayne

Here is another example of bayonets selling for huge dollars. Glad I've got mine with the Chilean sheath! http://www.jjmilitaryantiques.com/Home.aspx/Catdet/17892?nm=johnson-us-m-1941-spike-bayonet-rare-chilian-scabbard&category=bayonww1pr&bread_last=%2FHome.aspx%2FCatpage%2Fbayonww1pr%3Fpsize%3D10%26sortseq%3DName&category_desc=Bayonets US - WW 1 to Present#.WYMyaLpFwr0

OUCH!!! I'd hate to see your winter temps!!!

Are the Chilean sheaths really that rare? My JSAR is a Chilean rifle and when I bought it, it came with the bayonet with the Chilean sheath. I was always kinda bummed out I didn't have the sheath that most have with their bayonets??

As of this morning, link is working again.

He got top dollar for his bayonet also.

I noticed that. Worked fine yesterday? Couldn't even access their website without the link? I'll keep trying to figure it out

Another possible source is ssfirearms.com. A lot of vintage and reproduction firearms parts. I will also keep my eyes open. Good luck! Wayne

WOW! Just sold for $815!! Makes me wish I had a couple just laying around.

Sent you a PM

Welcome Jason! when your Johnson ejects correctly, how far is it throwing the spent cartridge? Wayne

Hey Bruce, Welcome to the forum! Check eBay and Gun Broker often. I see them often for sale. Also be sure to read the section on bayonets on the main page so you can tell the difference between fakes and real. Wayne

Nice addition to your collections! Congrats!

If you don't purchase this one, keep an eye on both eBay and gun broker. I actually see them for sale often. A couple of months ago, somebody had three for sale. Good luck!

There is a bayonet for sale right now on eBay.

Hey Doug, My rifle is a Chilean purchase and it has the star and Cranston mark in the triangle also. Wayne
