Bayonetfästen

Bayonetfästen, also known as bayonet lugs or bayonet mounts, are a type of weapon attachment used primarily on rifles and carbines. They are designed to allow the user to attach a bayonet, a close-quarters combat weapon, to the rifle. Bayonetfästen are typically mounted on the underside of the rifle, near the muzzle, and are secured by a screw or other mechanism. They are commonly found on military rifles and carbines, as well as on some civilian firearms.

The term "bayonet" originates from the French word "baïonnette," which refers to a type of sword used by French soldiers during the 18th century. The bayonet lug was first introduced in the late 19th century, and has since become a standard feature on many rifles and carbines. Bayonetfästen are typically made of metal, such as steel or aluminum, and are designed to be durable and reliable in combat conditions.

The use of bayonetfästen has declined in recent years, as military forces have shifted towards more specialized close-quarters combat weapons, such as knives and tactical flashlights. However, they remain an important feature on many rifles and carbines, and are still used in some military and law enforcement applications. Bayonetfästen are also popular among civilian firearm enthusiasts, who appreciate the historical and practical aspects of the attachment.
