Abstract:
A bayonet mounting fixture can adapt a rifle having a mounting rail to also have a bayonet mount. Previously, bayonets were often mounted to a firearm by passing the barrel through a hole in the guard and then attaching the rear end of the bayonet to a bayonet mount or mounting lug further back. The bayonet mounting fixture can have a forward mount and a rear mount attached to the mounting rail. The forward mount has a round piece that can go inside the hole in the bayonet's guard. The rear mount can have a mounting lug to which the rear end of the bayonet is attached.

Claim (Index 20):
A system comprising:\n a firearm comprising a Picatinny rail, wherein the Picatinny rail is a mounting rail comprising a plurality of recoil grooves; a bayonet comprising an attachment bore and a latching mechanism; a bayonet mounting fixture for attaching the bayonet to the firearm and wherein the bayonet mounting fixture comprises a forward mount and a rear mount; wherein the forward mount comprises a front clamp and a round piece fixed to the front clamp wherein the front clamp clamps onto the Picatinny rail; wherein the rear mount comprises a rear clamp and a mounting lug fixed to the rear clamp, wherein the rear clamp clamps onto the Picatinny rail; wherein the bayonet attaches to the bayonet mounting fixture, wherein the round piece fits into the attachment bore, and wherein the latching mechanism is removably fixed to the mounting lug; wherein the front clamp comprises a front clamp body, a front jaw, and a forward bolt, wherein the forward bolt passes through the front jaw and into the front clamp body, wherein tightening the forward bolt causes the front jaw and the front clamp body to clamp onto the Picatinny rail, and wherein the forward bolt passes through one of the recoil grooves to prevent the front clamp from sliding along the Picatinny rail; and wherein the rear clamp comprises a rear clamp body, a rear jaw, and a rear bolt, wherein the rear bolt passes through the rear jaw and into the rear clamp body, wherein tightening the rear bolt causes the rear jaw and the rear clamp body to clamp onto the Picatinny rail, and wherein the rear bolt passes through another one of the recoil grooves to prevent the rear clamp from sliding along the Picatinny rail; and wherein a bridge is fixedly attached to the front clamp body and the rear clamp body.
