It's placed on the wrong side for retention while using it as a knife.
It's got nothing to do with it being used as a bayonet.
I found a theory online (so it has to be true) that its to keep your hand from slipping when using the bayonet and scabbard as a wire-cutter.
That makes a degree of sense. A small degree.
What I lack is any documentation from a Pact country about the bayonet's use. There's a dearth of it because it's always in
Does anyone reading have an OEM manual?
Update:
There's a collector's book on the topic of Kalashnikov bayonets. Anyone feel like buying it for me?
