Very helpful video, as usual. We ran across probably hundreds of AK bayonets in Iraq, including a large trove of Romanian AKs with bayonets. I never paid very close attention to the bayonet variants, focusing mainly on the small arms and heavier weapons, but I am pretty certain that a number of them had the tan rubber insulators and may have been Hungarian, based on this video. We filled up MRE cases with them and gave them away as trophies to the folks that helped us but didn't get outside the wire. We even sent some to Kuwait to be mounted on plaques for gifts. We saw so many variants that I could never keep track of them. There were East German, Romanian, Russian, Chinese... on and on... and Hungarian, most likely.
I HAVE THIS PARTICULAR BAYONET IN NEW CONDITION , AND ABOUT 80 MORE, BUT YOU HAVE SOME THAT I'VE ALWAYS WANTED, BUT HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN FOR SALE . I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEO'S AND FIND THEM VERY INFORMATIVE AND INTERESTING, PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING....DON'T BE DISCOURAGED.
Hungarian equipment isnt hard to get theres loads of them here in the balkans, what i recommend to you is travel to the balkans and visit some flea markets, so much of the "rare" bayonets are being sold for 10€
@@pointynotsharp8436 also if im correct the rubber part was grayish white like the gas masks but sunlight made them this brownish. I saw old pictures of these when they were brand new and also i saw few brand new ones with my own eyes and they were grayish whitish but it is possible that they were made in brown aswell. I hope i helped you! 😃
@@pointynotsharp8436 No as As I'm aware we only Imported soviet 6H4 bayonets made for SVD's only in small numbers. We didn't buy from any other country. Also the Belt loops were mostly "stolen" by soldiers in the commie era because bottles didn't have covers to put it on a belt only a small carbine to put it on belt loops on their trousers wich was extremly incomfortable and sometimes ripped it off so they took the D-ring belt loops off from unused bayonets in storage and put their bottles on them.

Mine has different wood on it and i have 2
You can't put bayonet on the AMD-65 because of the muzzle break and the fact that it's barrel is too short
Thanks, I didn't know

I got one recently for $40. Not the best deal but
Here in hungary these are stupidly expensive because they are popular
