British Army LA31 Bayonet for the SA80 – Unopened MOD Packaging

British Army LA31 Bayonet

Original 1995 British Army Bayonet in Sealed Issue Packaging

The British Army LA31 Bayonet represents the final evolution of British military bayonet design for the SA80 rifle. Forged as a single-piece construction, it features a hollow ribbed hilt that locks securely over the rifle muzzle for a precise fit. Meanwhile, the 178 mm blade combines a strong single edge with a clipped point, a short fuller, and a double-edged tip for added versatility. In addition, the wire-cutting aperture and serrated section reflect its practical battlefield role.

Remarkably, this example remains factory fresh. It stays sealed in its original issued polythene bag, while the blade remains protected by the original oiled cloth. Furthermore, the intact Ministry of Defence issue label dated 1995 confirms its untouched condition and enhances its appeal to serious collectors. As a result, this British Army Bayonet stands out as an exceptional investment and display piece. Whether added to a military collection or preserved as issued, the British Army Bayonet offers outstanding originality and authenticity.
