Experimental bayonet for Lundin semiautomatic rifle
In
the late 1930s trials were performed with different automatic
rifles, and among them was the rifle designed by N.F. Lundin.
Nils Lundin was an engineer at the Carl Gustaf Rifle Factory, maybe the best known engineer.
In
the 1930's he designed the automatic rifle m/36L system Lundin. (The
rifle showed athe the former Vapentekniska Muséet was designated fm/40)
This bayonet is a bayonet m/1914 but with the muzzle ring replaced by a T-slot.
The Infantry Shooting School ("Infanteriskjutskolan") tested the rifle with great success. The report stated:
- the construction was easy and reliable
- the accuracy was good
- it was the best automatic rifle yet tested!
