Plastic Bayonets?
« on: December 11, 2019, 12:42:56 PM »
Does anyone sell plastic bayonets as an accessories sprue? I find plastic superglues quite well to metal so I find them useful for doing repairs where bayonets have broken off or if I just want to add a bayonet to a musket that doesn't have one.

I think Warlord sells weapons sprues that have rifles with bayonets attached. You could then clip them off. I know they had bayonets separately on some of the Bolt Action sprues but those were in the scabbard.

Hi

For my 20mm Classic Napoleonics I have been using HaT figures and cutting off the bayonets.



There is more info on my blog.

I have numerous spare muskets from Perry plastic ACW and AWI sets, how many would you boys like?

I use those and they work very well and there are plenty on a sprue!

Edit - misread, I use the Wargames Factory now Warlord Games AWI ones.

Thanks for the offer. I have used the bayonets from the Perry AWI muskets in the past but they seem less substantial than their metal counterparts.
