Searching for Swedish bayonet

[SmallBoreSnipers]

I have a Carl Gustaf 1902 8mm mauser...

I am trying to find the bayonet that goes to this rifle. So far all I can find on the internet in the M1896 and M1914 bayonets. Will any of these fit this rifle? Can anyone tell me what model will?

I know the 96 won't work. Can't say for certain about the M1914, haven't looked at a buddies in some time, but I don't believe it will fit either.

If you look at these two auctions one for a M1914 and another for the bayonet you will see what I mean.

The mounting looks very similar to the GEW98 or K98 Mauser

Yeah it looks like you're right. Anyone else know??

Are you sure that's an 8mm? I wasn't aware that CG made any 8mm rifles in 1902 (but I could be wrong). To me, it looks like a M96/38 with a M98 style front band and lug. If it was done to the same spec, any Gew98/K98/vz.24 bayonet should fit.

Yup. It's an 8mm. Looking at the pic, do you think any of those bayonets will still fit?

Looking at the picture the vz.24 bayonet looks like it will fit.

Well, I know a K98 bayonet (German style with no ring) will fit. As for the Vz. type, you would have to measure the distance from the rear of the lug, to the front end of the front sight base. Let me know what that is. A quick check on my Vz.24 measures about 125mm and the K98s are the same.
