A bayonet mounting fixture can adapt a rifle having a mounting rail to also have a bayonet mount. Previously, bayonets were often mounted to a firearm by passing the barrel through a hole in the guard and then attaching the rear end of the bayonet to a bayonet mount or mounting lug further back. The bayonet mounting fixture can have a forward mount and a rear mount attached to the mounting rail. The forward mount has a round piece that can go inside the hole in the bayonet's guard. The rear mount can have a mounting lug to which the rear end of the bayonet is attached.

A retractable bayonet that can be removably coupled to a firearm or used alone. The retractable bayonet includes a housing having a first side, a second side, an internal channel, a slot having first and second ends, and first and second opening; a blade configured to be displaced between a retracted position and an extended position along the internal channel within the housing; and a fastener secured to the blade and configured to slidingly engage with the slot. When the blade is in the retracted position, the fastener is positioned at the first end of the slot and engaged with the first opening. When the blade is in the extended position, the fastener is positioned at the second end of the slot and engaged with the second opening. With one-handed operations, the bayonet can be extended or retracted when not in use.

A double-action bayonet platform is an apparatus used to position a rapidly deployable and stowable backup weapon onto a firearm, constituting an improvement upon existing static bayonets. The double-action bayonet platform utilizes a carrier body, a blade member, a blade actuating mechanism, and at least one weapon attachment mechanism to mount an automatically extendable and retractable blade to the fore-end of a rifle as a modular attachment to any weapon accessory rail systems. The at least one weapon attachment mechanism is externally connected to the carrier body to enable the user to attach the carrier body to a weapon. The blade member is slidably mounted into the carrier body and is operably engaged to the blade actuating mechanism. The blade actuating mechanism is configured to bistably traverse between an extended position and a retracted position, enabling a used to rapidly deploy or stow the blade member as needed.
