MHG bayonet worth $4K? Not having much luck doing better. More than I want to pay.

If you want my opinion (which is worth as much as a bucket of warm spit), that's nuts.

They say everything is worth what somebody would be willing to pay. I would not be willing to pay anything near that price. I would be happy just having the gun and if a missing part got that nagging then I would seriously consider selling it. I don't know what you paid for the MHG but would a 4K bayonet add that much more value to the gun? Hmmm??? However, if you just want it to have it ,and it doesn't require selling off the south 40 or the kids to medical science, then go for it and don't look back. Just my 2-cents which when calculated for inflation holds little value.

Those bayonets were in the $2000 range 20 or 30 years ago. I think that price was set more by the bayonet collectors than the Savage rifle collectors. Guessing it is the reverse now days.

That's the same statement I get from my wife when I return home from a gun show with something new.

I've been chasing after US milsurps for 25 years and have yet to buy a bayonet based on the prices set by the bayonet collectors. I figure bayonets are something you go after only when all other aspects of the collection have been fulfilled. And that hasen't happened yet.

What the hell! It's just green paper. Grab it if'n you want it. You could always sell it if you changed your mind. How long will it be before you stumble across another one?

Just my 2-cents which when calculated for inflation holds little value. I paid less than $3K for the MHG. I just saw a completed auction for a rifle and bayonet for about $5500, plus auction fees iirc.

To play American Pickers here (that name always reminded me of the kid who couldn't stop picking his nose), I guess you could come close to bundling it all together and having something that is worth moe than the sum total you paid for its parts. I would donate it to a museum and then take 10K off my taxes. Or just keep it as a score in the Holy Grail department. Do you want to sell the gun or keep it for bragging rights? And I certainly mean no disrespect in the latter. I would brag about my collection but it contains so few logs for stoking that fire.
