The M1917 bayonet was designed to be used with the US M1917 Enfield .30 caliber rifle, as well as seven different models of U.S. trench shotguns. The blade was 17 in (43 cm) long with an overall length of 22 in (56 cm).[1] It will not fit the M1903 .30 caliber (Springfield) or the M1 .30 caliber (Garand) US service rifles as they have different bayonet ring (barrel) and attachment stud dimensions.
