This is the bayonet for T91 (bottom), issued by the Taiwanese Army. The blade is 8.25 in, shown with a standard US M7 bayonet (top, 1.5 in shorter) .
Taiwanese Army still emphasize close quarter fighting so practice bayonet fighting a lot.
I understand that they also have a version that is close to the M9. Maybe later.
Newly received official T91 Bayonet

Cool dude, I thought they have the newer version but I maybe wrong.
I really don't want to remember bayonet fighting practice at all....

I think it's maybe a standard M9 bayonet but can't tell how it lock into the front sight base.

I'd be willing to bet it's an M9. A lot of the M9s in the US offered by companies like Smith & Wesson, Buck, US Cavalry, etc. are made in Taiwan and have their import marks laser etched there. Not bad bayonets, they use quality steel in their blades and they usually hold an edge well.
As far as mounting if you look closely it appears to attach to a modified piston locking ring and not the FSB, which would be a smart approach as that wouldn't require more than a simple parts swap at the armorer level. Too bad nobody in the CNC community has jumped on this kind of product, it would sell like hotcakes.

When T91 was first announced, there was a M9 type bayonet to go along with it. However, it was never or rarely issued. The above one is for T65K2 originally. Apparently, it continues to be the general issue items. i
The idea of a special piston head for bayonet mounting is interesting, I'll check with my source.

Most likely, most of them continue to use old T65 style instead.

Are the T65 / T91 bayonets marked on the crossguard like a US M7 bayonet is with a designation, maker mark or arsenal mark?
