http://www.19thcenturyweapons.com/galle ... hnson.html The U.S. M-1816 socket bayonet is for this weapon. => NOTE: The bayonet lug is at the top of the barrel, it looks like a front sight but it isn't an aiming device [see the 5th of the small photos]. The French flintlock muskets from the same period of time had the bayonet lug located under the barrel. In both situations [U.S. and French bayonet lug location] the blade of the attached socket bayonet was on the right side of the weapon. Orita 09/11/08
