The bayonets that were put together in the 2002 time period used the original blades. Most of the ones I've seen have some type of visible flaw, not bad, but enought to keep them from being accepted by the Army. I believe that blades that had been rejected were salvaged and used to build bayonets to be sold on the commercial market.
If someone were to take one of the General Cutlery blades and assemble a bayonet with the correct component parts it would be exactly the same as the ones that were made at the beginning of the contract. The Fastex connector would have to be dated 92.
