M9 Bayonet. On this website you will find the most complete history and description of the M9 Bayonet that you will find anywhere. The history starts with the development of the M9 Bayonet by Qual-A-Tec which later formed the company Phrobis III. Phrobis III was formed to interacted with Buck to make the first M9 Bayonets. Buck manufactured M9 bayonets with both Phrobis M9 Bayonet and Buck M9 Bayonet markings for several years. Over time, Buck managed to get control over the supply of the M9 Bayonet in the United States until Lan-Cay underbid Buck in a key military contract. Lastly, in the 1990s the US Military offered for bid a new contract that was split between Lan-Cay and Ontario Knife Works.
These facts and many more are included throughout this website. The information here has been compiled from numerous "experts" and noted collectors who have aided with the development of the content of this website. This is being shared here as the M9 Bayonet is one of the post popular AR15 parts and accessories sold and available as a military surplus item but yet bayonet identification and M9 bayonet history is often confused. We hope that this website is already the ultimate M9 Bayonet resource on the web and that the tools are here to allow everybody to share their photos, questions, and knowledge.

Sh*tMyKidsRuined is a photo gallery of oopsies, accidents and disasters involving kids and things.
"Sh*tMyKidsRuined was born one morning in early March when my younger son spilled a quart of black paint on our dining room rug. The covered paint can was out for a project I’d planned for the 2 hours my boys were about to spend in pre-school. Leaving it within his reach was a regrettable parenting mistake if ever there were one! I alley-ooped, and the little guy slam-dunked it. SMKR’s mission is comic relief, commiseration and birth control; this is not about blame. If you’re a parent I hope you identify and laugh, and feel just a little bit better that others go through it, too. And if you’re child-free, I hope you enjoy laughing at the miserable, unfortunate things some of our kids have done, and cherish being free from this particular brand of crap. Anyone here to laugh is welcome.
With sincere thanks, Julie Haas Brophy
PS – The only unwelcome visitors are those who are here to be mean or judgmental or offer a parenting critique. This is not the place for you."

The Survival Mom, in her own words:
Deep inside every mom is a Survival Mom whose passion for her family drives her to make the best of the present and prepare for the future. I share that passion along with a long-standing, slightly crazed fascination with natural disasters, survival stories and preparing for the unknown. This drives my husband, the Paranoid Dad, crazy.
I write and teach others about the importance of preparedness and being proactive and share ideas I’ve tried, successes as well as failures.
If you’ve been stashing away a few groceries every week or researching how to make a solar powered generator, you’re not alone! I hope you’ll find reassurance and practical help here on my blog. Our concerns for the present and future can be channeled into actions that will help provide for and protect our families while still enjoying the heck out of life!

The
MT Traffic Incidents Service website has a map that displays the approximate location of recent crash and other incidents as reported by the Montana Highway Patrol (MHP).
Click on a map marker for more information about an incident, or see the table below the map. The default view includes current incidents—those not yet closed by the Montana Highway Patrol.
Use the Search Incidents feature to search for closed and current traffic incidents that occurred within the last 10 days. A general search using only dates will return more complete results.
Note: MHP records for an incident may not include a mappable location. Those incidents will be listed in the table below the map, but will not be displayed on the map.

In their words:
The heart of the
worldbayonets site is the Bayonet Identification Guide. It contains detailed descriptions and over 1,600 photographs of more than 250 bayonets; plus more than 50 frogs and related items. Bayonets are indexed by country and by length, as well as some type-specific pages. I also include a bibliography of the bayonet and firearms reference books in my reference library, a listing of my published articles, and an online library of bayonet-related reference materials.
Over 2,000 pages of information and buy/sell/wanted lists!
