It had tremendous difficulties meeting their production quotas and was dropped from the bayonet program in February 1943, before M1 production began. Wilde Drop Forge and Tool produced an estimated 60,000 M1905 bayonets from 1942 to 1943. Low production numbers make them difficult to find and expensive today.
