From the Vietnam War rifles: M-14 & M-16; the bayonet has a steel ring on the upper hand guard and a notch cut into the rear of the handle. At the command of "Fix bayonets!" Infantrymen slide the steel ring over the flash suppresser and the notch slides into an extended piece of steel which is attached to the bottom of the rifle's barrel. The bayonet is now locked into place.
