M16A4 rifle with M7 bayonet affixed M7 Bayonet mounted on a Mossberg 590A1 shotgun.

The M7 has the same two-lever locking mechanism as the M4, that connects to a lug on the M16 ...
The M1917 bayonet, being a direct copy of the British P14 bayonet, retained the transverse cuts in the grip panels. These panels served to differentiate the P1914 bayonet from the P1907 bayonet in British service as the only difference between the two was the height of the muzzle ring. In US service these transverse cuts served no official purpose.

[2] The overall length of the M6 is 11.75 in (29.8 cm), with a blade 6.75 in (17.1 cm) long.
