Same thing, different languages. My 1861 (U.S.) Army Field Manual explains how to properly "stack arms", bayonets attached, using a "stacking ring".
Craig Montgomery Tucson *************** Yep, it was still "stack arms" when I was in the Army 120-odd years later. No stacking ring though, you used the sling, but an M-16 ain't no Springfield.
