Hi,

after a discussion with a friend I'd like to ask out of interest if an Industar(-22/-50) will work with a NOOKY or if the rear bayonet is different. If it's different, can the Industar's bayonet be modified to fit the NOOKY? Or is this a dead giveaway to identify Russian copies?
 
Since I have both (early 30s Elmar & Industar-50) right here next to me I compared them (collapsed) bayonet-to-bayonet. The lugs are the same width, but the Industar lugs are maybe 50% (somewhat thicker anyway) thicker than the Elmar's.

But: I can't for the life of me remember how the NOOKY works right now, so I don't know if that matters. Also, the Industar is a bit longer than the Elmar. Again, don't know if that matters with a NOOKY.
