Let me start by saying I still know little about the AK that I recently purchased so I appologize for asking what is likely a dumb question.
I purchased a Yugo Underfolder. It has a slant flash hider installed. The locking pin orients the flash hider in such a way that the more open side of the slant is towards the top of the rifle (although a little off center).
The rifle has a bayonet lug so I tried to install a bayonet recently. It installs no trouble, but if I try to put the steel sheath on the bayonet it hits the flash hider!
If I turn the flash hider so that the more open side faces downward (towards the bayonet) the sheath goes on fine. The problem there is, of course, that the flash hider is no longer locked by the pin.
Am I missing something or do I just have a bayonet that is incompatible with my rifle?
I bought the bayonet used, but it looks like this one:

Thanks for any help.
