Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 A video for this? Really? Good Lord. It is my considered opinion that if you are too stupid to figure out how the bayonet goes on a rifle, you probably shouldn't have a bayonet. Or a rifle. What's next? A video showing which end of the gun to point at the target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 There is some pretty strange film on U tube. I believe some of these folks just like to hear their own voice. Most of it must be true, because it is on the internet. Kinda like AS SEEN OF TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Not that it matters much, but he's correct in his statement that they don't always fit. I have one that didn't fit - not even close. But an hour or so with a round file while watching Enemy at the Gates and it fits just fine. By the way... he failed to mention that the bayonet also doubles as a screwdriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Woodrow Cahill, SASS # 54363 Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 It's much more impressive when you've got a company of 100 men drawing and fixing bayonets to their 1853 Enfields. A long gray line with a forest of steel glistening in the afternoon sun, battle flags snapping in the breeze, anxiously awaiting the order to come to right shoulder shift and step forward into glory.

Shakey Merlot Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 Wish they would show some useful stuff, like opening c-rat cans with a bayonet or how to spit a chicken with a bayonet or how to turn a bayonet into a candle holder.

Subdeacon Joe Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 How to sear bayonet skewered chicken kabobs while shooting a black powder match. How gauche'! Everyone knows that one skewers chicken on the ramrod, not on the bayonet. But the REAL question is - can I wear a bayonet hanging down my back on stampede cords?

I had no idea that that thumb button thingy was actually a Idon'tknowwahtchacallit! I now feel it would be safe for me to go out and buy a bayonet and impress the dealer with my new found knowledge!

Robert E. Lee made to Gen. "Stonewall" Jackson upon watching 10,000+ bluecoats with fixed bayonets and officers with drawn swords advancing in line abreast toward the Confederate positions during the Battle of Fredericksburg; "It is well that war is so terrible, or else we should grow too fond of it."

Utah Bob #35998 Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 While on this subject... when's the last time anyone saw a Mosin bayonet scabbard...? They are very rare. The Germans made them for the captured Mosins they had. Some were made by the Russians but not many. It was expected the bayonet would remain attached to the rifle. 19th century thinking. As I recall the German ones were tubular steel and the Russki ones leather. The Germans also made a crude blade bayonet. I imagine they're worth a pretty penny. The Finns did issue scabbards for theirs. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
