Coffee's on, Up lifting the mug to you and the New Year

[pony express]

Roo, I don't use my pressure cooker for anything but canning. Just looking inside it doesn't inspire confidence to put food directly in it, although maybe some application of vinegar to clean out the lime scale might help.

Slim, I have "real" bayonets for the Lebel and Gras, and a fake  "repro" that fits the '03 and probably also the Krag, but fit in this case is a relative term. As in, I managed to file and weld enough to get it to latch on, but it's pretty wobbly and might not stay on if shooting ball ammo. It did stay on for shooting GAF cast loads. Also, the Trapdoor has one, it's a rod bayonet model.

[Capt Quirk]

All this talk about bayonets has me feeling a little envious. I might have to put one on my Winchester 94.

The subject is Bayonets  Oui ?

Sorry Major but even with a sexy bayonet it's stil an unattractive rifle. But it's French like a Citroen, cest le vi. Pardon my french. Monsuirer.


        "We got guns, they got guns, all God's chillen got guns." But I've got a bayonet too!

[litl rooster]

Major i like the whole gun and bayonet.

Capt Q is your 94 stamped US ?

I'd like one for a AR. Just to have not that I'd ever recover any of my firearms from the terrible canoeing mishap on Lake Anna.

Got one of those AR-type bayonets, got it given to !email a few years ago.  Figure it's my bug out knife if I ever decide to bug out.

Got first coat of oil on the hatchets tonight, went Yuppie and dug underthe bench and found my bottle of Walmart rapeseed oil ala CANOLA oil or as I call it, Canuck revenge.  A little slower drying than linseed oil, but much more water proof.  Saw the other day Homeless Depot has pints of drier, may have to go back and buy a can to spearmint with. 

Need some fiber dics to grind on double bit with.  Stopped at the local real hardware store and my favorite old phart was there.  Always talk to the old phart at the hardware store, they know stuff the kids never imagined.

Where have you unearthed a berthier?  only know a fellow who has one here, and I'm in Europe, and he was missing the clips.

Birds of a feather ...then,  Del ?  
However Spearmint flavor drier in your CANOLA oil    parish the though  


ST - A local collector was liquidating mostly AR's , Ruger Mini 14's and pump Shotguns...
But he did have this Arsenal refurbished Berthier M1892 Artillery carbine Manufacture d'Armes de Chatellerault ,  w/ bayonet still in cosmoline probably done in the 1930's or 50's stored & un-used since .
Chamber was packed with the stuff , as was the bolt & wood under the barrel.
 
I found the 3 round clips on EBay , bought Prvi Partizan Label rounds, the little gun KICKS like an Arkansas Mule !
I've slugged it @ .329 and will reload with and shoot lead.

Commanche Moon and later today the Wild Bunch on GRIT.  Both on my watch often list

[Capt Quirk]

Capt Q is your 94 stamped US ?

I'm sure it is stamped US, but won't swear to it. It is one of the newer 70's models, with plastic furniture and that funky safety feature in the lever. It isn't as sweet as the older models with wood, but it is still a trusty rifle.

I thought maybe you had a Government issue coast watchers/ or jailers model with a bayonet  lug.  Friend has one stamp on reciever and stock U.S.

Funature or stock?   Never seen a 94 musket type with a plastic anything.

That is not the case, it is a plain 30-30 lever gun, no lug.

@ Delmonico, a lot of these were made in the late 60's- 70's with plastic. I hate it. But, trying to buy wood for it would cost me more than I paid for the rifle. Go figger.

[Delmonico]

Post a picture, never seen one with plastic till the 90's.

As for cost about $35 should get you a plain walnut 2 piece stock blank off E-Bay.  Just takes simple tools after that.

[Silver Creek Slim]

Morning y'all.

Couple more inches of the Evil White Stuff overnight, on top of the previous days supply. Secondary paved roads sn*w packed, primary partially covered. Went to town for feed for the cows(slowly). Otherwise enjoying the government jobs holiday.
