Batteries charged up some, and now you have wonderful pictures, at a high res!
Thats everything I have russian, minus one ammo pouch, and my partisan clothing..

Just need to do some cleaning and shaving, bayonet dosn't fit all the way in, but thats easily fixed in a day or twos work..

And for those who are not in the know of why it dosn't fit...

Oh, and my other pride and joy, is that metal complaint sign..
Ok, now the bad news, the bayonet won't come off at all now, it's down farther then it is in the pics, and is OH so close to being all the way on..
-
I'd suggest you keep that bayonet off and store it in a safe place. You might poke your eye out.
-
Dude, it won't come off...
-
Take a lighter or a candle and heat the bayonet socket.
The heat will expand the steel just a bit and it should slide back off.
-
Yeah, someone suggested Hot Water, debating weather to use hot water, or a candle..
-
LOL, is that what you're going to tell your parents?
-
Umm.. shouldn't the bayonet be below the barrel, not above it and blocking the gunsight?

If it was on all the way, and twisted, yes thats the way it would be, but if you had read the text along with the images, it won't go all the way down...
:rolleyes:

Tried candle, didn't work, tomorrow, going to try blow torch with vice, and nextdoor neighbor...
:D
-
Rubber or wood mallet maybe?
If you don't have one a regular hammer and a soft piece of metal like brass, aluminum or a small block of wood to gently tap the bayonet back off the barrel.
-
IIRC, the bayonet should stick out on the right side ALA most 18th century muskets.
-
What Blooz said. Don't forget the miracle of modern silicone spray on lubricants with teflon in them either. Soak her down before tapping.
-
Yeah, oddly I was thinking of pulling a piece of wood out and tapping on it, and if it comes off, it ain't going back on for a LOOONG time... :D
-
Aren't you too young to have a gun? 16 or something?
-
I'm 16, and I'm a re-enactor, I preserve our military history, and educate others about it...

I was taking my Dads guns(1911 .45 and .357 mag black hawk) and driving myself to the range at 16, the range was cool with it as long as I brought my own ammo.
I was handling guns as young as 8.
My dad never let me have a toy gun. Guns are not toys, and he never wanted any confusion.
My parents trusted me. They were right in doing so. Guns were one area I was always responsible. I loved shooting and did not want to lose the privlidge for any reason.
I think gun ownership for kids really should depend on the kid, and it should be the parents call to make. In Cali it is not anymore. I think they passed a law that puts the mininum age for a kid to shoot a gun at 18? (It has been a while since I read it. I will look now)
Checked, Still could do what I was doing but would need written permission from my parent.

No, its not. Its a MN.
Most muzzle loaders had bayo's extended on the right or left side to allow access to the ram rod below.
IIRC, this rifle is set up the same way.
Hense - 'ala most 18th century muskets.'

Id' think it would be quite interesting to see a large scale civil war re-enactment

Hawklore,
Do you work the Battle of Olustee?
And if so, for which side?
-
Same thing happened to me Hawklore. Smacking it with a rubber mallet did the trick. However, you're going to need a second person. Do not put it in a vise (it will damage it) and do not aim the bayonet at anything important when you whack it.
