    What were the lengths for the holes you drilled in the clips? I'm having a hard time finding real ones, so it is looking like I'm going to need to make them myself as well.

    They were 1/8" in diameter and just long enough to stick out of the handguard maybe 1/16" to peen over.

    Using blackpowder 45-70 brass would solve the blow-by issues as the walls of the brass are ever so slightly thinner. Haven't looked for it in a few years so i dont know if they're even made anymore. I dont see why not but you know the China pandemic hit and all.

    Kool! I have an old Burnside carbine. It's a rimfire but I would love to make a conversion firing pin to center fire. Your videos have inspired me to research how to make it work. Original purists, don't freak out, no original parts will be modified.

    @rakumprojects Do you take orders? I like to replicate an AR I've seen with wood furniture, for my dad but what I want is no longer sold and I'm having a hard time finding someone capable of making it.

    Just saw an old forgotten weapons about a bolo and bowie krag bayonet. Got me wondering if krag repros exist.

  • @rakumprojects

    Repros of the bowie exist, though they're usually made from a standard Krag bayonet. I don't think I've seen repros of the bolo.

    Yes misunderstood and your video adds to that . The guides where first put on with wedge screws that were then ground flush . Later they used plug welds ground flush . There are German military documents that say this and have diagrams . NO rivets . The Gew-88 was not replaced as the primary rifle by the 98 until 1907 . The Germans used both the old P-88 ammo and the S ammo at the same time . The notch is to clear the old longer P ammo loaded by chargers . The S ammo was designed to be fired in the original Gew-88 , the S stamp just means the rifle was cleared to fire it and does not mean the rifle is a Gew-88 S . The Gew-88 S is different . The movable metal tab in the mag well is the interrupter . You should learn about a subject before youtubing it .

    I think you made an excellent job of the bayonet. I have made a few knives by cutting and grinding the blades as I don't have a forge. I would love to have a go at a Damascus steel blade but I can't justify the cost of getting the stuff together to make it. Polishing the blade does take ages to do and I think even with a belt grinder there is still a lot of hand sanding to get the blade perfect.
