Is the bayonet used for hunting?

***Willy*** · July 30th, 2009, 12:48

Don't have one. I like the lever action rifles myself.

Drat, forgot the forums aren't letting us attach pics right now

**Cirrus N210MS** · July 30th, 2009, 12:59

nope the bayonet is used for running threw people who brake into peoples homes if they get to close to you

though i dot think they would get that close to you when ur shooting 122 grain hollow points eheh

**Brett_Henderson** · July 30th, 2009, 13:07

Ummm.. an SKS is a semi-automatic rifle

They really are amazing weapons, for the price. Rugged, dependable, and reasonably accurate

Edit: I have what's suggested in this thread's title

**Cirrus N210MS** · July 30th, 2009, 13:07

**EMatheson** · July 30th, 2009, 13:54

Largest calibur projectiles in my house are .177 BBs - and that was an earthquake when my father bought it for me, too!

***PRB*** · July 30th, 2009, 13:55

Rgr "M1 thumb"... It hasn't bit me yet... Seems like that would hurt, as the bolt slams fwd with considerable force!

**BurningBeard** · July 30th, 2009, 15:12

Nice ones Paul!

Some shots from 5yrs ago...I've added to the arsenal substantially since...:USA-flag:

***Willy*** · July 30th, 2009, 16:53

Carried around one of those 1903A3 Springfields in boot camp. Often thought about getting one just for old time's sake.

**Ridge** · July 30th, 2009, 17:24

No autos here, only semis

**GT182** · July 30th, 2009, 18:16

Give me an old Winchester or Remmington lever action rifle any day. I'm sorry I sold my 1935 30-30 94 Winchester and 1100 Remmington before I moved here to DE. All I have now is the Mossburg 152 semi automatic .22LR I got for Christmas in 1961.

**oakfloor** · July 30th, 2009, 18:30

Thats all very nice, now try to buy some 7.62X39 ammo..

***Willy*** · July 30th, 2009, 18:30

Gary, make mine a Marlin! In 44-40 preferably.

**Drzook** · July 30th, 2009, 19:04

I had an SKS for many years; it even had a bayonet. Nice rifle. I just traded it this year for a vintage S & W Model 10 revolver and got about what I paid for it in the first place. Not bad.
So my current guns are:

Ithaca .22 magnum lever action single shot (model 48 saddlegun)
Smith & Wesson Model 10-6 (.38 special, heavy barrel d/a revolver)

I also have a few airsoft guns as well that I use to teach my kids about gun safety and the occasional plinking in the basement (cannot do this with the S&W)

This thread reminds me of something several years ago. I was visiting the Frank Ryder WW1 Museum (that was located in Lake Guntersville, Alabama) in preparation to doing an article for a WW1 website. Frank Ryder and family were killed in an aircraft crash, and there was no one to take over the running of the business. The staff and executors were selling things off, and I wanted to see the museum one last time before it was completely gone. The people were very nice, and I took quite a few photos and bought a few of the paintings that were for sell (though the really "good" ones by Dietz, etc. were well out of my price range). As they were showing me around, they took me upstairs (where all the "nice" stuff was stored) and led me to a closet. Inside were two very nice and serviceable Spandaus. My guide told me that they really needed to find a buyer for these, as they did not have a license to own fully automatic weapons. Unfortunately, I could not help them, and I never mentioned this in the article. The ATF has some very long ears.

But enough time has passed now that I can mention it.

Too bad I didn't have the license then...
