I made a little bit of jerky sir. However, I made about 25 pounds of summer sausage and salami. I opted out on the hams. I make some killer summer sausage, but this is the first time I've ever made venison salami....keep your fingers crossed!

Not me brother! I'm a retired Taxidermist. I do however do a little WW2 re-enacting on the side. No expert on the subject here! Ya'll teaching me this time! lol!

That is one AWESOME video! Looking at the "flame" coming out of your shotgun, how did you not burn your mug?

Very, very educational. Ya'll forced me to learn something. However, I am sadened by all my "Comrades of the Mother Land" whom had to go without a bayonet in 1942 and beyond, due to a shortage of steel. Apparentely, tanks, bullets and aiplanes was more important than bayonets. Wow! Them poor Red Army Infantrymen on the battlefield without a "harmonic balancer"! I admit, ya'll was right!

Very interesting video. I'm surprised a pellet gun would have such barrel movement. I have a "break action" pellet gun that looks just like that...that's crazy! How in the world? Eye opening for sure!

I find this topic very interesting. What a better way to spend the day, than to research Mosin Nagants, it's varients and issued equipment. Comrade Ivan will be proud!

Nice doe buddy!

I'm not arguing here, but drifting a "front sight" is an old age way of adjusting the windage of many firearms. With that done, i'm still curious about the bayonet usage. Some "shockwave" may be fine for "labatory testing", but albeit every rifle out there has it. I think this subject needs more research. I smell a rat in the grain bin here!

Nice Duck! I can't handle the cold enough to get out and duck hunt....I do miss it at times.

Since I'm new to Nagants, could you please elaberate?

OK, this just got even more complicated. Soviet Female snipers in WW2 shot thoasands upon thousands of enemy soldiers, some of those shot at hundreds of yards. I've researched hundreds of pictures of those snipers "in action", and only a handful had a bayonet. The great Red Army Firearms Instructor must have forgot to tell these snipers about the bayonet thing. That math lesson was too heavy for me!

Still not sure what the "Nazi Skewer" (bayonet) is supposed to do...tighten the barrel? Make the bullet spin? Make the muzzle 2 pounds heavier? What am I missing here?

Welcome to TGO! I will be looking forward to a new gunshop in the area!

I just happened to have a back strap. Gotta work some today, but guess what's for supper??

I agree!

I love making my own Jerky. It's very tedious work slicing it all up. I don't care too much from jerky made from burger, it just ain't the same for some reason. However, keeping friends and family from "snif'n" it out to save until January would be a most imposible task in this household! I'm getting ready to cut up a deer this morning, but don't know how much jerky I'll have. I usualy use the hams for it, but will be curing "Country Hams" from them this time. We'll see what I have.

Dang Brother....You know me better than I thought! Only snarle whenever I think of those "burgers" you cooked at JG's house!

Yoye pedistal mount. Yote Tanned Pelt

Thank you for the compliments Sir...

I'll scan some mounts and get them put on here in a day or two. Been working nights this week, but I'll try to get some up.
