The Cold Steel of Persia

BattleRifleG3 · 07-21-2004, 01:23 AM

At last weekend's gun show, I had the opportunity to buy FN sword bayonets for 98 Mausers. I've been looking for the longest bayonet possible, and had settled on the Persian offered at FAC, but they were backordered and I had no idea how long it would take them to get them in. Well something kept stopping me from picking up the FN bayonet, and today I was thankful I had not, because my Persian Mauser bayo finally arrived in beautiful condition.

With this bayonet, my Czech M98/22 is now as tall as GunGeek. Some day I'll have to get a full length Brown Bess to compare.

The latter pic begs to be doctored with an annoying cartoon character on the blade.

You'll put your eye out with that thing!

Does anybody else think he's flipped his lid?

yeah.

That's pretty cool!

I'm still anxiously awaiting the arrival of my 98/22, also an original 98/22 bayonet. Those aren't nearly as long, though.

holy poo BRG, that thing is long (she said).

Anyway, I just got one and it cleaned up pretty well. I'm wondering if the 98/22's original color has that greenish tinge & not like some other Mausers like the K98 (looks like yours does too) ? What wood is it & what color is historically accurate ? Also, where can I get the right sling ?

This clearly shows why they outlawed the bayo lugs on the AWB. Too many drive-by bayonetings!!

Hehehe.

He looks drunk...

or under the influence of another slightly illicit substance

that mauser's now a good dangerous game rifle. If a bear charges you you can give him a persian reception.

isn't that what the knights call jousting ?

^^^ Good one Logansdad. But technically jousting would require a lance, and a rifle with a bayonet attached is more of a Glaive/ or a halberd, infantry man's polarm.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that any people you meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.
