Well if we're going to be here for a few days I figure that a milsurp thread might be fun.

Pic related is an 1888 manufactured Mauser 71/84, Germany's 1st magazine fed rifle. Fires an 11mm Mauser Black powder cartridge. Additional pics show the pretty neato operation of the action and loading ramp. It has a magazine cutoff standard to this era of rifles that prevents rounds from the magazine being chambered turning it into a single shot rifle so as to prevent that retard Hans from wasting all his ammo in one go.

I've had this for a few months now but haven't shot it yet since nobody makes ammo for it, brass costs at a minimum $3 per, I can't find any large rifle primers and I don't have a bullet mold yet
Just got the bayonet for it about a couple weeks ago off ebay, it appears to have been a private purchase but I don't actually know much about military bayonets of the era, I just wanted to pokey thing on the end. The scabbard has worn away but there's enough to rebuild one with enough willpower I think.

Show me your cool stuff anons, I miss 8/k/ dearly and having yet another move, even if temporary brought about by federal dickery bums me out.

The lack of bayonets on modern rifles is a consequence of terrain rather than time. I wait to see what whacky stuff comes out of Asian jungle/forest parts in our lifetimes or if they stick to the essential sharpened bamboo and duct tape.

I have a chink SKS with a fold out bayonet. Seems sturdy despite being chinkshit, should I set up a homemade punching bag or something to scream at autistically while spearing it?

I had enough to buy a crate when I was 19 just from saving up from pizza joint work and various oddjobs. Instead I bought one for $60 and then spent the rest on a laptop that was already obsolete less than a year later. One of my biggest regrets, I could've made something like a $12 - $15k return if the amount that boomerniggers charge nowadays for even the shittiest nuggets is anything to go by.

I miss the juvenile romance of that era of walking into a forest and being able to overcome anything with a $60-$300 rifle and backpack of camping gear.

Scored these buggers today at the local smalltown gunshow.
Left one is Artillery, right one is Infantry from my knowledge.

You can still live that, I hope. 
All repro kit for a 1876 MFG Springfield, with haversack and canteen, 50 round Mills Belt and coatbag. You too can catch dysentery from uncleanable canteens and malaria from open tents just like your great great grandfather!

So, Fellow anons, I got my hands on a real detailed book about German G98s by Dieter Storz. The English translation cost 300$. Highly recommend it, and I will be picking up his edition on 1888s

Its 1898, youve been handed this and told to go sit in a mud ditch somewhere in missouri, youll get your water from the local stream that the cooks just dumped some animal remains into. Chemical cleaning doesnt exist and the only way to really clean something with an opening that small is to dunk it in boiling water. Half the camp doesnt believe bacteria is real so youre told to stop wasting matches, firewood, and water dunking canteens like an idiot.

Damn, at that point literal swamp water might be more sanitary.
