I attended the Wanenmacher Arms Show in Tulsa this past weekend. I had a lengthy list of items most of which I never hoped to see and even hoped less to afford. In the second aisle I found this fantasy item!
Yes, it is a Russian Berdan II bayonet which I had previously pretty much...
It takes more time to form the sabots and cut the paper to shape, but each cartridge when all components are present only take maybe 10 minutes or so to create. Yes, that adds up but it does keep me off the streets!
Sabots for Dreyse needle fire rifle
