Hey many thanks for putting this video up. (I am pintofshite) . Really apreciate your support, I do have more coming on soon.

You're welcome ...

Thanks for producing them. I know a lot of old milsurp collectors who perhaps don't get out to shoot these old girls a lot, really enjoy the videos.

Regards,
Doug

Thanks, dirtbag!

So how did you attach the camera to the rifle? No permanent mods, I gather?

Keep thinking a video camera might be a good addition, and your video is a definite vote "for".

Thanks mate, I do get flamed a bit for the intro + music, but I have tried to create something different to most of the shooting vids out there.
I have a Harddisk camera at the target end, and a 720p cam which is on my head using a home made strap ( an old Gym heart rate monitor belt!!)
Thanks for watching, more to come soon.

Took a while, but finally noticed that you are another lefty who knows how to "run" a bolt.

I've seen left handed "professionals" on TV who haven't the foggiest idea- they remove the rifle from their shoulder after firing AND operate the mechanism with the off hand.

Also, as a follow-up to the Gew 98 video, maybe a shoot with the bayonet removed. See if it DOES make a big difference.

Haha, I am actually right handed, but I shoot left as my right eye is goofy (since I was a child). Bayo on the end made it harder for sure. I have about 6 more videos coming on this week, 300 & 500 yards with my M1917,Jungle Carbine & S/42G K98. Thanks for your support.
