Whilst schlepping around the Holdrege gunshow last weekend, I was walking around with my trapdoor as trade bait. Rumor was someone there had an 1866 and I was hoping to draw him out and maybe arrange a swap. Anyhow, as usual, the Saturday crowd was rather . . . crowded. I got the bright idea that bayonet would be nice for clearing a path about the same time a friend said there were some bayonets on the table behind him, and the predictable happened.
I picked up a decent bayonet in a US marked scabbard. Unfortunately, the bayonet only goes on to the first turn: I'm not able to rotate it into place--and who wants to use a loose bayonet for crowd control? Any suggestions for what I should/shouldn't do while getting it to go into place?
Thanks,
Jim
