Japanese Type 30 Bayonet - Disassembly, deep cleaning and reassembly
I have recently acquired this Type 30 bayonet from a local pawnshop. I noticed it was in need of some help so I took it home with me and found it to be a challenge to bring back to life. There was a lot of pitting on the blade, a lot of rust everywhere and the button was cemented in place. So lets see what can be done to it!
The Japanese Type 30 bayonet was developed in the late 19th century to be equipped on the Type 30 Arisaka rifle. Japan manufactured and deployed this model of bayonet until the last day of WW2. They were used on countless Japanese weapons and are not limited to the Type 30, 35, 38 and 99. Any conflict Japan was involved in, these bayonets were used extensively.
The audio originates from December 8th 1941, the day after Pearl Harbor and the Japanese thrust southward into European colonies. This gives historical context on where these bayonets were used.

The purpose of this video is to help preserve the history of this bayonet and to spread awareness of its upkeep. It is intended to extend the life of this piece of history for many generations to come.

Chinese Type 56 SKS - Disassembly, cleaning and reassembly
In this video I will be disassembling, cleaning and reassembling a Chinese Type 56 SKS. These rifles are often said to be inferior to Soviet designs. However the Chinese manufactured the SKS in greater quantities, for much longer and put them through extensive use. They seem to match and even surpass Soviet SKS designs in quality and functionality.
This particular one was manufactured in 1973.
The audio you are hearing in below order:
1. Report on Sino-India war 1962
2. Opening salvoes in the Sino-Vietnam war.
3. Reports on end of Sino-Vietnam war.
This video is to show the process of disassembly, cleaning and brief reassembly to preserve this rifle and its history for the generations to come.

Italian Moschetto Carcano - Blitz Disassembly and cleaning
This week is a "Blitz" video of me cleaning a Italian Carcano Moschetto rifle I acquired from SarcoInc. The rifle is in good condition, the only issue I have is SarcoInc. engraved their company name on the receiver.
These rifles have a very long history of service in many wars on many continents. They are a fun interesting little rifle with readily available ammunition (6.5 Carcano). This particular one needs the round nosed bullets to properly function.
The audio you are hearing is a British journalist covering the Battle of El Alamein and then the naval invasion of Oran, Algeria. This gives historical context to where many of these rifles were used.
