Making a Bayonet Catch - Mannlicher 95

I found this Mannlicher 95 bayonet for cheap at a recent gun show. It's in poor condition, wouldn't fit onto the rifle and was missing the catch. In this video I fit it to the rifle and make the catch from scratch.

The Mannlicher 95 served as the primary infantry rifle of the Austro-Hungarian Army during World War One. It was introduced in 1895 and was designed by Ferdinand Mannlicher. The bayonet for the rifle is unique in that it has the edge located on top of the blade whereas most bayonets have the blade on the bottom. It has a relatively short blade length for the era at only 9.5".
