Re: Rifles for Africa, a good video

LRF I agree with you about the pussiafied men of today.

I think he is correct about the African carry method. Yes it can be useful for carrying a 10lb rifle for miles on end. I have tried it and don't like it as 1) as he said you laser people with it, 2) it takes longer to get it in your shoulder then a standard cross the body carry 3) when you enter any form of scrub it is a hinderance. These are just my findings.

I don't agree with his take on the Mauser extractor. Yes they are good and probably the most reliable system but they are not infallible. Just about everything he said wont happen, I have had happen and when you have a double feed with the Mauser 98 system you are in a world of hurt. I would have been much happier if he had said something like, they can fail but very rare, so practice and practice with your rifle, fast and slow cycling of the bolt, so if there are any weaknesses they should show up and you can fix them.

I do think it is a good information video. It would be very rare to have all agree with a single person.
