Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/BlokeOnTheRange Since the Manky Mauser Kar98k had a somewhat extreme extractor that was giving him problems, Bloke took a file and a stone to it. Here's the whys and wherefores of what he did, and a discussion on controlled vs push feed. There's a Lindybeige cameo in this vid too!

Extra video! Swiss bunkers! Bloke and the Chap take their kids on a WW2/Cold War bunker open day in the Berner Oberland, taking in the artillery emplacement in Krattigen, the command post above Hondrich, and the place-to-be-defended-at-all-costs, at Einigen. Lots to interest troglodytes here, and there's some interesting firearms on display too, including an MP43/44, MG11, several LMG25's, a fortress-adapted Stgw 57, and some other bangsticks.
