Expert Jonathan Ferguson details its construction, its resemblance to AK and SKS rifles, and its historical context. The training piece features a rubberized plunger bayonet for safe practice of thrust, twist, and withdraw techniques, differentiating it from live bayonets used on actual service rifles.
