Russian Houses don't have celling fans

[kraigWY]

I found out why.

I have a display of vintage surplus rifles on a gun rack displayed with the bayonets attached.

Someone asked me about the firing pin protrusion of the Mosin Rifle. Didn't know so I had to take it off the rack to measure it.

I discovered Mosin bayonets and celling fans don't play well together. However you can play with your M1 Carbine w/bayonet attached without any problems.

So as I was replacing the blades on my celling fans I figured out that Russians must not have celling fans. (by the way, M1917 Enfields w/bayonets arn't much better then Mosins when it comes to celling fans).

Ouch. My dad has a Mosin with a Bayonet like the second one in the pic. It was captured from the North Vietnamese. His bayonet folds back to avoid contact with ceiling fans!

Kraig-
Maybe those crafty Roosians don't attach the bayonet for indoor display racks?

Kinda goes along with eskimos not grilling inside the igloo

Or Native Americans unloading their bows before going in the tepee.

Wait was that racist?

I bet their doorways are taller too because they're always Russian out of the house...

Re: Russian Houses don't have celling fans

Ok, what the heck were they thinking when they mounted a TWO foot long bayonet, were they afraid to get too close?

I know what you mean. I hardly ever put the bayonet on my 91/30. I feel like a Midieval pikeman!
