How to load an extra round into a Mauser Kar98k

Credit goes to Sensation! for showing me the process, as he demonstrated in the previous video. This was just me being ridiculous at the range in my FPS Russia shirt and ushanka. Hilariously, one of the ROs at the range actually did know Russian and thought it was pretty funny. Note to self, next time at least know how to say simple things like ’thank you’ in the language before trying to parody it. LOL! Anyway, the process is simple. If you push the sixth round down and to the left (against the receiver wall), it will push down just far enough that the bolt will not try to pull a round out of the magazine as it slides forward and the extractor will properly slide into place over the sixth round. Go slow, be smooth and don’t force it. Oh, and don’t try it on a Mosin Nagant. The way the magazine on those is designed won’t let you chamber a round with the magazine full. I wonder if it would work on a 1903 or an Enfield?
