Yeah, it probably doesn't look right without a bayonet. But that is the stance I learned for advancing on targets w/ a bayoneted riffle.
Note the sling placement in the 2nd & 3rd pics. The sling braced on your left arm ties the riffle to your arm for stability, thus accuracy. It should be back up, looping behind my left elbow more to lock up tight in the 2nd pic..
It also keeps it attached to you during bayonet fighting if you should end up playing tug of war.
The right elbow up puts you in the right ergonomics for a quick bayonet strike, if caught off guard. The sling braces the rifle enough to my forearm to compensate for my right arm being up like that.
This is becoming a lost technique for using the 2 point sling. I always use 2pt. slings for this very reason. It makes standing & shooting much more accurate for me.
I guess this shows how old the guys who taught me to shoot were... WWII
I really do need to finish the AKS-12 conversion & make the Plumb bayonet fit.
As for one eye closed, I see double when I look through the sights with both eyes open.
I also really need to get my AK sights put on, to tighten the sight picture for slugs. The factory set has the flippin "grand canyon" in the back & a "needle" in front. @ 50 yards I am getting 8-10" groups w/ riffled slugs, but I am sure I could do better with tighter sights.
Note the "made by me" recoil pad... I need to get a real one, as a AK takeoff stock hurts a LOT without them when shooting 3" magnum slugs.
Did that "training" you received also teach you that awesome trigger control? Or is that just for the sake of posing?
I hope for the sake of whoever is taking the pics, that's a bolt face I see in at least one of those pics.
Other than that, nice looking weapon!
I said "taught". By putting quotation marks on your word "training" you imply that I said that. I did not. I WAS taught, & now I DO train. There is a difference. It's Ok. I'm just clarifying though.
As evidenced by the firing pin in the center of the bolt face, Yes, completely unloaded. I even dry fired before that shot.

As far as I go up into the end of the world to shoot, there is no room for fuckups.
No cell signal, No ambulances, No cops... No Shit.
I would however recommend learning how to stabilize a long gun with a 2 pt. sling to everyone. Unless you want to drop to prone, or sitting every time you make a shot, it could GREATLY improve your accuracy.
Also in a true SHTF situation, knowing how to properly utilize a bayonet is vital.
I need to get a tripod because I want to take some pics of me advancing on the camera while firing.
I will use an old camera, just in case my aim is off, but I will be firing VERY close to the camera, just because I am curious to see what the last thing someone would see is.
