Have alook though these! There are some great pics of Mosin snipers,M38s, M44s and lots of SVT40s

It is neat to see so many SVTs with mosin dog collar slings "I guess there the historically correct sling for the most part"

Certainly looks like it. Russia received a large number of Type 38 from ex-RN stocks. The troops could be either Whites or Reds.

BTW, Federvov designed his Avtomat 1916 around the 6.5x50SR round due to it's availability in Russia.

Look at the odd flash hider on the SVT40 in post 31.

There are images there that look like they were taken yesterday. I just spent 45 minutes looking through. Thanks for the link.

Its a select fire Simonov AVS-36 not a SVT40

Can't honestly say that I know a lot about these armoured trains. Were they just armed cars attached to supply trains, or were they combat purposed packets?

Worst Soviet AF job? Loading party for the TU-2 Shpagin gunship.

Tu-2 Gunship

hmm 8x 11 racks (that i can see) = 88 ppsh-41
71 rounds per drum x 88 = 6248 rounds....
900 Round per minute = that is an area denial weapon if I've ever seen one....

I'd hate to be under when that spent brass started falling...

What on earth is that bolt action with the large magazine on the right hand side of this pic?

 

[drache]

something sitting on his lap that looks like a magazine or maybe a custom piece?

You could get a Gewehr 98 with an extended magazine (not removeable though, just extended internal). Maybe it's sort of like a prototype of that?
