Russia To Destroy 4 Million Guns

This all has to do with a United Nations small arms reductions programs. Countries including Canada and Russia destroy their small arms (accountability to the UN) and in the mean time upgrade their obsolete weaponary.

No suprlus RC K98's, Mosins, TT or SKS's have come out of Russia. They were originaly Russian Captured arms but held in satelite (Eastern Block) depo's such as the Ukraine. Sadly this is nothing new and has been going on for a long time.

HAHA!! Russia bends to no capitalist pigs! My bet is they are just chucking out junk they had laying around in depots. I highly doubt they are trying to appease anyone.
 
It would be a good way to sell rifles to countries who have an arms embargo...who would notice 10,000 (even 100,000) usable firearms in 4 million?
:popCorn:
 
apparentluy they have warehouses full of cpmpletely junk weapons you wouldn't buy for a buck. The only reason they havn't scrapped them is probably no one got around to it. Junk is junk

And the MKIII Ross`

And the tens of thousands of P14s and who knows what else.

My guess is they will destroy the non-Soviet/Russian stuff first.

That's probably why they're calling them "non-servicable": their guys aren't familiar with them and they have no regular parts supplies.

Of course scrapping perfectly good weapons is also a way to justify spending public money on buying more. They call that "stimulating the economy".
 
Yes: a shame.

Russia has two-thirds of all the Mark III Rosses ever built.

Berdan Is and Berdan IIs: total world supply, apart from a handful that got out in the early 1960s.

Winchester 95 Muskets: still have at least 95% of total delivery. This means about 60% of ALL the 1895s ever built.

And mountains of Mausers: '71, '71/84, '88, '98aZ, 'Gew '98 and all the rest.

Maybe we should offer to buy it all by the ton, scrap price. I'll take a couple of tons of ANY of them; gotta be something I can sort out of that!

im pretty sure these rifles have been sitting in old salt mines to keep them safe. very dry and very deep mines. they are stored in grease so rust will never be an issue.
