The story is that this is in a Latvian museum and this "firearm" is from the Russian civil war. Evidently bubba gunsmithing happens on several continents. I'll guess it may have a little muzzle blast.  |

Yikes. Desperate time call for desperate measures I guess.

I can't believe they didn't take the time to make a suitable forend for it  |

I bet the barrel has at least 1" of rifling in it.

They didn't need a forend for it,, they had to put their hand on top of it!

Under recoil of the 7.62x54mmR, reckon that hammer chopping into the shooting hand should fairly compliment muzzle blast.

The Russians were very adept at reducing power of the cartridge by disassembling and reducing charges. You can say the same for most of the countries that didn't have much data or reloading powders, etc. A lot has been written about that and the way they did it is still out there.

Somewhere on this site is an article on just that by a Finnish fella. Worthwhile information. guns.connect.fi/gow/gunwriters.htmlIt is not a HTTPS site, so go there at your own risk. |
