My Soviet Collection

[Eaglelord17]

Well I finally got a Nagant Revolver. Made in 1943 at Tula. It appears to be all matching (haven't completely stripped it to the bare bones). My first impression is it isn't that bad a revolver. Most reviews online seem to indicate it is the worst revolver ever made, but just from handling it, it doesn't seem too bad. Maybe once I start shooting it might be a different story. I paid a little more than I likely should have, but that being said I wanted one for a while and I don't mind forking out a little extra cash to get what I want.

I sold the M44, so now all my collection is missing is a M44 and SVT-38. Odds are I won't bother with both of them. I have had a bunch of M44s and they don't seem to catch my fancy, and I am not willing to fork out the money at the moment to get a SVT-38. Since my interest has focused mainly into WWI, this side of my collection will be more a side show than anything else for the next while.

From the top down, M91 Infantry Rifle manufactured in 1926 by Tula on a 1898 Tula receiver. A M91 Dragoon manufactured in 1927 by Tula, Finnish Capture. M1895 Nagant Revolver made in 1943 at Tula. M91/30 made in 1939 by Izhevsk. M38 Carbine made in 1943 by Izhevsk. TT-33 made in 1945 by Izhevsk. SVT-40 made in 1941 by Tula. And finally a 1950 manufactured SKS.
