Revolvers of the Nagan system and Mosin rifles will be left to collectors
“The measure of effectiveness in this matter should be practice - evaluation by the military,” ITAR-TASS quoted Dmitry Rogozin as saying. “The Ministry of Defense can also be understood. The department does not want to buy what is already enough. In this regard, they say the industry that it’s all there, you don’t have to produce anything. At the same time, industry representatives ask: how can it be? Shut down plants and disband people? This dilemma is not an easy one. "
At the same time, Rogozin stressed that the purchase of new weapons and the disposal of old ones should be closely linked.
The Deputy Prime Minister said that they had recently solved the problem of the disposal of weapons from the First World War: Nagan revolvers and Mosin rifles.
"Previously, they were broken, twisted barrels, but now agreed to transfer them back to the industry, which will convert this weapon into a collection and hunting," - he said.
According to Rogozin, the cost of the Mosin collection rifle exceeds one thousand euros.
The Nagan Revolver 1895 of the Year is a legendary weapon. Initially, revolvers were made in Belgium, but since 1898, they were launched at the Tula Arms Plant. The caliber of the revolver (7,62 mm) allowed the factory to unify the equipment for the production of not only revolvers, but also Mosin rifles having the same caliber.
Revolvers were produced before 1945. In 1994, its release as a service weapon was resumed at Izhmash.
Mosin rifle (three-lane) The Russian Imperial Army adopted the 1891 in. The rifle production in the 1892 began at Sestroretsk, Izhevsk and Tula arms factories. Due to the lack of production capacity at these plants, an order for 500 thousand units placed in the city of Chatellerault at the French military plant.
In the thirties of the twentieth century, the Soviet snipers very often used the Mosino trilinea. This was explained by the fact that sniper rifles with a SVT-40 telescopic lens were accurate in losing trilinea.
