Rifles by countries and continents. Part of 25. The same winchester

122
For me, getting to know this rifle was getting to know ... weapons at all. We lived in the late 50 of the last century in a private wooden house for two families, and here in our half there were only two rooms, so my grandfather, the former head of the goron during the war years, the school director, was awarded the Order of Lenin and "Badge of Honor ”, Slept on the bed near the door in the cold canopy. But then many lived like that, and it’s clear that I didn’t find anything special about it. And my grandmother slept on the sofa in the hall, well, that though not on the chest, as the grandmothers of my boyfriends slept along Proletarskaya street. A canvas cloak was hanging on the wall next to it, and then somehow looking under it, I found there ... a hefty and heavy gun! Well, since then, when no one was at home, I only played him! The grandfather himself stuffed ammunition for him, chopped a canister out of a lead bar, and then ... taught me to shoot him. Fortunately, the garbage dump for household waste was in our yard directly opposite the porch, about fifty meters away, and in the winter just a cloud of crows flew at her, terribly annoying our chain-stallion Erik. We fired at them, so much so that only feathers flew in different directions. And I was sure that all the hunting rifles ... such!


According to the old memory (and the hands for a long time remember what the head forgot!) It seemed to me very comfortable to hold it in my hands. He also did not seem to me. True, in this case he was without cartridges and without a bayonet.



But then I got into a special school, started learning English from the second grade, and very soon read the inscription “Winchester Model 1895” on it. So the gun was American ?! And then, on the screens of our cinemas, the GED movie “Sons of the Great Bear” went, well, that's all - I understood how really lucky I was. And my grandfather, when I asked him about it, then told me that the hard drive was given to him in 1918, when he, as the head of the food squad, was collecting bread in the villages. Then he perestvolil under hunting cartridges, and so he stayed with him, to me as a souvenir. Then, when the laws on weapons in the USSR were tightened, I had to sell it, but ... I still have the memory of the “first gun” and shooting from it.


Full ammunition: Winchester, clip and bayonet. Is that the belt is missing.

And when, once again, my friend, a collector of weapons, called me and invited me to “that same hard drive”, I immediately went to see him, I really wanted to hold it in my hands. And hold it! And I took the whole picture, as far as the conditions of outside photography allowed. So our series, as you can see, has already reached the number “25”. In my opinion, it's just great that I managed to tell about such a large number of rifles, even if not for all of them, I, unfortunately, managed to hold on. “Buy it,” I say, “Mondragon’s rifle, I really want to dig in it!” “Do you know its price?!” Followed his answer, so how was it with the hard drive? we can hardly meet her. However, on the story about her was.


That's how it looks in full growth.

So, what was the American Winchester M1895 magazine rifle with reloading using a lever lock developed by the famous American gunsmith John Moses Browning and taken into production by the Winchester company in 1895 year? It was prepared for the competition for the best rifle for the National Guard, which was held in 1896 year. However, the first place on it was taken by a gun from the company “Vavidzh”, which presented the original design, which was also controlled by a lever, but ... with a drum shop - Savage Model 1895. The Winchester rifle took only second place. After being hurt, the Winchesters accused the organizers of the contest of tampering with the results and succeeded - the National Guard recalled the contract for the supply of rifles, but did not receive an order for the hard drives of the company!


The receiver, the trigger that had to be cocked before each shot, the guides for the holder and the famous "Henry brace."

In an effort to interest potential buyers, "Winchester" has developed several models of rifles for different cartridges, as an army sample, and for hunting big game. And it is interesting that for quite a long time of its production, and the M1895 of the year was produced from 1895 to 1940 year, its modifications appeared for a variety of cartridges, including 6 mm USN, .30 Army, .30-03, .30-06, .303 British, 7,62 × 54 mm R, .35 Winchester, .38-72 Winchester, .40-72 Winchester and .405 Winchester. The variant Winchester .50 express, which was custom-made by US President Theodore Roosevelt, is also known.


Normal frame sight.

The M1895 rifle was the first rifle offered by Winchester, which had a box-shaped rather than its traditional tubular magazine under the barrel, with a box-shaped store of central location, and not with a tubular barrel-mounted magazine. The new store made it possible to safely use powerful central-ignition rifle cartridges with a pointed-pointed bullet, which was completely impossible when using the old tubular magazine because of the possibility of nipping the previous cartridge with a subsequent bullet. Well, since cartridges with pointed bullets appeared, this design of the store was not suitable for them.


Mount for bayonet and front swivel.

This model has become the most powerful rifle in the range of Winchester rifles, but it is considered that this attempt was not very successful, as the M1895 retained all the main design solutions of the previous generation, and the times have already changed. And, by the way, the M1895 was the last rifle with a shutter drive from the “Henry Brace”, which was developed by John Browning. He no longer engaged in such weapons!


The shutter is open.

History М1895 is quite interesting, and she, too, in general, had a chance to make war. First, the US Army placed an order for the 10 thousand. M1895 caliber .30 / 40 Krag to test it during the Spanish-American War. But the war ended earlier than the first batch of these rifles arrived at the place of use. This batch of rifles was marked with the “.30 US Army” stamp above the chamber, and all of them had a bayonet similar to that of the M1895 Lee Navy rifle. Then a hundred M1895 was handed over to the 33 Volunteer Infantry Regiment for testing in combat during the Philippine-American War (interestingly, the 25 December report from 1899 emphasized that the .30 / 40 Krag was very good for the army). But the remaining 9900 rifles were sold to the M. Harley Company, which in turn sold them to Cuba in 1906, from where they came to Mexico, where ... the insurgents of the peasant general Pancho Villa really liked it!


Store feeder and cartridge fed into the barrel.

When, during the First World War, emissaries of the tsarist government set off around the world in search of rifles, this model, which the company promised to produce in the required quantities, turned out to be most welcome. During the period from 1915 to 1917, about 300 thousand M1895 rifles were ordered for the Russian Imperial Army. It was a very big order and, of course, he brought this firm a lot of revenue. Although the requirements of the Russian side in the design of the rifle had to make a number of changes. First of all, it was necessary to change the barrel under the bullet of the Russian 7,62 × 54 mm R cartridge, replace the chamber and the magazine. The second important change was the two guides mounted on the receiver, which were necessary so that the magazine could be equipped with standard Mosin M1891 rifle clips. In addition, the rifles, issued for Russia, had a slightly elongated barrel and mount for the bayonet. Accordingly, the increased length of the trunk made it necessary to lengthen and forearm. That is, if we consider that all the M1895 rifles were made 426 thousand (from 1895 to 1931 year), and almost 300 thousand were made under the Russian cartridge, it is not surprising that such rifles are still found, as we have in Russia, and abroad! However, in Russia, however, the entire order did not get, and was delivered from 291 to 293 thousands of rifles, which were used during the First World War and during the Civil War.


Of course, it is purely psychologically very strange when, when reloading, a rifle in this way is “decomposed” in your hands. Unusually it somehow ...

It is believed that if you compare the Mosin rifle and the Winchester M1895 rifle, the latter will have a slightly higher rate of fire just due to reloading with the “Henry Bracket”, even though the trigger had to be manually manually recharged each time. However, the M1895 rifles, according to experts, were somewhat more sensitive to contamination, and reloading them with the “Henry brace” in the prone position, as well as in the trench, was rather difficult. The mass of the American rifle was 4,1 kg, length - 1100 mm, with a barrel length 710 mm. Accordingly, the weight of the “trilinea” was equal to 4,5 kg, the length of the infantry rifle was 1306 mm, the length of the barrel 729 mm (infantry). That is, ours was a little longer and heavier, but it was superior to the “American” in reliability and serviceability.


Upper barrel pad on the trunk is missing. Surely the Americans decided to save on wood ?!

Interestingly, the Americans delivered the first batch of rifles later than the appointed date, since the conversion of the rifle to the standards of the Russian army required more work than expected. For some reason, the development of such a seemingly simple part as guides for the Moscow cage, which were fastened to the receiver with screws, turned out to be especially difficult.


The butt and the neck of the butt are traditional in shape and very comfortable.


But what is the mark on the butt (the second on the receiver), experts argue so far. It is believed that this is the stigma of the Russian military acceptance, but is it not known for sure.


This is the stigma on the receiver on the right.

In addition, Winchester considered that the Russian military inspectors were too picky: they required standard tests for the imperial army (although they passed the tests at the manufacturing company), as well as tests using cartridges made in Russia, and not in the US . A number of rifles, they rejected because of the low, as stated, the quality of the wood rifle used to make the box. All this was considered by the Americans as unreasonable demands, but the rifles were nonetheless accepted by our side and in the USA they were sold to civilians.


Well, here everything about this rifle is written, where it was released, by whom and when, as well as what number it has. Conveniently…

МХNUMX rifles, which entered Russia, in the imperial Russian army went into service with the troops stationed in the Baltic States and in Finland, in particular, they were used by parts of the Latvian riflemen. It is estimated that at least nine thousand USSR M1895 survivors from that time sent the Republican government to 1895 by way of military aid to Spain.


The handle of the bayonet with a button stop on the head.


Up to the stop, that is, up to the very fly, we were unable to put on the bayonet, apparently, time affects even the “pieces of iron”. As you can see, the bayonet is mounted on the M1895 under the barrel, but I personally don’t like such a bayonet mount, although it is quite widespread. The fact is that in such a position of the blade, it is good to prick the stomach, but between the ribs it may not pass and the injury will be superficial. It was necessary nevertheless to provide for mounting from the side, so that the blade of the bayonet lay flat. Then he will enter life without difficulty, and between the ribs ...

When it comes to the M1895 hunting modifications, they usually recall such an American president as Theodore Roosevelt, who simply adored this rifle and traveled with her on safari to Africa in 1909 year. But it was also used by many other famous hunters, such as Marty and Osa Johnson, Charles Kottar, writer Stephen Edward White, Garrit Forbes and Elmer Keith, who advised her future president Roosevelt.


It seemed to me that the bayonet rifle certainly influences the balance, but not very much.


Recharging it, wielding this very "Henry brace" is not at all easy. As a child, I adored doing this, playing “warts”, lying on the floor at home ... on a soft carpet. And I was very uncomfortable, I had to roll on my side! And what was it like for soldiers in overcoats on the ground to do under the fire of the German Mauser ?!

In Africa, Roosevelt used two M1895 (both for the .405 Winchester cartridges) and bought two more for his son: one for the same cartridge and the other for the .30-03 Springfield). In his memoirs, Roosevelt called these rifles his "talisman of lions" and rated them very highly. Interestingly, in honor of the 100 anniversary of the anniversary of President Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency, Winchester released special commemorative rifles chambered for .405 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield and .30-40 Krag. And in 2009, two rifles were made in memory of his famous African safari. Moreover, although the marks on them were Browning and Winchester, they were made by the Japanese company Miroku Corp.

    The author indicated incorrect numbers: the barrel length of the Mosin infantry rifle -820mm, the barrel length of the so-called. "Dragoon rifle", which one was produced after the modernization of 1930, and, in fact, is considered our Mosin rifle, since almost all infantry rifles were re-shot after the model of the "Dragoon rifle", has a barrel length of 740 mm, measured personally. Nevertheless, several times I came across other data in the literature, for example, -730mm. Here the author indicated the length of 729mm.
    It is clear that he did not invent it himself, he took it from somewhere, but if you follow the logic, then why is such an "uneven" number taken, namely 729 mm? If this is the number of calibers, as measured by the length of the barrel in artillery, it still does not fit, 729 is not divisible by either 2,54 or 7,62 .. It is not clear.

      The barrel length of a dragoon rifle is 28,75 inches or in a new way 730,25 mm. In the NSD on the rifle sample 91/30 the barrel length is clearly indicated 730 mm - which was quite understandable and could not be taken into account, especially since they are more than eaten up by production tolerances.

        “If, for example, you’re firing, then mentally firing, because firing in battle is the first thing, and, most importantly, remember that you need to stab the enemy in full lunge, in the chest, with a short blow, and tear out his bayonet shortly back from the chest ... Remember: from the chest short back, so that he does not grab it with his hand ... That's it! P-time - full lunge and p-time-- short back. Then r-one-two! R-one-two! Dip it briefly with your foot, frighten him, the enemy r-one-two-two! ” (author's spelling preserved) - so, according to the memoirs of the famous journalist Vladimir Gilyarovsky, non-commissioned officer Ermilov, "a great master of his craft," taught the soldiers bayonet fighting. It was in 1871, Gilyarovsky then served in the army as volunteers.
        The method of striking “in full lunge, in the chest, with a short stroke” at that time was a relative novelty in the Russian army. Even during the years of the Crimean War (1853-1856), Russian soldiers beat with a bayonet in a different way. The writer – historian Sergeev – Tsensky described this technique as follows:
        "Russian soldiers were taught to beat with a bayonet only in the stomach and from top to bottom, and, having hit, lower the butt, so that the bayonet rose upward, turning inside out: it was useless even to take such wounded to the hospital."
        In Russia, the Red Cross Society was created in May 1867 under the name "Society for the Care of the Wounded and Sick Warriors." It was here that I had to face the requests of the international community to refuse a terrible blow to the stomach. As an alternative, the chest blow described above was chosen.

        But they still didn’t refuse to strike with a bayonet in the stomach -
        The main recommendations for bayonet fighting at the beginning of the last century were set forth in the book of Alexander Lugar “The Guide to Fencing with Bayonets”, published in 1905 after the end of the Russo-Japanese War -
        The blow is applied from the bottom up, with the knees bent, and sent to the abdomen. They beat it off by turning the gun with a bayonet to the ground, taking the enemy’s weapons to the left or right.
        As we see, Lugar does not propose to abandon the bayonet in the stomach. True, he does not recommend raising a bayonet in the stomach, "turning inside out". Times are not the same, yet a humane twentieth century in the yard ...

        So, dear Vyacheslav Olegovich nobody refuses to strike the enemy with a bayonet in the stomach despite the different conventions and other "humanistic" trends there!
        I read about the methods of slaughtering seals and seals! The compassionate "humanists" decided that it was impossible to kill pinnipeds with a blow to the head with a stick (this was the name of such a stick among our northerners - chekmar)! Not humane!
        In Western countries, experiments were carried out - they shot, poisoned and hit with a discharge current unfortunate pinnipeds! After all these experiments, it turned out that a stick hit on the head is the most humane way of slaughtering seals and seals! The beast loses consciousness and then dies!
        And the human abdominal cavity is full of different vital organs and arteries with veins!

      Good day to all honest dear company! Vladislav, and let’s, I live as a donor? wink
      pay attention to the ways of attaching the bayonet-knife in relation to the blade. Having looked through a number of photos of Mauser-98, M-16, Arisaki, I came to the conclusion that the blade of the attached bayonet is directed downward (by the way, if you enter the word "arisaka" in Google and immediately start looking at the photos, then almost immediately we will see Vyacheslav our Olegovich with her wink )
      that is, I have a feeling that mounting a bayonet-knife on an AK with the blade up is justified. For, it seems, the blow goes from bottom to top by inertia, and in this case the blade is more open. hi
      Or are you a secret admirer of trihedral and tetrahedral Russian bayonets?

      the bayonet for the three-ruler was sharpened not "on the point", but "on the plane." Like a screwdriver. Why? passes better and not stuck! request there is a familiar search engine, a wonderful man, I reviewed a number of bayonets - all "flat". soldier
      And I do not like the tetrahedral one with all its effectiveness - neither you chop wood, nor chop off your fingers, if anything ...

      I agree with Vyacheslav Olegovich. I add - and wear only on a rifle, for the scabbard is not provided (with the exception of the cavalry - our cavalry on the scabbard sheath had special mounts for the bayonet).

        No offense! I'm kidding!!!
        For proper bayonet fighting, the last in the USSR were equipped with a 44-year-old carbine (based on Mosinki) and an SKS. Moreover, both were equipped with integral bayonets, the first with a needle, and the second with a knife. The bayonet with a blade on Simonov’s self-loading carbine in a fighting position is located below, which, in addition to the traditional strike in the Russian (Soviet) army, pokes another five to six shock and defensive moves. Communicating with smart people who were engaged in bayonet fighting, everyone scolded AK for the location of the bayonet blade to the top. Although at one time they explained to me that the bayonet position on the AK was forced due to the need to cut the wire and due emphasis on the handle. Although honestly I did not like the bayonet AK and AKM because of their fragility.
        Regarding the sharpening of the needle bayonets, Nikolai, you are absolutely right.

          The first AK was equipped with the same double-edged blade. In general, the prototype of the 6X1 bayonet-knife was the bayonet for the Tokarev SVT-38 self-loading rifle. Outwardly similar, only with a slightly longer blade and a slightly modified mount was 6X2. They were given to us at the school for internal service. I remember that their steel was cool, as was the balance. From 5..7 meters they stuck into the wall easily and not forcibly. And most importantly, they did not break down, like their successors 6X3 and 6x4 for AKM.
          Yes, and modern 6X5 has a more classical form.

            The first AK bayonets did not have at all, the development of a bayonet for AK only began in 1952, the first appeared 6X1 but it was not mass-produced, the series went 6X2 and became a standard bayonet for a lightweight AK machine (in the west this machine is called AK type3) and it was in 1954 i.e. five years after the adoption of the AK into service.

            The 6X2 bayonet was never double-edged - in spite of the dagger-like appearance, only one side has a rudimentary sharpening, when it adjoins the machine, this side looks up.

                  In fact, there is no secret here and there is no need to look for anything special. It is enough to turn to the history of the Russian Procurement Committee and the organization of orders for military property in the United States during World War I. revolvers and cartridges for them ", Belgrade, 1936.
                  The fact is that due to a lack of finances, on September 30, 1915, the Russian and English governments signed a financial agreement, according to which, from October 1, 1915 to October 1, 1916, a loan was opened to the Russian government. Cash allocation was carried out monthly at 25 million f. Art. The agreement stated that the loan was granted for payments under contracts already entered into force prior to this agreement in the United Kingdom, Canada, the USA and Japan, concluded by the Imperial Government for its needs. In the summer of 1916, a new financial agreement was concluded between the two states, according to which, despite all the requests of the Russian side to increase the advance payment, the monthly amount allocated for purchases, including the USA, remained unchanged - 25 million pounds. Art.
                  In this regard, the English side, which financed Russian orders in the United States, strictly controlled any expenses from the loan. Representatives of the British authorities repeatedly reported to the head of the Anglo-Russian Committee Lieutenant General E.K. Germonius that orders independently made by a committee led by Major General A.V. Sapozhnkovym, concluded at high purchase prices. In some cases, according to the British, headed by A.V. Sapozhnikov committee concluded contracts with unreliable commercially viable companies. Here the complaints of the British are absolutely true, since a cloud of mediators and swindlers was feeding around Russian military orders in the United States, and even the chamberlain of the imperial palace was involved in scandals.
                  As a result, since 1916, the Procurement Committee in America had to place all its orders through the intermediary of the banking house of J. Morgan, who appointed his representative to the committee. The English general Ellershaw became the representative of the British government on the Procurement Committee in New York.
                  After these innovations, the ordering scheme began to look as follows. The Russian Procurement Committee ascertained the need to order a particular weapon, provided the British-Russian Committee in London with detailed information on the deadlines, the maximum unit price and the entire amount of the necessary loan. The English-Russian Committee, through the company Morgan and Co., provided the Procurement Committee with a list of companies capable of fulfilling this order and the conditions for its implementation. If you agree to the terms and conditions with the intermediary of the company Morgan and Co., the Procurement Committee signed a contract with the relevant company. Morgan and Co. in this case acted as an official agent of the British government and guaranteed payment of completed contracts. As can be seen in such a system of placing orders, there was no longer any place for intermediaries, and, consequently, for financial frauds during procurement and placement of orders. In fact, the company of J. Morgan became the main intermediary of the tsarist government in placing orders in the United States, receiving corresponding dividends.
                  This is with regard to orders through England "Winchesters".

                        committee was organized by the artillery acceptance committee
                        chaired by Major General A. V. Sapozhnikov. Composed of
                        This commission included senior and junior surveyors, engineers,
                        equipment, etc., a total of 78 people.
                        On this list is No. 20 Senior Acceptor Khatuntsev Sergey Petrovich, No. 21 is Zadde Artemy Yakovlevich.
                        These names are very often found in documents of the Special Meeting to discuss state defense activities related to the reception of
                        weapons ordered for Russia in the United States. Exactly
                        they were engaged in accepting rifles of the Winchester system of different samples,
                        steel peak etc.
                        Therefore, I consider the version of N. A. Ovodkov that "KhiZ" is nothing more than a personal stigma (capital letters of surnames) of this group of senior
                        receivers, consisting of two people: Colonel Sergei Petrovich
                        Khatuntsev and captain Artemy Yakovlevich Zadde.

    even though you had to manually cock the trigger before cocking the shutter.
    No, it wasn’t required, the trouble with not putting the trigger on a platoon while reloading is a known problem with the worn M1895.
    In addition, the axes of the levers wear out and the holes for them are broken as a result of which the reloading becomes very difficult with jamming and mashing.
    Something taken away from me passed m1895, someone didn’t shoot so much but played a lot of cowboys, recharged terribly, rummaged in his guts, and could not stand it, it was interesting how he would work with normal axes - he opened the holes and made axes for them increased diameter - and the miracle reloading became very easy and smooth.

    In our department there were alterations of an army "Winchester" into a hunting one, all of them cocked the trigger with a twitching staple. There were more than a dozen of them, with barrels of different lengths and varying degrees of wear, all under a three-line cartridge, five-charge. But failure of the trigger due to wear and tear on them is "normal", it was like that, and the barrel was "shot" too. Almost point blank shot at the water "bullet catcher" and the stern of the bullet simply "licked", it entered the water sideways. At first, no one could understand anything, then they figured out and measured the caliber at the muzzle, and there you could no longer see the rifling. So it goes. So, breaking the trigger is still seeds. hi

      generally gorgeous! good drinks here the big question is what the hero will choose with his attention - either the guns that need to be pushed off the bridge, or the mobile phone that needs to be reached to hear about the value of these very guns laughing if he chooses a mobile phone as the second action .. perhaps the whole gang will hire a professional diver for the remaining pennies! request drinks

        Guy Ritchie is generally a talented contemporary director, a man who can make a cinematic masterpiece out of a third-rate theater play.

    This great dreamer Shpakovsky .. Yes, for ONE !!! just a shot on ANY street in ANY city from a similar weapon, the owner would not only instantly lose it, but also would thunder on the dock. And the "mythical" awards would not help.
