When the British Board of Ordnance appointed a Select Committee in 1864 the Snider system was swiftly adopted with the first breech loaders being issued in 1865 to British forces. Improved in 1867 by the use of Colonel Boxer's center fire brass bodied cartridge, the rifle was used very effectively in the Abyssinian Campaign of 1868. The system utilized a hinged breech block with an internal firing pin assembly that permitted the use of a self contained cartridge of lead bullet in cardboard, and, after 1867, brass casing. This highly efficient conversion system prolonged the active life of the P-1853 rifles up until 1871 when the Martini System was adopted.

Comes complete with an original magazine (a non-functional magazine will be substituted where prohibited).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Following World War 2 (1939-1945), the Polish military arsenal was rebuilt with largely Soviet-originated weapons, including the PPS-43 Submachine Gun (SMG) series. This started with the PM wz. 43, a license-made Polish version of the famous Soviet PPS-43 Submachine Gun line, which began production in 1946. The PM in the designation stood for \"Pistolet Maszynowy\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater in 1952 a modified form, the PM wz. 43\/52, was revealed to supersede it. This model retained all of the form and function of the original Soviet offering but was given specific alterations to suit Polish Army requirements as well as local industry. These included the addition of a wooden butt stock with the provision for a cleaning kit, and a sling swivel further back, which would better control and aim. However, the gains in accuracy were offset by gains in weight, so the PM wz. 43 and PM wz. 43\/52 were produced concurrently for years. From the period of 1952 until 1955, the Lucznik Arms Factory of Radom, Poland pushed out over 111,000 PPS and PPS-related submachine guns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis legendary submachine gun design was developed in Leningrad while the Germans had the city under siege during WW2. The designer, A. I. Sudarev, wanted a gun that could be manufactured with the resources available in the city. The result was the PPS 43, which has very few machined parts, depended on simple stampings, welding, and riveting for its construction. The design was so successful that it was adopted by the Soviet Army and used extensively during the rest of the war. These are seen extensively in pictures from the WWII eastern front and are an important part of a WW2 collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS or \"Pistolet-pulemyot Sudaeva\", in English: \"Sudaev's submachine-gun\") was a family of Soviet submachine guns chambered in 7.62×25mm Tokarev, developed by Alexei Sudayev as a low-cost personal defense weapon for reconnaissance units, vehicle crews and support service personnel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS and its variants were used extensively by the Red Army during World War II and were later adopted by the armed forces of several countries of the former Warsaw Pact as well as its many African and Asian allies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS was created in response to a Red Army requirement for a compact and lightweight weapon with similar accuracy and projectile energy to the Soviet PPSh-41 submachine gun widely deployed at the time, with reduced rate of fire, produced at lower cost and requiring less manpower, particularly skilled manpower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSudaev was ordered by the State Commission for Armaments to perfect for large-scale production the sub-machine gun design of lieutenant I.K. Bezruchko-Vysotsky from the Dzerzhinsky Artillery Academy, who had created two prototypes in 1942; the second of these was the basis of Sudaev's gun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring design, emphasis was placed on simplifying production and eliminating most machining operations; most of the weapon's parts were sheet-steel stamped. These measures reduced the number of machined components to a bare minimum, cutting down machining time by more than half, to 2.7 hours of machining instead of 7.3 hours for the PPSh-41. There were also savings of over 50% in raw steel usage, down to 6.2 kg instead of 13.9 kg, and fewer workers were required to manufacture and assemble the parts. Thanks to the improvements in production efficiency, the Soviet planners estimated that the new gun would have allowed an increase in monthly submachine gun output from 135,000 units to 350,000 weapons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrototypes were field tested between 26 April and 12 May 1942; the evaluation commission's report was largely favorable, but still proposed some minor improvements mostly aimed at strengthening the gun's structure. By July, Shpagin had finished his own improved model (PPSh-2), and it was pitted in field trials against the PPS, which was found superior in most respects: accuracy, reliability, maneuverability.[4] (This was apparently a large scale contest, in which 20 designs participated. On July 28, 1942 GAU head N.D. Yakovlev and his aide Ivan Novikov presented Sudaev's gun to the State Defense Committee for approval. The firearm was accepted into service as the PPS-42 (Russian: ????????-??????? ???????—??? or Pistolet Pulemyot Sudayeva model of 1942). The weapon was put into small-scale production during the Siege of Leningrad; mass production did not commence until early 1943 at the Sestroretsk Arsenal (over 45,000 weapons were produced before being replaced by the improved PPS-43). The factory in charge for the pilot production starting in December 1942 was the Sestroretsk Tool Factory. The first series guns were presented for personal inspection to Andrei Zhdanov and Leonid Govorov in the same month. The full-scale production began in 1943, and the official count of PPS-42 guns produced was 46,572. Most were used during the military trials by the soldiers of the Leningrad Front. The military trials officially took place between January and April 1943.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to the massive investment already made in machinery for PPSh-41 production, which was already being produced in more than a million pieces per year, it turned out it would have been uneconomical to completely abandon its production in favor of the PPS. By end of the war some two million PPS-43 submachine guns were made. Due to the oversupply of the Soviet army with submachine guns after the war, production of the PPS in the Soviet Union ceased in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the last two years of the war, Sudaev continued to experiment with improvements for his submachine gun. Six of his later prototype models, made in 1944 and 1945, are found in the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps. These have variations in bolt shape and weight, as well as more obvious outward differences like a wooden, non-folding stock or a folding bayonet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PPS remained in service with some Soviet forces until the mid-1950s. Among the last to relinquish it were crews of armored vehicles and the Naval Infantry. Some WWII-era weapons found their way to the Chinese People's Liberation Army and were subsequently captured by UN forces in the Korean War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"No","offer_id":25652824453,"sku":"RR4301","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Yes","offer_id":25652824581,"sku":"RR4301","price":750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/on2814__1_1.jpg?v=1601418106"},{"product_id":"original-wwii-german-mg-15-receiver-cam","title":"Original WWII German MG 15 Receiver Cam","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginal Item: German made MG 15 reciver cam.
