Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. One of our very last! This original WWII issue Russian M-1910 Maxim was built to BATF approved specs using one of our all original Russian stunning parts sets assembled on our BATF approved steel dummy non-firing receiver incorporating most internal parts. This example is a mix of Russian Empire parts and WWII Era parts, as were many of the guns the Russians used during WWII.
Features of this set include in this set are-
- All original Pre-WWI, WWI, and WWII Russian issue MG parts. Also some Finnish Parts marked VKT.
- Newly made BATF approved side plates.
- Original M1905/1910 Transitional Smooth Steel water jacket with brass ends.
- Correct later style rear sight
- Steel excellent condition Sokolov wheeled mount with piano shaped lock box.
- Top cover marked Korj.1944, indicating that it was re-dated for Finnish inventory after Capture in the Winter War.
This gun must have led a romantic existence serving for close to half a century. It saw service in WW1, went through the Revolution and was again used in the 1939 invasion of Finland where it was captured. It remained in the hands of the Finnish Army and was re-dated for Finnish Inventory, and also has had many "SA" markings added, for which stands for Suomen Armeija, the Finnish Army. There is also a VKT marking on the top of one of the spade grip oilers, for Valtion Kivääritehdas, the Finnish State Arsenal located in Jyväskylä.
Really an interesting example, which will make a great display piece in any collection!
The PM M1910 (Пулемёт Максима на станке Соколова, Pulemyot Maxima na stanke Sokolova or "Maxim's machine gun model 1910 on Sokolov's mount") was a heavy machine gun used by the Russian Army during World War I and the Red Army during World War II. It was adopted in 1910 and was derived from Hiram Maxim's Maxim gun, chambered for the standard Russian 7.62x54mmR rifle cartridge. The M1910 was mounted on a wheeled mount (Sokolov) with a gun shield and was replaced in Soviet service by the SG-43 Goryunov, starting in 1943. In addition to the main infantry version, there were aircraft mounted (PV-1) and naval variants.
