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 looks to be mostly made up of WWII Era parts, though it may have some WWI era parts, as did many of the guns the Russians used during WWII. It also includes an original Ammo can with a short section of steel belt (where permitted) to complete the look!

Features of this set include in this set are-

- All original Russian / Soviet issue MG parts, with possibly some Finnish made parts.
- Newly made BATF approved side plates.
- Original M1910 Fluted Steel Water Jacket
- Top cover marked is marked with the Soviet Era "Arrow in a Star" marking from Tula arsenal, which is surrounded by a date of 19 29г (год or year). Under this is serial No. 63998, which is also marked on on the other end of the top cover and latch. Near the hinge is a Finnish SA marking.
- Correct later style rear sight
- Soviet Russian Ammo Can with Short Maxim Steel Belt (where permitted).
- All steel Sokolov wheeled mount with Finnish SA markings.

Some parts of this gun may have led a romantic existence serving for close to half a century, having served through the Revolution and was again used in the 1939 Winter War 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 may also be "VKT" markings on some parts (such as the left grip oiler), for Valtion Kivääritehdas, the Finnish State Arsenal located in Jyväskylä. Virtually all of the Russian Maxims available on the market came out of Finland, just as this example.

This is really an excellent 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.
