Very neat stuff. I'd love to see anything that pertains to SKS, both raw and translated.
I've always liked Yandex image translate much better than either Google or Bing for translating Russian documentation. I feel it does a much better job, though the technical terminology/jargon is still sometimes unclear and needs interpertation (I'm thinking of how many times I've seen "needle" translated when in realty they mean bolt carrier.)
Thanks for sharing! thumb1
I missed this post. Great collection! Those very early years of publication are very cool 8)
Very nice collection, the majority of Russian language manuals I have are on the 1910 Maxim. Those I have are from the early 1920s into the 50s.
Really nice stuff, good researching, PAX
Still hunting for the Russian SKS date tables. One day maybe
