Cossack WW2 Gun Horde

[Keith4him]

Astonishing finds that local Cossacks have gathered. It seems that a Cossack posted the pictures and is the connection to this horde.

Drooooooool!

I have visited a number of War Relics websites over the years, but this is astounding.

Did you see his posts, Lugers for $5, where is this guy

[Keith4him]

I would be willing to be Blindfolded and drugged to go there

They even have a Martini Henry...

That PTRS, me wants.

Kazakhs yes... Talking to my great grandma over the years when she was alive (born in 1888) for many years she told me about them.
But looking at that gun room in person I would have several orgasms in every minute.

Dude doesn't really know how to ID his guns all that well.

Kind of an odd collection for Russia. Some of the guns there are very unlikely to be found there: AMD-65, Romanian AKs, Vz. 58, for example. They did buy some Cz. 24s from the Czechs, but still, they are far from common, and not exactly something the diggers would encounter.

I was speechless for a few moments...


All I can say ... if I had that man cave, I'd roll a lazy boy in there and be the happiest man alive.

You're forgetting the MAS 36, Vetterli, Carcano, Steyr-Mannlicher 1895, and SMLE. I'm wondering how those "western" rifles got to the USSR. Maybe these were supplied to the White Russians during the civil war? The Cossacks did form the core of the white russian army. But that still wouldn't explain the stuff that is from WW2 +/- 10 years, like the MAS 36 and M1 carbine.

Wow...

Cute air cooled Maxim (vent holes added to barrel shroud).

Second pic: Check out the artillery Luger holsters on the shelf. Assuming the are guns in the holster that's a small fortune right there.

PTRD and PTRS: Will take both....

The MG34 on the lafette tripod has the tank mount barrel shroud with the very rare front sight and bipod mount.

"More machine guns.": MG13 with saddle drum and AA sight on the right and ZB 26 or 30 on the left. BAR? Don't know the other two.

Another small fortune in those German WWII officer daggers.

Amazing collection.
