PMB Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I'm new to the Forum. I hope I chose the right discussion panel for my question. I’d like to ask if among the Forum Members are owners/users of the Soviet Olympic/Match firearms ( imported in the 60’s to UK ) who would be willing to share Manuals/technical instructions of their weapon? Please have a look at the old advert of the Soviet Olympic weapon offered in UK in the 60’s : I assume that since the Soviet firearms were advertised in UK, there should be owners, who perhaps still have a full factory set, including the manuals. I managed to collect a small Soviet Olympic team – MC-13 [ МЦ-13 / Mts-13 / MU-13 ], Typhoon-3 [ Тайфун-3 ] and MC-2-3 [ МЦ-2-3 / Mts-2-3 / MU-2-3 ] but unfortunately without original documents, accessories, spare parts. In fact I do not even know the manufacture year of my rifles – my MC-13 and Typhoon-3 do not have a manufacture year stamped on the top of the receiver. I wonder if it is possible to assess the manufacture period by the serial number? My MC-13 s/n is NH 240, Typhoon-3 s/n is M247. I'll be grateful if owners of the Soviet match firearms could share their opionon, experience and knowlegde. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Bought a Vostok a few years ago for £100 - hoping to rebuild it into a 22RF benchgun. The chunky action looks good but the set triggers were not so good. I still have action and cutdown barrel if you need spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMB Posted March 28 Author Report Share Posted March 28 By Vostok you mean MC-12 rimfire rifle? £100 for an MC-12 was a great deal - in the 60's the price was 79 £ while an average salary was 100£ per month ( according to Wikipedia ). I found one for sale in Hungary - definitely UK import, there are UK proofs stamped on the receiver, for 635 EUR. Import procedure and trasnport costs would double ( at least ) the price, so I let i go. I'm looking for spares but rather an accessories and tool box than the rifle parts.
