Margolin

Bonjour à tous,

Comme je l'ai dit dans ma présentation, je suis intéressé par les armes russes.

En cherchant sur le net, j'ai trouvé pas mal d'infos permettant d'identifier des Nagant 1895, des Mosin Nagant ou des Tokarev mais fort peu concernant les Margolin.

Je me demandais si certains d'entre vous auraient des tuyaux pour, au minimum, dater un pistolet de ce type.

D'avance merci !

Il se fait tard pour te traduire cette tartine mais voilà déjà une idée :

At first Margolin worked on a semi-automatic .22 rimfire rifle and on a .22 rimfire version of the Soviet Degtarev drum-fed sub-machine gun. This included the creation of magazines that would feed reliably, the largest being a 35 round magazine. But Margolin’s real interest was in the creation of a sport pistol, a target pistol and once he was given the go ahead he began work on that project beginning with a design based on the Tokarev. World War II intervened however and Margolin worked on other projects for the war effort until at the end of the war he was able to return to his target pistol project. By this time he had a few years to think about the design and he discarded his original Tokarev based design and created something completely new. This was the MCM pistol and it was completed in 1948.

Margolin’s MTsU Olympic Rapid Fire pistol has a number of features that were new thinking back in the post war world of Olympic pistol shooting. The drum sights are micrometer adjustable both front and rear, and are intentionally mounted a little high on the action so as to cause the shooter to position the pistol in such a way that the recoil comes straight back on the line of his/her arm. The rear sight is not fixed to the slide but to the frame and is thus unaffected by the movement of the slide. The recoil spring sits underneath the barrel in a guide rod and at the muzzle of the barrel there is a compensator to both add weight to the muzzle and to release the muzzle blast gases upward and rearward to reduce muzzle flip as near to zero as possible. The pistol has a reputation for accuracy and reliability second to none of its contemporaries. This pistol in the hands of Soviet shooters earned the Soviet Union Gold the ISSF World Championships when they made their competitive debut in 1954. The pistols had made their mark and many serious competitive shooters sought to acquire one.


Durant ma jeunesse les .22 LR Margolin étaient très représentés sur les pas de tir et bénéficiaient d'une bonne réputation. Leur vente en coffret de bois complété de je ne sais plus quelle bricole était une bonne idée qui plaisait beaucoup. J'ai vu beaucoup de gens tirer de la Pobiéda dedans, je ne sais plus si cette cartouche était russe.

Je te remercie pour ta réponse c50.

Oui, l'arme dans son coffret en bois est vraiment jolie à regarder !

Pour ce qui est des muns, tout ce que je peux dire c'est que les CCi ne passent pas bien. Par contre, les Geco, c'est le top !
