I have a problem disassembling it... What way do you need to turn the handle to release side-spring tension. So when I look at it from the shooter's view, clockwise or anticlockwise?

@teodormafia Bet way to remember is the phases "loosen up" & "tighten down".

You can remove the spring and cover by hand, just pull it slightly toward the front of the gun and lift off. It shouldn't be that tight.

@ooogaboooga172 Maybe but the .303 is not in service anymore, the 7.62x54r is however.

@WhyYouJelly There will always be weapons for man to kill each other, But to make a great weapon for your country to defend itself with will always be an honorable accomplishment.

Instrument of death. The invention of it was a disgrace to humanity.

During the 1 and World War II,Russian soldiers often boiled water for tea by Maxim machine gun.

The soviet soldiers would have one problem with it - it was HEAVY, and most of the times they would have to carry it on their backs. Another thing was that it came with a big defensive shield, that many experienced gunners prefered to get off, but did not have a permission to throw away (army property).

@rapperjoecool Thats the sokolov mount. For WW1 this mount was actually very good. And russian MG crews where well equipped and organised.

For WW2......well...

It was actually still rather usefull...

[rapperjoecool]

The barrel is similar to the Lewis gun, and the small wheels on it remind me of a Civil War cannon.

@freakfurt It was invented by an American orignally, Hiram Maxim, and most countries made their own versions, the British Vickers, this Russian 1910, and the Germans had their MG 08, etc.
