Maxim 1910 Russian | Big Sandy Machine Gun Shoot 2023
Kenton shares the uniqueness of the Maxim 1910 Russian at Big Sandy Machine Gun Shoot 2023. This really special Maxim model has on it something the earlier Maxims did not have and that is a giant cap. This very unique feature on a Russian Maxim is the snow hole and the Russians, in the wintertime, could pack snow in this gun as it is a water cooled. The gun itself is 7.60 by 54, which is still the current Soviet rifle caliber. This is a heavy gun and it is a Maxim all the way through, with a little more improvement than the World War I Maxim, the MG O8. The Maxim 1910 fires at a very low rate of fire, it is very controllable and has a wheel mount on it and Russian soldier machine gun crews would actually pull this behind them. It is extremely effective at long range and fires with all kinds of different Soviet ammunitions because the fusee spring can be adjusted to the right tension to fire different types of ammunition. Another unique feature is in the grips, you would screw off the grip and it would have an oil brush in it to oil the gun. You can fire the Maxim 1910 from a metal belt or it can fire from a canvas belt. This gun was a standard Soviet machine gun in World War I and World War II.
