Winchester M 70 (Winchester M 70 )Rifle Winchester M 70 It has been developed by legendary American designer John Brauningom under the order of company Winchester Repeating Arms Co in 1895. The reason of creation of rifle М1895 became that fact, that the previous rifles with Bracket Henrys developed by the Browning for company Winchester in 1892 and 1894, did not approach for use powerful long cartridges. Having kept in a rifle of the sample of 1895 reloading Bracket Henry, the Browning has replaced traditional for such rifles under tubular shop with the medial integral box-shaped shop, allowed to place five or six enough long cartridges. Originally rifles M 70 have been created under the hunting cartridges of calibres .38-72 and .405 WCF, and also under regular for that moment American a cartridge .30 US, also known as .30-40 Krag. After a rifle м1895 were issued and under a new regular cartridge of army of the USA .30-06 Springfield. In 1897-98 the Army of the USA has bought small Quantity of "muskets" of M of 70 calibres .30-40, used during the American-Spanish war. However the most mass variant of a rifle of M 70 became a variant under a cartridge 7.62х54R the Russian sample - from 426 thousand rifles of the M 70 which have been let out for the period with 1895 for 1931, almost 300 thousand have been let out under Russian cartridge during 1915-1917. This fact sharp shortage of rifles of system of Mosin, found out in Russia after the beginning of the first World war speaks. From 300 thousand the rifles, ordered to firm Winchester in 1915, to Russia has got from 291 up to 293 thousand the rifles used within. The first World and Civil wars. In comparison with rifles of system of Mosin of rifle Winchester M 70 a little bit greater rate of fire due to use reloading shaking Bracket distinguished Henry instead of is longitudinal a sliding rotary shutter. On the other hand, rifles of M 70 were more sensitive to pollution, and reloading Bracket Henry from a prone position was inconvenient enough. Rifle Winchester M 70 has is longitudinal the sliding shutter moving inside ствольной of a box. Lock-out of a shutter is carried out by a wedge vertically moving in grooves inside ствольной of a box, behind of the channel of shop. At movement recharging Henry downwards and forward at first occurs decrease in a locking wedge, and then the shutter is allocated back, taking and throwing out стреляную a sleeve, simultaneously cocking openly located курок. At movement back and upwards the shutter sends in addition in a trunk from shop the next cartridge then the wedge rises upwards, entering in in a back part of a shutter and by that, locking it. A feed by cartridges - from integral box-shaped shop with a single-row arrangement of cartridges, cartridges and emission sleeves are carried out at the open shutter through the top window boxes. On rifles of the Russian sample in addition were available directing for holders,Intended for acceleration rifles. These directing fastened to to a box screws. Rifles Winchester M 70 hunting types were issued under cartridges of various calibres, with trunks in length from 20 up to 28 inches (508 - 711 mm), rifles of the army sample, as a rule, had a trunk in length about 71 sm, and also inflow for fastening a bayonet - a knife on forward a ring.
