  5. My very best congratulations for this great work! I was very surprised and mostful happy to find it on the Net! It gives me so much information about lost or missing parts especially for russian machineguns!I dont speak or can read russian but i can read a technical drawing and there are a lot of helpful drawings!Most times i made some parts copied from pics or loaned ones cause spare parts for some gun are very rare here in germany.
    Best regards

  15. I have a Plainfield 72 pistol, known as the CIA pistol but no manual. I would be happy with a copy of the manual.

  16. A site called “Steve Pages” used to have a dizzying array of firearms manuals. I think it’s behind a paywall now, but you could give it a try.
