Mosin Mine Detector ?

[Wittman1]

Hallo Again,

This time I'm writing to you a question of help about a Mine Detector that was attached to the Mosin rifle. Unfortunately i was able to find only one picture and a very not sharp one. Do anyone could post here any data: pictures, web page links, technical data etc. Anythinf helpfull, I would be GRATEFUL.

Yours Mariusz.

Well if no one knows how such a thing looks like. I will just made „something” to like one from aluminum and on one of maneuvers of our group make some pictures.

Cheers to all Mariusz.

I assume this pic is ww2 vintage ,,i only have reference and a drawing of a similar russian detector from a 1970s dated document stating the search head could be mounted on a 3 section metal or wooden pole or a rifle,The locator in my reference is the model VIM 203M,

I have some limited info on this model, but it is in one of our club magazine from the last eight years. It might take me some time to find it.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Wittman

From the osprey book on russian rifleman, the caption reads to the same picture you have

"a VIM 210 mine detector fitted to a mosin nagant rifle. A 3 section aluminium pole was also provided"

sorry, thats all I know too.

Great Thanks "Reg" but the Google browser only finds your post about the VIM 210

Cheers

Then try to search the right way

Миноискатель ВИМ-210

Well, even the right way you will not find too much information, but yet it is more than nothing! Some photos in here:

pictures_of_war: ??????? ?????????? ? ????? ??? .

Here a scan from old VIM manual:

Âèíòîâêà Ìîñèíà è ñïåöèôèêàöèè ê íåé ñòðàíèöà 2 - Guns.ru Talks

and etc. Search in Russian.

Great Thanks "Sokol". Stupid me could find out myself to change the "Cyrlic" alphabet. Next pictures will be posted here when the project will be at the finish.

CHEERS to all for help in particular SOKOL
