Re: Soviet Infantry weapons collection
Hi Operheim, thanks for the comments.
No, the PTRD is very different from a Bofors gun. Some info can be found here:

Inert RPG40 Anti Tank grenade. Ruchnaya Protivotankovaya Granata.
A hard to find item here in the West.
This example is a Winter War relic and came from Finland.
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Soviet Infantry weapons collection
Inert RDG33 grenades. Ruchnava Degtyareva Granata 33.
Two different makers.
Some good info on how they work can be found here:
Russian RGD-33 Stick Grenade (WWII & Later - Inert-Ord.net
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Soviet Infantry weapons collection
Inert F1 Grenades.
These are actually East German made copies of the Soviet F1, but make good cheapgrenade pouch fillers for our living history events.
Again good info here:
Soviet F1 Fragmentation Grenade (Modern) - Inert-Ord.net
Cheers, Ade.
Re: Soviet Infantry weapons collection
OK Guys, this is my final item to share with you.
A PU telescopic sight and mounting bracket. PU = Прицел укороченный - or shortened scope.
This example dates from 1943 and was made at plant №357 "Progress". It is my intention to buy a former sniper rifle and rebuild it using this scope.
I hope that you have enjoyed my thread?
I will add any new additions I get in the future.
Cheers, Ade.

That is a fantastic collection. I would love to have a Simonov (PTRS). Ammo for the 14.5 mm is very hard to get in this country.
