kst there is another Fedorov rifle chambered for 7.62 × 54 mm and it even has a 3d model on the museum’s website Автоматическая винтовка Фёдорова. Экспериментальная. 1924 год but however, the site indicates some very obscenely low rate of fire, which is most likely semi-automatic shooting in combat conditions, and not fully automatic, which suggests that it did not have the ability to conduct completely automatic shooting due to increased caliber
And then there’s this one which judging by the sign on the bottom is another experimental Fedorov automatic rifle from 1926

there is almost no information on it, but perhaps it already has the ability to shoot in fully automatic mode due to the fact that it is called automatic, but again, this automatic is called only in the old manner, but in fact it is semi-automatic.
And here is a lightweight model with aluminum parts and bipods
and here’s what I suddenly found for myself, in the middle you can see the Fedorov machine gun with a mount for an optical sight, if I find out something else, I’ll add the answer

this is actually a rifle made on the basis of the Fedorov design
but in fact, this is a 7.62-mm sniper self-loading rifle of the prototype of 1933, and at the same time it passed military tests.
in short this is probably one of their SVD prototypes which is already in the game as a premium squad of radio operators for the USSR

and optical sights on the Fedorov machine gun were still probably there, on many thematic forums it is written that they were given to machine gunner detachments at the end of the First World War
(I can’t translate the page into English sorry)
on this Fedorov RIFLE, you can see a strange protrusion that I have not observed in other models of submachine guns\rifles, which may be just designed to mount the Goerz system sight, but it is not known which model
These sights were issued to the" Special Rifle Company " of Major General Fyodorov and just for the sake of honesty, it is worth saying that it was not indicated anywhere that the sights were intended specifically for Fyodorov rifles, but the opposite is also not said anywhere
and here is the most useful source, there were others, but I don’t want to link to the forums because I have already closed the tabs with their pages (https://dzen.ru/a/YW57alVrtCAu-VpX) if you want to visit, you will have to use an interpreter

Thank you, I studied the source, I learned a lot of interesting things.
Maybe if there was more information or maybe just a picture of those optical sights or telecopic sight
installed on Fedorov, we could see them in the game!
