second picture is unrelated to the first as it’s literally a Pedersen device but on Mosin rifle made by Remington

Petersen nagat fire
America produced large numbers of Mosin Nagants in WW1 as part of a manufacturing contract with the Tsarist government. Research started in 1917-1918 and it functioned similarly to the standard Pedersen device.

on top of that, according to Maxim Popenker, Vasiliev’s bolt conversion for the Mosin M91/30 was from 1942, allegedly uses TT-33 magazines (would make sense too), unrelated to development of Pedersen device for Mosin and M1917s and that’s where all the info available in the net ends

How I miss the old times when the US and Russia were much more cordial with one another…

This image will never not be funny to me. It was the title in a pamphlet handed to US soldiers in WW2 to familiarize them with Soviet forces. Since then neither of them have been on speaking terms.

To be fair, at this point, they were already at the stage of “enemy of my enemy is my future enemy”, WWI was the last point where those two weren’t “mortal enemies”.

it happened when it moved from liberation of eastern europe to a land grab
So, from the start. They did invade a bunch of countries between 39-41. A lot of important figures in the Allies knew this alliance was of the necessity, upheld only by the Nazi Germany still existing. And even if they didn’t satellite the whole of the Eastern Europe, they would still turn into the “next big enemy” (or rather return to, before the Germans got big, it was the Soviets).
