Is there anything missing from this Russian wish list?

When I bought my first deactivated weapon (live arms in the UK is far to much hassel) I just wanted an attractive retro gun to mount over the fire place but soon got bitten by the Russian bug lol

I was just wondering if there was anything that looks like it is missing of this wish list without getting too rare and hard to come by items.

In ruff date order:

Mosin Nagant 1891/30
Mosin Nagant 1881/30 Sniper rifle
Tokarev SVT-38/40 - Purchased
Mosin Nagant Carbine - Purchased
PPsH - sub machine gun
DPM - light machine gun
RPD - light machine gun - Purchased
AK 47 fixed stock
AK 47 folding stock
RPK 7.62x39
Dragunov SVD
Romak3 PSL - Purchased
AK 74
AKS 74U

There are items I have left out due to not being so keen on like the PPs-43 (later verson of the PPsH), and of course the AK selection goes on for ever with AK, AKM, AKS etc so I've picked out both a fixed and folding stock AK 47.

Without going to the extreme is there any Russian/CIS gun that is missing from the list which would compliment the list?

You forgot the Mosin model M-44 with a 1943 date stamp. Only 50,000 or so made and a lot less still around.
I have a 1943 with a midrange serial number which looks as new and a compliment to it of a 1944 date stamped M-44 with a 3 digit serial of 284. Both shoot very accurate as long as the bayo is extended. Oh yeah in the Mosin line, New England Westinghouse and Remington made Mosins are getting rare as well.

DPM - light machine gun

Is this the right name for a DP28? If not you have to add that.

How about the 1910 MAXIM on wheeled mount?

I think you should concider the PPS43, it's not as well known as the PPSH41 but it's still a big part of the Russian arsenal of WWII.

That Maxim is cool, but I can't imagine pushing that SOB around the battle field!

Ive seen a Maxim for sale from a UK seller at some of this years arms shows, very very cute (well as cute as a machine gun can be) but not sure the missis would go for one lol
