It also speculates on the influence of Nikita Khrushchev in facilitating China's access to SVD technology. The content aims to provide a historical overview of these specific Chinese sniper rifles.
This video showcases Nikita Khrushchev's MTs-11 side-by-side shotgun, a rare and high-quality sporting arm from the Soviet Union. Presented in 1959, it features a Beesley-patent Purdey design with elaborate engraving. Only 600 were produced between 1951 and 1960 by TsKIB SOO in Tula. The presenter notes the gun's excellent craftsmanship despite a stereotypically poor quality case and an unusual lacquer coating on the barrels. The video also includes links to Patreon and merchandise.
