Can anyone tell what rifle the center man is holding? An M.88/90? This pic is from a photoset on the Balkan wars. I'm doing homework on the M.88/90 with Greek VVV I'm getting in this week. SW

Can't blow up the picture large enough to tell for sure but from the sight (and the feller' s on the left) I think you are correct. A gap between the trigger guard and the magazine would tell for sure |

That's a M90 carbine, like the two fellows to the left... "M95" action, but made when M88/90 was still the main rifle. If in Balkan Wars, it came from Bulgarians. Could you point out where you found this photo? |

It was on a Russian site. They never show where they lift pics & seldom even have captions. Like this M.95 pic I found just yesterday in a photoset "war trees". SW mil4.jpg [ 103.56 KiB | Viewed 5223 times ] |
