The rifle is the sniper’s personal weapon. The rifle is equipped with a POSP-8x42L optical sight, which allows for effective targeted shooting at distant targets. For rifle shooting, cartridges with a 7N1 steel core sniper bullet are used, as well as rifle cartridges of all types. A rifle is a weapon in which locking the bore, firing a shot, unlocking the bore, removing a spent cartridge case from the chamber and reflecting it, feeding the next cartridge into the chamber is done manually by moving the bolt. When firing, the rifle is fed with cartridges from a box magazine. The cartridge is loaded into the chamber by the bolt when it is moved forward. To give the rifle stability when aiming and shooting, a height-adjustable bipod was introduced into the design.

2.2 Interaction of mechanisms
In accordance with Figure 1, to load the rifle, insert a magazine 5 loaded with cartridges into the window of the bracket located in the stock 4. In accordance with Figure 3, turn the bolt counterclockwise by the handle and move it to the rearmost position.
Then, moving the bolt forward, insert a cartridge from the magazine into the chamber of barrel 2 and close the bolt. 2.2.1
Interaction of mechanisms when firing In accordance with Figure 4, to fire a shot, it is necessary to move the safety 14 to the left, press the trigger hook 11, which, together with the base of the trigger sear 12, will turn the trigger sear 6 through the adjusting screw 10. The trigger sear turns the intermediate sear 5 and it releases the firing pin sear 2. In accordance with Figure 3, under the action of the mainspring, the firing pin sear turns and releases the firing pin 5, which strikes the primer and a shot occurs. To fire the next shot, it is necessary to unlock the bolt 2 by turning it counterclockwise by the handle, while the lugs of the bolt frame will come out from behind the corresponding supporting surfaces of the box, the screw surface of the bolt frame will move the firing pin back and cock the mainspring. When the bolt frame is rotated, the protrusion at the handle, interacting with the screw surface of the box, moves the bolt back and preliminary insurance of the sleeve occurs; with further movement of the bolt back, the firing pin sear rises under the action of the firing pin sear spring. As it rises, the striker sear releases the intermediate sear, which, under the action of the spring, will turn and fit under the striker sear. The trigger will return to its original position under the action of the spring. With further movement of the bolt back, the spent cartridge case will be removed from the chamber and pushed out of the box by the reflector. The next cartridge is fed to the chambering line and, when the bolt moves forward, it is sent into the chamber. When you turn the handle clockwise, locking will occur, the striker will stand on the striker sear, and it will stand on the intermediate sear. The rifle is ready for the next shot. The impossibility of firing when the bolt is not fully closed is ensured by the presence on the frame of the bolt of a screw surface that cocks the firing pin. If you release the firing pin when the bolt is not fully locked, the shot will not fire, since the firing pin in this case will hit the screw surface of the bolt frame and the firing pin will not go beyond the mirror of the cylinder. If further firing is not intended, the magazine is disconnected from the rifle, the cartridge is removed from the chamber, and the rifle is put on safety.

Technical characteristics of a hunting rifle

The technical characteristics of the MTs-21 are as follows:

• The weapons are produced in Russia, at the Tula Arms Plant;
• Intended for professional and amateur hunting, sports and recreational shooting;
• The magazine holds 4 rounds, another one is in the chamber;
• The length of the weapon is 1,120 mm, of which the barrel accounts for 625 mm;
• Weighs about 3.9 kg. Compared to a classic double-barreled shotgun, the difference in weight is significant;
• Shooting can be carried out with ammunition containing shot, bullet or buckshot;
• The barrel is made by cold forging and has external oxidation.

Since only 12-gauge models have been produced since 1965, this gun can be recommended as a universal one, although it is not recommended for bear hunting due to possible automatic failures.

Scientific research works of V.N. Denisova

Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov paid some attention to creating a design “backlog” for promising developments. In the 60s, he conducted research on improving the design of a harpoon gun for commercial hunters of the Far East and Chukotka, on the use of plastics in hunting weapons, and identified promising directions in the creation of samples of special weapons on the topic “Jager”.

The versatility of V.N. Denisov’s design work is repeatedly confirmed by the creation of samples in related areas. He made an invaluable contribution to the creation of spring sporting weapons and confirmed his highest qualifications as a designer - a nugget - by creating the MTs 600 and ASP-2 crossbows.

crossbow MTs 600

During his 55 years of activity in the field of development of sporting and hunting weapons, Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov created 22 samples of sporting and hunting weapons.

Viktor Nikolaevich - man and master

The period of development of Viktor Nikolaevich as a person and one of the unknown and at the same time famous masters - gunsmiths of sporting and hunting weapons of our Motherland and our time takes more than half a century. In the 20th century, specialist gunsmiths were known to a limited circle of citizens of our country. More famous are the specialists in the field of small arms who made a great contribution to the defense of the country and were also known abroad - these are M. T. Kalashnikov, N. F. Makarov, I. Ya. Stechkin and many others.

Master gunsmiths and developers of samples of sporting and hunting weapons were unknown, although the samples they created were dreamed of by sports hunters and simply weapon collectors.

This situation with the recognition and disclosure of the names of gunsmith designers and specialists in the field of sporting and hunting weapons has remained largely unchanged in the 21st century. This situation needs to be corrected. Our compatriots must know their heroes.

Among such specialists, an important place is occupied by a specialist gunsmith, designer of samples of sporting and hunting weapons, employee of the branch of OJSC KBP-TsKIB SOO Denisov Viktor Nikolaevich, to whom we sincerely wish new labor and creative success.

It is impossible not to mention Viktor Nikolaevich’s faithful life partner, Tatyana Yakovlevna, who has been an irreplaceable assistant and mistress of Viktor Nikolaevich’s large family for more than half a century. The children of Viktor Nikolaevich took their rightful place in this life. Children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren fill Viktor Nikolaevich’s life with family warmth and happiness.

At the very beginning of his creative career, Viktor Nikolaevich adopted the experience of such leaders as I. M. Mikhalev and V. F. Trukhachev, creatively reworked it and subsequently constantly used it to transfer his experience to young specialists and their subsequent education. The workforce of TsKIB SOO, which employs such an outstanding specialist as Viktor Nikolaevich Denisov, is proud to have such a wonderful designer and person in its ranks.

Denisov's weapons for VIPs

The perfection of the design of the carbines created by Viktor Nikolaevich, their reliability and aesthetics aroused genuine respect for the creator of these samples from VIPs and the desire to have these products in their collections.

The first of these samples was the MTs 18−2 carbine, donated in 1966 to a passionate hunter and lover of hunting weapons by the General Secretary of the CPSU Central Committee L. I. Brezhnev. And he was very pleased with this weapon.

And then there was a series of VIPs applying for TsKIB SOO weapons, including weapons created by V.N. Denisov.

As if by chance, right on the 70th anniversary of L.I. Brezhnev, a competition was announced to create a self-loading carbine chambered for 7.62x51mm (.308Win). Participants are gunsmiths from Tula and Izhevsk. The gunsmiths of Tula won. As a result, MC 126 designed by TsKIB SOO Denisov V.N. was presented to the hero of the day.

Original gift.

In the 90s of the 20th century - the beginning of the 21st century there was a “breakthrough” in creating samples for VIPs.

By decision of the management of TsKIB SOO, Viktor Nikolaevich creates for VIPs (by their order) of the oil business a self-loading carbine MTs 551 chambered for a powerful 8x68S cartridge.

Then such high-quality carbines appeared as the MTs 552 chambered for 9.3x62mm, the MTs 554 with quick-change barrels chambered for 8x57 I, 9.3x62mm and .30−06 cartridges.

Conversion and Viktor Nikolaevich

In the late 80s - early 90s of the 20th century after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the government of new Russia announced conversion. A large number of small arms were released and transferred to arms factories for possible conversion into hunting weapons.

Viktor Nikolaevich also contributed to the redesign of military small arms.

At the end of the twentieth century, he created self-loading carbines OTs-18 based on the SVD sniper rifle chambered for 7.62×54R mm, OTs-25 based on the AKM assault rifle chambered for 7.62×39 mm and reloaded manually.

OTs-18.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that V.N.’s own conversion began much earlier than the Russian one. Back in the 80s of the last century, he converted the Mosin rifle and Mosin carbine into KO-44 hunting carbines chambered for 7.62×54R, 7.62×53−13 and 7.62×51A and KO-44−1 cartridges 7.62×54R and KO-SKS (based on the SKS carbine) chambered for 7.62×39−8mm.
