- Forgive my ignorance, but aren't the Maxim 1910/30 and 'M1910' Maxim (shown on the page) both the same gun? StanTheMan 23:03, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

-- *sigh* Sry I do not know the different versions, but only from the pictures you can see that there were changes at the shield, the "bolt handle", the sights, etc. I guess they are both the same gun, the 1910/30 is probably the updated version from 1930. I guess you can say the same for the Nagant rifles 1891 and 91/30. Please forgive me my ignorance ;-). [[User:Paul_Baeumer|Paul_Baeumer] 28 May 2010

• - Well, your details are fairly minor but are there. And as I've read up, there is a 1910/30 (M1910/30, actually), so perhaps there was a slight 'upgrade' to the weapon like the Mosin rifle. Though I've read there is a 1910/30, I've also read that there really wasn't any real change to the gun since it's standardization in 1910, aside from a modified large water-cooler installed sometime during WWII. In any case, it just seemed a bit redundant to have two sections for what actually is pretty much the same gun. However, they are different, if only slightly. Perhaps we could consolidate both into one article, noting the other guns are original 1910s with the other noted as a 'newer' 1910/30? StanTheMan 00:32, 29 May 2010 (UTC)
