Smoothbore carbine TG 3. New smoothbore carbine TG3. Weapons with a Lancaster drill: what, where, when and whether to buy them

Another new product from the Russian concern "Kalashnikov", presented on exhibition - TG3 smoothbore carbine in caliber. The model was created on the basis of the legendary Dragunov sniper rifle and is a modification of the Tiger carbine, already familiar to hunters. What are the differences between the new items?

The main feature of the TG3 is the Lancaster oval screw drill () . Depending on the weapon model, there can be from two rifling (TG3) to eight. Lancaster drilling allows you to improve range, accuracy and accuracy of fire, while according to Russian laws the weapon is still considered smooth-bore.

The new carbine is designed for shooting - they are much larger than the classic 7.62 mm cartridges for the Tigers and SVD; due to the larger caliber, the barrel in the new TG3 carbine is somewhat thicker. TG3 uses single-row detachable magazine with a capacity of 5 rounds.

The total length of the weapon is 1225 mm, barrel length is 620 mm, weight including a loaded magazine is 3.9 kg. The carbine will be available in both wooden and plastic versions - the first models will be produced in “wood”, then plastic will also go on sale.

This Kalashnikov model is another attempt by Russian gunsmiths to “outwit” the weapons law. The new carbine can be purchased with a hunting smoothbore license, because formally a Lancaster rifled barrel is not considered rifled. Thus, the new product should become an analogue of a rifled weapon for everyone who does not want to wait five years to obtain a license for a rifled weapon.

Of course, the new “Tiger” will primarily be of interest to Russian hunters - as an affordable alternative rifled carbines. And according to the manufacturers, in terms of accuracy and accuracy of fire at a distance of up to one hundred meters, the new product is almost not inferior to the original army SVD, but still the caliber 9.6x53 Lancaster differs by not very good flatness of the tracktory The flight of the bullet and the decrease in trajectory at 200m will be about 20cm, and at 300m it will be about a meter. According to eyewitnesses, at the exhibition "Army 2018" During test firing from the TG3 carbine with an optical sight, it was possible to conduct aimed shooting at a distance of up to 300 meters. It follows from this that when shooting from this type of weapon, it is necessary to clearly know the firing distance in order to make the correct adjustments when firing.

How applicable this will be for production models is unknown. Accuracy, accuracy and range will largely depend on the quality of the cartridges and the weapon itself - we can only hope that in mass production the model will not have problems with build quality. However, in addition to open sights (rear sight and front sight), the carbine will have the option of installing an optical sight. This means that the creators envision hunting at long and medium distances.

At the moment, the gun is just getting ready for mass production. There have been no official announcements about the start of sales yet, but at the Kalashnikov stand they promised to release the new product for sale before the end of 2018. There is conflicting information about the price of a carbine; basically everyone focuses on the cost of rifled hunting models based on SVD - from 60 to 100 thousand rubles. In discussions, the amount most often mentioned is 80,000 rubles, but no official information has yet been received from the manufacturer.

Advantages:

• – Possibility of purchasing with a license for smooth-bore weapons
• – High bullet speed (about 700m/s) and high muzzle energy (about 4000J)
• – Confident shooting at a distance of 100m.
• – Possibility of installing various optical sights

Disadvantages of the gunTG3:

• – The 9.6/53 Lancaster cartridge is expensive, there is only one manufacturer of these cartridges (Tehkrim).
• – The design of the TG3 gun has been significantly changed in comparison with the basic SVD model, which will inevitably affect its reliability.
• – Poor flatness of the bullet’s flight path.
• – Heavy weight of the gun, at least 3.9 kg without an optical sight.

You can choose an automatic rifle for yourself from manufacturers and suppliers of hunting goods.
