Soviet Olympic/Match firearms – Manuals wanted

[PMB27]

I'm new to the Forum. I hope I chose the right discussion panel for my question.

I’d like to ask if among the Forum Members are owners/users of the Soviet Olympic/Match firearms ( imported in the 60’s to UK ) who would be willing to share Manuals/technical instructions of their weapon?

Please have a look at the old advert of the Soviet Olympic weapon offered in UK in the 60’s :

I assume that since the Soviet firearms were advertised in UK, there should be owners, who perhaps still have a full factory set, including the manuals.

I managed to collect a small Soviet Olympic team – MC-13 [ МЦ-13 / Mts-13 / MU-13 ], Typhoon-3 [ Тайфун-3 ] and MC-2-3 [ МЦ-2-3 / Mts-2-3 / MU-2-3 ] but unfortunately without original documents, accessories, spare parts. In fact I do not even know the manufacture year of my rifles – my MC-13 and Typhoon-3 do not have a manufacture year stamped on the top of the receiver. I wonder if it is possible to assess the manufacture period by the serial number? My MC-13 s/n is NH 240, Typhoon-3 s/n is M247. 

I'll be grateful if owners of the Soviet match firearms could share their opionon, experience and knowlegde.

I had indeed a Vostok MU1 pistol. In its wooden box with all the accessories. Sadly long ago sold and in any case all banned de facto by the Tories in 1996 and by Labour de jure after the General Election of 1997. UK eBay does sometimes see the wooden boxes listed.
