Does anyone speak or read Russian?

[Brian]

I think this forum thread may have some good info for us. But even Google translate can only get the bare gist of all the info.
Anyone want to have a go at summarizing?
If we download the pics, may be able to compile into a decent article. There are some good pics of early stuff.

Hi Juris. I just posted an article on an East German 6X3 with a modified hilt. I posted a copy from an article from a Russian book. It would be interesting to know what the text has to say. Could you post a "Quick Reply" with a translation? Thanks, Mike

[Mr. B.]

Juris, this is the Russia text I would like translated: Thanks, Mike

Hello, comrades!

At first, sorry about my English

So text is about technical characterization:

Title: Bayonet (Model of 1959), remaked for using with AK-74

Total length:326mm
Blade length:150mm
Blade width:30mm
Ring's internal diameter:17.5mm

Blade: Steel blade, straight, one side sharpened. The battle end has two sharpened sides, with a concave blade. On the blade has a notch like a "teeth", allowing the blade to be used as a saw. The front of the blade has a rectangular cuts, which allows to attach the bayo to the scabbard and use it as pliers

Excellent! Thank you! At least we now know that the Russian author thought it was modified to mount on an AK-74. Mike

Yes, exactly, remaked for AK-74.

One of the author’s is for me very well known professional
