.38 caliber weapons in the US, and elsewhere, are actually .357 caliber. Hence a .35 caliber Russian weapon would be a 9 mm, or 8.9 MM for an exact conversion. Does Flemming give the make of the gun? The Makarov was a popular Russian semi auto and it was first made in 1940, still around today. It was a 9MM handgun. So, yes, Russia had a .35 caliber pistol.
The 30-30(always typed with the hyphen)was invented in the late 1890s. The most popular 30-30 was the Winchester Model 94, lever action. However, there were several bolt action rifles made for the 30-30. Remington also made a pump and semi auto for a round that was identical to the 30-30 but it used a rimless case instead of the rimmed case a 30-30 uses. The round was officially called the .30 Remington but many called it the 30-30 Remington. Savage was one of the many manufactures who made 30-30 bolt action rifles. All of these firearms were available in 1960. I personally prefer the Marlin 336(and variants)to the Winchester 94.:)
Thank you! Thank you all.
