There was even a swing-out cylinder gas seal version made in small numbers in 1910.

My neighbor has one of the Swedish Husqvarna 7.5 mm's that he is always looking for ammo for. Thing is older than him (he is at least 65) and it's still in pristine condition. I see Nagants all over the place (this shop near my scool had a display case full of them) but never really ask about them
