TOP-3 representatives from the Lynx brand chainsaw model range

Video

The equipment was tested in various regions. The main tests took place in Yakutia, where the model performed very well. The improvements made in the Lynx 440 modification improved maneuverability and maneuverability.

A snowmobile is intended for moving people or transporting goods off-road at temperatures from +5 to -40 degrees. The car confidently drives on the crust at high speed. The design of the snowmobile is simple, so even an inexperienced driver can operate it. Maintenance and repair of equipment is often performed at home or in the field. Similar qualities and excellent cross-country ability of the Lynx 440 model made it very popular among fishermen, hunters and consumers who need to move in difficult conditions.

Production of the snowmobile officially ended in 2009. However, many owners continue to actively use the model today.

"Lynx": a gun beyond tradition

The desire of Russian gunsmiths to adapt to the new conditions that arose after the collapse of the USSR and to find their place in the emerging market economy led to the emergence of a number of unexpected weapons, sometimes successful, sometimes curious.

One of these “weapon monuments” of that era was the RMB-93 (combat rifle) , or rather a whole group of civilian models made on its basis.

This smoothbore gun, which can be conditionally classified as a “pump-action” gun, was designed at the Tula Central Design and Research Bureau of Sports and Hunting Weapons (TsKIB SOO) and was intended to arm employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

However, the idea of ​​arming Russian police officers with smoothbore guns (and not just RMB-93) in the manner of American cops was not particularly successful. Despite the best international experience, our law enforcement officers preferred the proven and universal AKS-74U, or, in extreme cases, submachine guns, several models of which were also developed in the 80-90s of the last century.

So, although the gun entered the arsenal of law enforcement officers, it occupied a very modest and narrow niche as a device for shooting various special ammunition. The RMB-93 itself did not enter service with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and did not arouse any interest in the department.

But this design was subjected to “conversion”. The new version very quickly appeared on the civilian market, and in several versions at once. Which personally makes me think that the police history of the “combat” gun is a well-thought-out and successful marketing ploy, which, if it did not provide the device with huge demand, then, in any case, aroused considerable interest in it. Of course: a “combat rifle of the Ministry of Internal Affairs” (or even a “special forces weapon”) is available to ordinary citizens! Then the audience, not yet imbued with healthy cynicism and suspicion, easily swallowed the bait of various advertising tricks.

Actually, at the first acquaintance with the guns of the “Lynx” family (the gun received this name in its civilian version), it becomes clear that the reason for the refusal to accept it into service with the Ministry of Internal Affairs (if, of course, this question even arose) is not only the distrust of the Russian security forces in "smoothbore".

The fact is that the Lynx device is radically different from a traditional pump. This unconventionality of the gun is ensured by its main advantage - compactness. It is also the source of his many shortcomings.

The small dimensions with the full length of the barrel were achieved due to the fact that the gun does not have a receiver as such. Unlike a conventional pump, the Lynx's tubular magazine is located not under the barrel, but above it. The bolt remains motionless, but the barrel itself moves - not back - forward, but forward - back.

The PR-4518 saw belongs to the household class of tools. It has a “Quick Start” option, which makes using the device easier. For emergency stopping of the chain mechanism, a brake is provided here.

In order to reduce the level of fluid consumed, the manufacturer equipped the chainsaw with a calibrated lubrication system.

For comfortable control of the tool, a special lever with anti-vibration coating and a chain mechanism with a low risk of kickback are installed. This helps reduce the risk of injury.

The tool is also used as a lopper during the construction of wooden objects. The diameter of the processed wood should not exceed 350 mm.

A gasoline engine is installed here, so it is recommended to use AI-92 and AI-95 fuel as fuel.

Owner reviews

For clarity, we present to your attention several reviews left by real owners through the comment form on this article.

Alexey Anatolyevich, 54 years old

Good day, friends! I want to share my impressions! I had heard about Lynx saws for a long time, but I didn’t take them seriously, because all around there were copies and fakes (the quality was appropriate). I recently came across the original Lynx PBC-5220 and I simply cannot find words to describe it. It starts easily, does not bounce, and has kickback protection. I will say that the saw is worth the money. I purchased a new one, with documents and a guarantee.

Mikhail, 32 years old

Good afternoon When I seriously decided to take up woodworking, I was faced with the acute question of choosing a chainsaw. My choice fell on Lynx PBC-2512, since our manufacturer, parts and spare parts are easy to find, and energy consumption is optimal. After testing it for a week, I had no desire to give it back or exchange it for another one. I recommend it to everyone, you won’t regret it.

I read two articles (below), it turns out that the discontinued “lynx” is potentially the best pump, especially if you give the opportunity to charge without opening the lid... https://www.ohotniki.com/new1/720.htm “Unconventional pump” LYNX-F ... Giving a general assessment of the design, we note that the price of the gun (about $200) is quite high and does not reflect the consumer properties of the weapon. As for the possible area of ​​application of the gun, it is very narrow. The gun is not completely suitable for self-defense and competitions, since it does not have the most important quality for a gun of this class - reliability, has an unsuccessful safety design, excludes tactical reloading, and also has a trigger that is unsuitable for these purposes. For the same reason, the gun cannot be recommended for game hunting. It turns out that the only area of ​​its application is feather and hare hunting, as well as recreational shooting. Unfortunately, as already noted, the gun does not have the resources for further modernization. It can be assumed that “Lynx” will gradually leave the smooth-bore weapons market and will remain in history as another weapons incident... Caliber

Nikolay Dergachev Alexander Kudryashov

from https://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/1/250946-5.html Or a look at the “Russian pump” on the other side of the ocean Yuri MAKSIMOV, illustrations by the author ... First, let's try to figure out the long-established pros and cons of the Lynx. Critics and owners of the gun point out the following main disadvantages: a long and tight trigger, unusual reloading when shooting, inconvenient filling of the magazine with cartridges. Some complain about the strong recoil of folding modifications and the 'clumsy' design.

Among the positive properties are compactness, good workmanship and reasonable price. Practical advantages - 'combat' design, strength and reliability of the structure. Excellent accuracy when shooting bullets and a wide range of choke tubes make this gun interesting for the buyer. The shooter quickly gets used to the non-standard algorithm for reloading a gun. ... But there are disadvantages. In my opinion, there are only two of them: you cannot throw a single cartridge straight into the chamber and there is no way to reload the gun with the magazine cover open. ... I'm so used to the 'U' model that I shoot clay pigeons with it better than with the TOZ-34 (although I have an MTs-8 for these purposes). To summarize, I repeat that the Russian Lynx pump is better than the American pump-action pumps. Having bought the Lynx and tried it in action, many Canadians got rid of locally produced pumps.
