Having to buy basic stuff like that on the open market is a sign that your in trouble.
Wikipedia says
"With the start of World War I, production was restricted to the M1891 dragoon and infantry models for the sake of simplicity. Due to the desperate shortage of arms and the shortcomings of a still-developing domestic industry, the Russian government ordered 1.5 million M1891 infantry rifles from Remington Arms "
- nickik 6y agoWhat is your obsession with rifles? Non of this proves anything. Is your argument really is 'they buy some things from outside' then that applies to every country. Russia has insane numbers of troupes that needed basic equipment and much higher priority things they need to produce that were actually vital to not losing the war. This even said 'with the start of WW1' to it not even an argument about how they did during the war.
