Another angle

You've really found an interesting weapon Juha. Look at that point-blank sight. Great!
No idea of the model, though. But the area at the time those photos were taken weren't very cosy.

Yes indeed! I'm also looking forward in hearing what gun this is.

[Prts]

Had to start figuring out this one. Now after some research I say: Solothurn S 18-1100. Do not know the Finnish Army designation for this. Might as well be that no such exist because only one was bought for trials (http://www.jaegerplatoon.net/AT_RIFLES2.htm).

[John Hilly]

No, it cannot be Solothurn because there's no hydraulics (?) under the barrel.

Could it be 20 ItK/30 BSW/Gustloff taken off from its cradle and aiming system simplified or temporarily removed?

Solothurn S 18-1100

Yep, the only gun of that type in Finland.

Your turn next.

Look at that point-blank sight. Great!

Yep, it seems to have three different sights, iron, telescopic and reflector.

No, it cannot be Solothurn because there's no hydraulics (?) under the barrel.

AFAIK the "hydraulics" at the photo are part of the cradle recoil buffer system.
Here some photos of three S 18 variants:

Next field artillery. What's the type of this arty piece?

[Prts]

I'm not deliberately trying to make it harder. Just noticed that the picture is a mirror image. Here's the same corrected.

[Juha Tompuri]

Soviet origin 76 mm divisional gun M1902/30 L/30 a.k.a. 76 K 02/30?

Regards, Juha

[Prts]

A bit too easy maybe. Your turn.

[Juha Tompuri]

Thanks, not that easy, at least for me.

A new one, name where this photo is from

[John Hilly]

Most probably machine gun & gunnr of DC-2 "Hanssin Jukka"?

Well done J-P.
