Activating the Drum
The drum spring mechanism safety is moved towards the center of the drum, to the marking. This way the drum spring mechanism is on it is necessary to retract the driving spring only. Do it by hand turning the spring mechanism in clockwise direction. If the drum is filled up. 31 4 turns are necessary. When less cartridges inserted, the spring retraction to the end is not recommended. If then is only 1 row of cartridges up to 54 piecesi in the drum, 11 4 turn is sufficient, and by two full rows...
Cocking the Bolt
The bolt is pulled back when the drum is placed on the submachine gun and immediately before firing. The safety lever is pushed forward to the lire position, then the bolt handle is pulled fully to the rear and then returned to its forward position. In bolt cocking, a proper hold is important on the submachine gun grip as it disengages the automatic safety which otherwise prevents bolt movement. The drum rear end is pressed downwards and caught by the latch. Drum placement wide protrusion of...
Mgv 176 Muzzle Velocity
The knowledge of basic ballistic data enables more efficient weapon use. A typical .22 Long Rifle HV cartridge employs a 2.6 g projectile which leaves the MGV176 barrel with a muzzle velocity of 360 m s. The basic ballistic features are given in Tables I and II. 2 - the abscissa of the mid-range tra ectory 4 - the ordinate of the mid-range trajectory 5 - the firing distance the abscissa 6 - the positive ordinate of the trajectory before the point of impact 7 - an example of the negative...
Disassembly and Assembly
The MGV176 can be disassembled and assembled without tools. Disassembly is accomplished in the following order the drum is removed, the barrel checked if empty the weapon is released and stock extended the safety latch of the lower sub-assembly is pushed upwards and held there using a pointing object such as a cartridge the latch of the lower sub-assembly is pressed inwards and at the same time the rear end of the mentioned sub-assembly is pulled downwards, separating itself from the receiver....

Stock and Strap
The stock and the strap enable various modes of firing and carrying the weapon. The metal stock is folding with two special latches which keep it in folded or extended position. The folded stock is fixed by a lug into a recess of a metal on the bottom of the barrel jacket. In extended position, the stock blocks by itself. It can be folded only when the stock latch is pressed forward like button under the receiver rear end . The canvas strap with its appertinent clasps can be attached to the two...
Drum Loading
moving the drum spring mechanism safety to position 0, the driving spring is blocked detaching the spring mechanism from the drum plate this is done by pressing both plugs which are accessible from the drum bottom of the mechanism with thumbs at the same time laying the drum, bottom up to a non-sliding surface turning the cartridge guide at the drum plate bottom away, exposing the loading slot drum plate being turned towards drum housing untill the follower cartridge-shaped shows up in the...
Weapon Cleaning and Lubrication
The submachine gun must always be in perfect condition which is possible by proper use, regular controls, cleaning and lubricating. When cleaning the weapon, it must always be unloaded. Firstly, its outer side is wiped with a soft cloth. The weapon is field- stripped ifigure on page 78 and the inner surfaces also wiped with a soft cloth. More difficult accessible parts are cleaned by a cloth wrapped stick and by no means by a sharp metal object. For cleaning the barrel both, the cleaning rod...
Silencer M
The silencer reduces the report of the weapon. It is more effective when sub-sonic ammunition is used for it is well-known that a projectile makes an additional report upon exceeding the velocity of sound 333 mis . This can not be reduced by a silencer. The silencer is attached to the weapon by putting it over the barrel muzzle and rotating its collar to the right looking from the rear up to the end. It is detached in reversed order with a light stroke on the silencer in the direction of the...
Accelerated Firing Preparations
Accelerated firing preparations are also possible this is done by attaching the drum spring mechanism and cocking it before the drum is placed on the weapon. In this case the weapon must be on safe and its boll cocked in rear position before drum placement, otherwise the drum can not be correctly set because of driving spring resistance. Aiming is performed in the usual manner. After estimating the firing distance the rear sight is set accordingly and the weapon is pointed over the rear sight...

Basic Submachine Gun Subassemblies
The MGV 176 has seven sub-assemblies, shown in the illustration. The MGV 176 has seven sub-assemblies, shown in the illustration. 1 - drum, 2 - spring mechanism, 3 receiver with barrel jacket, 4 - barrel, 5 - bolt, 6 -recoil spring with guide, 7 - grip with trigger mechanism and stock. By basic disassembly lor inspection and regular gun cleaning no further disassembling is either required or recommended. A unique feature of this submachine is that some parts are made of a light but durable...
Ammunition
The MGV176 employs common .22 Long Rifle rim-fire ammunition marked 5.6x16R . It is recommended to use more potent loadings such as HV, High Velocity, Hi-Power, High-Speed and similar. If not available, standard .22 Long Rifle ammunition can be used, but only the copper-plated bullets. Waxed bullets are less suitable, as they lubricate the mechanism excessively which may cause a jam. In comparison to 9 mm cartridges used in most submachine guns, the .22 Long Rifle ammunition is smaller and less...
Mgv-176 Submachine Gun
Automatic safety is formed as a squeeze-lever on the back of the grip. The shooter disengages it automatically when correctly holding the gun grip when he abates the grip, the safety automatically puts the mechanism on safe. This way the automatic safety prevents activating the gun when it falls down accidentally and in similar situations. The MGV176 has a fixed front sight with protective tunnel and the adjustable rear sight in two versions. The rear sight basic configuration has three folding...
Description of MGV Principle of Operation
According to the construction and operating mode, the MGV176 is a typical submachine gun. Its operating system is based on straight blow-back and its bolt has a fixed firing pin. The weapon fires from open bolt. That means that before firing the boit rests in its rear position, and when released by trigger, it is shoved swiftly forward by the recoil spring. The bolt pushes a cartridge from the drum into the barrel and activates it at once. On firing, the gases force the projectile through the...
