Nope. They were fighting a losing war, taking massive casualties and losing tons of territory at time when they actually hadn't yet developed massive industrial capacities; that capacity would only come some time after WW1. Basically, they were in a war they were very ill-prepared for.
Thanks Jim. My long list really needed another gun on itIt was the 1895 model lever action rifle in 7.62x54r you are thinking about. I've never seen one for less than a grand.
