IIRC, didn't the Russians order huge numbers, but then renege on most of the order - after they had received, and reverse engineered, the first batch? After which, they rolled their own.
Seems to me I reaad that somewhere, and that it nearly crushed S&W for a short period.

I believe you're confusing the No. 3 with the Mosin-Nagant Model 1891, and S&W with Remington.
