  1. I know I'm 5 years late, but still 1 аршин = 1/3 сажени = 4 четверти = 16 вершков = 28 дюймов = 0,7112м "Good old" non-metric systems XD So, an "arshin" is 0,7112 metres or 0,7777 yards And yes, pre-revolution Russian rifles very likely had their sights in arshins, since it was the standard unit of length in Russian empire since June 4th 1899. They even had their own calendar back then, lagging behind the rest of the world by almost two weeks.
