A post shared by Jacob Fletcher (@fletch610) on Dec 31, 2016 at 4:58pm PSTThe guns are made by the people for the people in the Russian city of Izhevsk, in the Western Urals. That is a couple of hours flight from Moscow.Izhevsk has a legacy of iron working going back to 1760.It survived the revolution of 1917. During the Second World War it was a comfortable distance away from the Luftwaffe and Hitler’s armies and so was of particular importance for arms manufacture.This importance made it a designated closed city during the Cold War years, which meant it was forbidden to foreigners.As the Soviet Union fell this all changed. However the arms factory – Izhevsky Mekhanicheski Zavod –turns out an enormous variety of Baikals to this day. Rifles, pistols and air weapons as well as shotguns.

Baikal Izh 27 Review

The Baikal is a true workhorse that comes whit full instructions and a spare firing pin. Battle tanks and sleepersI first noticed Baikal guns in the 1980s when they were considered a bit of a joke. Theories abounded that they were created from melted-down battle tanks with the stocks fashioned from reject sleepers from the Trans-Siberian RailwayYou wouldn’t have bought the gun for the elegance of the metal and wood finish, that’s for sure. However the guns were tough and performed their task with a generally good degree of reliability.Russia’s transition from communism to democracy marked a falling off in quality control but standards soon resumed normal service.

Also have the advantage of allowing the user to turn the ejectors on and off – an advantage over most other guns on the market in the UK.There’s what looks like a tiny screw head in the face of each of the knuckles, and if you turn each one through 90 degrees, the gun is transformed into a non-ejector.

Baikal Izh 27 Manual Review

The guns are set to fire bottom barrel first, but if you push the trigger forwards until you feel a click, then, for the loaded pair of shots, the top barrel goes first.As for the metal and wood finish – it’s been dramatically improved since the 1980s. Most barrels are internally chromed, are available, and the wood is much smarter. On the other hand, the stocks are still a bit on the short side for some people.But if you want value for money then you’ll find the Baikal shotgun very appealing. Baikal shotguns are inexpensive BUT reliable A new over-and-under would be about £617 A new side-by-side would set you back The technical stuffAll break-action guns are simple boxlocks powered by coil springs. On the over-and-unders hammers are hinged at the bottom, with sears hanging from the top strap.Over-and-unders have single, selective triggers and turn-off ejectors. Stocks are generally about 14in, with drops at comb and heel of 1¾in and 2¾in at comb and heel respectively on newer guns.Multichokes are now available. On new and second-hand Baikals there’s a good selection of barrel lengths.
