Baikal 50$

[cr0c0p8]

My friend wants to sell me this baikal single shot, 50$, sounds like a good deal to me. The gun aint new it was his grandfathers, seems to be in good condition. I thinks its this model, not too sure...

So what do you guys think? is it a fair price?

If it was his grandfathers shotgun, it might only be chambered for 2&3/4 inch shells, so confirm this. I had one of these, and they're very light. You can't go wrong for $50, if a single is what you want.

It will kick like a mule with slugs, but they seem to recoil straight back, without a lot of jump (if that makes sense).

I had one for a while, was chambered for 2-3/4" shells. Cost me 50 bucks, and was stamped MADE IN USSR. Was a nice light backpacking shotgun!

I have one of the old original Baikal IJ-18's. It was my first gun. Got it new back in 1976. It's a bit loose in the gizmos now but still works great. Chrome lined bore looks like the day it was built and MAN! Has that gun shot a pile of rabbits, ducks and deer. Saskgunowner is right though. They are VERY light and do kick like a mule ( maybe worse) with slugs or 2- 3/4 magnum loads. Great old gun though. I seldom hunt with mine anymore though, BUT I DO usually take it along to give to some smart arse who thinks he's tough, to use when we go skeet shooting. After a box of magnums through that light little 12, they aren't so cocky! Ha! ha!

Make sure to palm a shotshell in your hand that holds the forestock, for that second shot ability.
