i tried but it didnt work my dear. rather this style has a highest probability of accidental discharge if great caution is not applied. wont recommend for any member to follow. the possibility of accidental discharge enhances if the gun is having carbon fouling and is not cleaned properly......... my many baikals include a mp 453 of 2007 , perhaps the production quality of baikal remained at its pinnacle in those years due to its agreement with remington. the US dollars by remington proved to be a fresh blood in the veins of a patient badly in neeed of blood transfusion . plus the quality control of remington nearly caped the ways of a lemon the get slipped through... but when the agreement between baikal and remington broke ( possibily due to baikal's intentions to market its pump actoin in u.s and canadian markt, that would have naturally been proved as a close cpmititor to remington's pump gun , and owing to price and quality of baikal gun was surely going to grab most of the market share from remington ) , the quality of baikal declined till it the matter was intervened by no body else but putin himself, asking baikal to improve its quality and , the baikals quality again upgraded to the level of years it had the agreement with remington in 2010. i use to perform any sort of experience with my mp 453 made in 2007 being the top notch quality
