Baikal MP-153 jamming with new shells

[Tozman]

Pav,

You simply have not completed the break in process of your gun.
The first 100 rounds should be at least 1 1/4 oz.
Firing only 50 of that Kent ammo is not sufficient.
Bring back the gas adjustment setting to approximately where it was originaly. Shoot another 50 rounds of that Kent stuff. Only then start using the lighter stuff.
Good luck.

I have had one for Four years I bought it new from Elwood Epps. It jams continously , The camo started peeling the first time I took it hunting after 4 seasons the paint is toatally gone from the pistol grip . It jams regularly even though i shoot nothing but 3 Inch magnums, The bolt handle kept falling out while I was turkey hunting on it's own so I put a dab of epoxy on it. It would fall out simply by catching on the grass.The magazine spring retainer is cheap plastic and doesn't stay in so you have to be careful when removing the magazine nut or everything goes flying. It did'l have a plug when i got it so I made one . The gas adjustment wrench was missing. The pin fell out of the sling swivel and the front sight fell off. Thank goodness a friend in Europe got me anther one as it's some oddball size. All and all pretty much the biggest piece of SH%T I have ever shot. I fell for the video of the guy from Quebec dipping in in mud and freezing water thinking it would be a good waterfowl and better turkey gun. It works for turkey as most time it's one shot. It weigh a ton for a 24 inch barrel. SHAME ON ELEWOOD EPPS AS WELL AS IT WAS A BRAND NEW GUN AND IT WITH PARTS AND THE MANUAL MISSNG ! If you buy one of these decoy anchors then you get what you deserve.
