Hey guys bout this gun and im curious about the value of it, made in the USSR,

any other info, would be awesome
 
looks like it's in decent shape...if it truly is, nice bores, tight, no cracks in the wood, no metal pitting/rust anywhere etc...depending on gauge, maybe a $400 gun at the most.. it's a Baikal, built like tanks (some say from tanks), somewhat fugly, but a very good gun for the price..
 
sorry its a 12 guage 3" full choke, i absolutely love this gun, ive never shot a shotgun before that i totally fell in love with, its throw up weight is absolutely amazing, i think they look nicer then any other o/u ive ever seen for the price
 
$300 to $350 in very good shape. They are well built guns, but being two triggers, 2.75" chamber, and not choked for tubes makes them a bit less desirable. Don't get me wrong, they will drop ducks like any other gun, but not what most hunters are after today.

Don't get caught with a lead load in your gun if you even think about shooting a duck. You are either upland hunting with lead or waterfowl hunting with non toxic shot. Only one not both.

All I've ever shot in it was 3"

That does not mean it has 3" chambers. First rule after a hunter's safety or firearms course, find out what your gun is designed to shoot. An unfired 3" shell is only 2 3/4" before firing so it will fit in a 2 3/4" chambered gun.. It becomes 3" after firing. There has to be room for it to open and expand. If it is a USSR made gun, I'll almost bet it is only 2 3/4" chambers. At least everyone of the older USSR made guns that I have seen were.
Just curious--how long have you been shooting? If you are fairly new to the sport, this should have been covered in both the firearms course and hunter safety course.

I only shoot steel unless I'm skeet shooting I shoot bbb, 1 1/8 ounce shot only.

Another thing. One barrel will be full choke and the other could be fairly tight as well. You should not shoot steel through a fixed full choke. The choke needs to be opened up to at least modified. As far as the barrel itself, it is chrome lined and will handle steel shot.
 
BBB steel shot is not recommended for chrome lined full choked barrels. As stated 3" baikal o/u's is aa rarity. I'm betting its a 2 3/4". Just because a 3" shell fits in doesn't mean its a 3" gun
 
They sell new for $500-600. Because it's an older one since you mentioned it was made in the USSR, then it will be in the $150-300 range.
 
There has been 4 of the older USSR made ones on the EE in the past few months. They all sold between $350.00 and $450.00 dollars. Like anything, one may find a lower price but I would say that's a pretty good indicator of what the market will bring. Of course if they are all beat to hell the price will be lower. On the one I sold, I had 4 other interested parties right after the "I'll take it".

That seems like a major low ball, just being based on that it is an older model...if that thing was excellent condition..are you saying it would be only worth $150-$300?? because it was made in USSR? I call BS on that.
