I've had mine since last summer mine will shoot all ammo even the cheap stuff accuracy's not as good as my 10/22 target but functioning definitely is trigger has alot of creep but with concentration will turn up good groups disassembly is easy gun breaks into two with one screw and if I remember correctly there is a screw to remover at the back of the receiver and the bolt comes out this way.

I still have not taken it apart yet, hoping to do it when i get 2 weeks off in july.
I will keep you updated. (sorry for the wait)
But I did receive an interesting email from the Maker of the MP-161K.
They are working on an extended mag, it has not be developed yet, but sounds like it will be soon. They told me to stay tuned to the website for the updates.
Hopefully soon.

Not sure if this has anything to do with the Baikal but...
Does it maybe share the same magazine as a pistol? because then it would be limited to 10 rounds in Canada. This is what was said regarding the M&P 15-22:
"this firearm Model is manufactured in both rifle and handgun configurations. The magazine is interchangeable between the two configurations and is considered a "handgun" magazine. Because handguns are limited to a ten shot magazine capacity in accordance with the CC PART III, S.84, Regulations PART 4 Para 3.(1)(b) "The Former Cartridge Magazine Control Regulations", this limits the magazine capacity for the rifle configuration to ten (10) shots, despite the firearm being designed to use rim-fire ammunition."
Wildcrap is hated by all Semi-22s. The 555 seems to work fine my TOZ.
I put 500 rounds of wildcat through my lightly-modded 10/22 (VQ extractor, hammer, takedown screw, buffer, bolt release) in one session and it worked fine. Maybe there was 1 jam, I can't remember.
Sorry to drag this thread out of hell, but I'm looking at buying a first firearm, and am planning on getting a .22 rifle first. My range has the MP-161K for $459, as well as 10/22's for $299 and $319. Is there any reason to drop the extra cash on the MP-161K over the 10/22? Or is that extra money just going to the tacticool designers?
As I understand it, it's not a matter of "whether the magazine also goes in another class of firearm" that makes it a prohibited device. It is what class of firearm the magazine is *designed* to go into. As an example, the CX4 Storm is a (albeit pistol caliber) carbine with a legal 10 round mag capacity because the magazines, while used in the carbine, are considered *designed* for handguns. Not sure how they decide which the magazine was designed for, but I imagine it has to do with firearm using that magazine was made first.

I like mine, I feed it everything from American eagle to Win 555 to Remington yellowjacket and lots of Federal Campion 525 brick.
Very easy to strip down for cleaning. The stock fits very nice. Both the cheek piece and the length of pull are adjustable.
Been thinking of getting a dlask or a green mountain barrel for it to see how much difference there will be in regards to accuracy.

Took my Baikal MP161K to the range today, and was amazed by its performance.
It ate everything I fed it, and every spent case was ejected properly.
The accuracy is awesome, with red dot at 25 yards, I got 0.5-1.5 inches five-shot group fast shooting persistently. When shoot slowly enough for the barrel to cool down, you will probably get 0.5 inch five-shot group, this is incredible for a semi rifle IMO.
My purpose of buying this rifle is for plinking, so I just put a red dot on it. Next time I will put a rimfire scope on it to see how it will perform.
