Title: my old 12 gage baikal shotgun
Post by: windwalker_au on August 08, 2008, 07:00:13 AM
this is my 1961 model baikal 12 gage shotgun, it has never seen a gun smith all origional sprigs and parts the walnut stock is hand checkered not stamped  it is chocked full and extra full still has the origional blueing the bores are like new and it shoots beautifull patterns and shoots winchester rifled slugs like it was a double rifle,every one that shoots it says how nice it swings.

I want an SKS. Oh, how badly I want one.

Maybe with some of the money from the stuff I'm building between now and the end of the year....

The shotgun is utterly beautiful, BTW. Lawd Gawd it's purty. I've always been partial to nice side-by-sides. Champagne taste and Ripple income -- oh well.
