gerrygoat;
Good evening to you sir, I trust the day treated you folks well.
If memory serves, I picked up a new Baikal single shot - identical sounding to yours - in a local Saskatchewan gun shop in 1975 or maybe 1976. They were a wee bit less money than a Winchester/Cooey then - maybe $5 or so and in that part of the world were more common then than the Brazilian made Remington single shots that were seen later on.
It had a chrome lined barrel, full choke and while it did take 3" shells, I don't think I ever shot any in it.
Anyway sir, thanks for stirring up a few pleasant memories of duck shoots on big sloughs in northern Saskatchewan with that Russian shotgun.
All the best to you folks this fall.
Dwayne
