Baikal IZH-94s are indeed Russian and I don't know if they are currently being imported. An outfit called EAA, European-American Armory, and Remington have imported them in the past. Parts? Who needs parts in a disposable society?
I had an EAA IZH-94 in 12 over 6.5x55 and could never get it to shoot worth a damn. Sold it to a friend who just knew that he had the magic touch to make it shoot, but he gave up on it and, AFAIK, it is still sitting on the shelf where he put it in 2008(?).

I purchased a Baikal in 12ga./.308 about three years ago and am very surprised at the accuracy of the .308 barrel.
So far I have used it on deer , pigs and coyote and have nothing bad to say about the gun. In fact , I have grown rather fond of it.
I don't think it is going to break anytime soon. After all , it is Russian. In that event I will find a gunsmith to repair it.
European American Armory still lists these in several distributor catalogs.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.

Yes, they are Russian and are very robust, just not the prettiest firearms you can buy.
Surprised to hear they are not readily available in the US as they are quite common here.

Wow! That is a neat looking combo gun. I have never seen one like it. Do you know any of the history behind it?

Stagg Built was a Phoenix , AZ company that was around in the 1960's-1970's.They went under for copyright infringements. There were approximately 2000 20 gauge/30-30 built by them.
Latest price on Gunbroker was $650.
Very well made accurate and desirable guns.

In the used gun market they would fetch something in the region of US$600-800. Combo guns generally aren't that sought after here.
