Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Any info on Russian made SxS

Bought this gun real cheap, but I think it is better made than the price reflects. It's a boxlock with cocking indicators behind the barrel shrouds. Has coler case hardened receiver with the only markings saying made in the USSR. It also has some very tastefully hand done engraving on it. Splinter forend with a very thin stock. Has very fine checkering and wood to metal finish is flawless. All screws are pointed south. Has sling swivel studs and I think the chokes are full and fuller. Double trigger gun of course that both break right around 4 lbs. It has two locking lugs on the bottom and a dolls head on top. Barrels are 28 1/2" with a Churchill rib that is hand filed. Only other markings on the exterior is on the bottom, which look to be a backwards N and two K's back to back-54. Can't find anything about this gun and was hoping one of you fellas might know something about it. Sorry for the long post. It is also just an ejector gun, but the water tables are jeweld. Butt plate is scroll engraved with what looks like an arrow pointing up in the center. Thanks for any info.

I had a Baikal sxs the same as you describe. It was a pretty good gun. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it had too much drop for me. I had trouble even seeing the barrels

I also had a Baikal it lasted about eight yrs then it stopped going from barrel to barrel when fired and you cannot find parts for these guns.

Is Baikal the only manufacturer of guns in Russia?
