If you do some searches on other boards the general feeling I get is that those that own them, love them. I've seem to remember them as being described as 'tank like' and able to digest whatever you feed it. I have seen photos of one problem one that had a crack in the gas collar, but it was out of the box this way and not the result of shooting. The owner has stated that the clerk where he bought it had trouble assembling it, and forced the two pieces that were giving him trouble together. So it is unknown whether or not the problem was a factory defect. I couldn't find ant more cases of that problem, They were previously sold as the Baikal mp-153. Let us know what you decide, and if you do purchase give us your thoughts. Wouldn't hurt to add another shotgun to the stable. Here's a video link to a field test.

Well I finally bought it for $300. They said it wouldn't cycle 2 3/4 shells without adjusting the valve...They were right. I shot a few without changing it and it kept hanging up and not cycling the next shell. After I turned the valve 1 and 3/4 turns, it shot like a charm! I haven't had a problem since. The only bad thing is I need to by more boxes of shells because I have been patterning the different chokes that came with it. I give it two thumbs up!
