kermitpwee Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 My uncle has a Vostock MU6 with skeet and trap barrels. Its a beauty to shoot, never heard of them before. Any ideas what it's worth? Thanks Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COACH Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yep! I`d love that Russian, but worth a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who had the gun originally but the case it came in has stickers from olympics in the 70's and different championships. It is a lovely gun and seems to pattern extremely well.

HDAV Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 At one time they were only available to Russian Olympic Shooters and taking them out of the USSR was very very strictly controlled its the Beretta of Russia, some say better made. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/ind...showtopic=66827 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) I remember a review which described them as a gun built to last several lifetimes. They are solid, plain and ugly. Obviously condition is unknown, but can we assume it is in good nick? Bit of a niche market, but I would have a stab and say £1500 plus.

Yes the gun is in very good condition, not mint mint but very close. As you say it is a niche market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluke2 Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 Bought one back in the nineties off a guy who was going to smash it because it double discharged on him all the time 200 quid showed it to another guy who fixed it by double opening it without firing it ?,then messing with the trigger? he offered me 600 quid for it, SOLD.

COACH Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I`v seen some that would put several Purdeys to shame. They use to do a catalogue once that would blow your mind. They were engraved and covered in gold birds, pins etc etc and the wood was to die for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 My first shotgun was a Vostok MU6 (i believe), it was previously my dads, who bought it for very little about 30 years ago believing it was a Baikal (was registered on his and my SGC as such), then when it came to my ownership of the gun, I was curious about it. Then discovering it was perhaps the exact opposite of a Baikal. Lovely gun that will never be sold, the build quality on it is top notch and despite being straight hand stock, double trigger, non ejector with the shortest stock i have ever shot, i still loved it and shot well with it. I would keep it personally, they are guns with character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 19, 2010 Report Share Posted October 19, 2010 Most Vostoks are plain, but I agree with Coach. Handled a silver action, heavily engraved, trap gun some 20 odd years ago. Superb - I dropped out of the auction at about £500 - regretted it to this day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya the gun is indeed plain but alluring in its own way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
