Farma Geddon Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Bill, we have the Baikal MP153 over here in Briton.This is the gun I thought about buying but opted for the Xtrema as I got a 15% discount on account of me A390 having a slight problem!!!!!!!!!Like huge pitting of the barrel!! I recently went to comfort my mate in Chelmsford after he was viciously attacked by an Anti,and when I checked his 391 Urika,guess what,he has pits too!! You should all check your Berettas .Look for dark or black shadows in the chamber,these will spread in time to the barrel walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
