red_stag88 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Nah its ok, i was just wondering. We've basically done the air cylinders and valves, when my old man gets back from on holiday he's going to machine a tool so we can start on the breech block (around the time we need a deposite, but no need to get the cheque (had to get me fancy dictionary out for that one!) book out yet), after that we start work on the trigger mechanism (and that one) making it out of hard steel (bit of a cow). Things are happening, slowly but they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin ni Posted November 5, 2003 Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 looks good yp but better if you had done the whole gun only problem is it might devalue the gun i wouldnt do it to my 687 30 inch sporter i think camo tape would work out cheaper and paint tends to chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted November 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2003 dogs plums - it 40 or 50 quid Colin ni the gun did not cost that much anyway . but as soon as i make me mint i'm having a pair of boss/purdy/holand&holand coated in real tree . lol .

red_stag88 Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I hope that is not a Baikal on the left.... Note the cleaver use of imageary, puting the trophy at the back so subconsiously we think "Trophy with gun - buzzer's photo - buzzer good shot" very cleaver. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crow_Misser Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 Hi all, newbie here, I own a Baikal O/U 12G, as first gun (only had cert for 3 months) and as a low buget gun I've no probs with it, it just seems to miss everthing I point at it As a nearly yorkshireman (from NE Derbyshire and proud ) I'm always worried about my pocket, I got no complaints about the gun for a cheap one, but I'm sure I'll move onto a "proper" one later on or even a rimfire if I feel flush. All the best Top forum Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 7, 2003 Report Share Posted November 7, 2003 I shot a Baikal O/U for about 5 years. Apart from the fact it was a bit heavy, I enjoyed using it and shot well with it. The wood to metal fit, was better than more expensive guns, I,ve owned since. All this was about 25 years ago and I,m sure they have even improved since then. I,m not sure there are any bad shotguns on the market nowadays, just some better than others. The Baikal cartridges were rubbish though. A recoil like a mule, no ear protection meant ringing ears for days and a heap of rubbish flew out the barrel when you pulled the trigger. When I first used them for evening duck flighting, the 3 foot of flame and glowing embers rushing up in to the sky, made me think they were tracers. I hope their cartridges have improved as well.

harryhawk Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Hey don't knock Baikals, as an ex keeper they proved good value. You don't want a good gun thats out in all weathers, gets chucked in the back of a landy. I still have two in the cabinet, 1> 26in sst ej o/u 12 bore. 2>single barrel 410. They both get used, and i wouldn't like to put a figure on the amount of vermin that the 12bore has taken over the years. If you can shoot well with a baikal and shoot rubbish with a purdey what gun would you use the most?? I'm lucky i can shoot with any of my guns and am not wedded to just one of them. At the end of the day it's just like desinger labels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_stag88 Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 I see your point, but you have to admit most people would prefer a H&H to a Baikal. It didnt suit me particually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 Crow Misser you will probably find that your missing through the same reasonn I was missing with my Baikal, the chokes they are to tight I shoot xtra full through my mossy now and the baikal was tighter than that I got mine loosend of and now I can't miss with it. Cranfield the cartridges are o.k now I use them quite regular and they do the job, at a good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil Posted November 8, 2003 Report Share Posted November 8, 2003 i've got a baikel sbs which dispite owning other more expensive guns still gets a fair bit of use.I remember those baikel cartridges aswell cranfield,we used to call them baikel oven ready because whatever you shot was flame grilled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
