oldypigeonpopper Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 hello, can anyone tell me which model this baikal above is having seen one on gun trader. it must be special as most are much 7.5llb. and above. looks an early model but know they are well built and ideal rough gun. hello, there was a baikal O/U i found on guntrader being sold by SIMPSONS of Newmarket Suffolk but after sending an email and phoning today with no return call seems not that bothered, but anyway it had a serial number HO8336 so how could i find out when was made and other info as above. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveo26 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 The letter codes can be traced back to mfg year, Unfortunately many letters and letter combinations were used on two or even three different years, this is not very reliable.

Daveo26 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 No that's wrong, sorry. Apparently the first 2 numbers of the serial number could be the year of mfg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a bog standard double trigger baikal? Possibly made in 1983 if the info on the web about serial numbers is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly made in 1983 if the info on the web about serial numbers is right. hello, yes that is the one daveo, yes i know but it is lighter than most baikal O/U i have seen, but as i mentioned they never returned email or phone call, do you know what model it might be ? so i might find one similar in weight and action. just need a cheapy for pest control. funny i use to have one in the 80s. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
