wizzard83 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 I've picked up a second hand Baikal in very nice condition but the one thing I wasn't told is the chambering. I don't want to get anything too big, and its going to be clays only for now, so is there a way of measuring the chambers or is it best to stick with 2&3/4 to be safe?

CaptainBeaky Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 Look on the underside of the barrel lump - you should find the chamber length marked there (probably 70mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cookoff013 Posted November 21, 2015 Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 If in Europe it should have the code 12/70mm thats metric code for 2.3/4" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizzard83 Posted November 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2015 It says 12x70 which I'm guessing is 12 bore and 70mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
