Introducing the robust and reliable Baikal IZH18MN Single Shot Rifle, a masterpiece straight out of Russia. Manufactured in 2006, this model is a testament to the renowned craftsmanship of Baikal, appealing to both collectors and enthusiasts alike. The gun is in good overall condition, showing some signs of prior use and handling. Included in the sale is the rifle itself, complete with a Tasco 3-9x32mm Duplex Reticle Rifle Scope.
The Baikal IZH18MN is not just a rifle; it's a piece of history. It boasts a 7.62x39 caliber and a break-action mechanism that functions flawlessly. The barrel is 23.5" long with an attractive spiral fluting design. The blued finish adds to its elegance, and the glossy checkered walnut woods stock with a rubber recoil pad provides a comfortable grip.
The bore condition is excellent, super bright and clean, indicating very little use. Meanwhile, the sight/optic system is impressive with a dovetail scope base, Picatiny scope rail, rear adjustable dovetail square notch, and a front fixed graduated blade. The included Tasco scope, despite minor scuffs on the turrets, offers great light transmission with its fully multi-coated lens, nitrogen purged, opti-centered, and capped windage and elevation turrets with 1/4 MOA click value.
However, please note there are very few blemishes on the barrel, and the sling swivel stud on the bottom of the barrel is missing. It appears to have been unprofessionally repaired with cold solder. Despite these minor flaws, this rifle is a solid piece of equipment that brings together functionality and history.
With its unique features and excellent condition, the Baikal IZH18MN Single Shot Rifle is more than just a firearm; it's an investment in a piece of Russian craftsmanship. Don't miss this opportunity to own this magnificent rifle.
