Baikal guns can range from the sublime to, well not perhaps the ridiculous but certainly agricultural. One thing they all have in common is that they are very strongly built using excellent steel. I'm sure that Geno, if he picks up on this thread, will be able to add a lot more. I'm looking at an old catalogue now and the side by sides listed there are the Model G544 boxlock non-ejector and the G545 ejector. 28" barrels were standard on both models. There is a sidelock Model G621 MC11-01 which intercepting sears and V springs. Then there is a non-ejector sidelock with chiselled engraving.
At the top end I have a friend who has an over/under that is one of the finest I have ever come across that didn't bear the name Purdey, Boss or Woodward. On the bottom end of the scale I have a single barrel 12 bore in virtually new condidtion that I had to buy in order to finalise a deal on an English boxlock ejector. I literally can't give that single away here in England. One thing, you will not wear them out. Lagopus.....
