Thread: New Baikal 121 Single Shot out

I have a fair few of the old model & like them, a lot of rifle for the money, I see guys complain on the scope mounting & the trigger, well the new ones fix that, shoot & look better even !

Baikal 121

Baikal site seemed to imply 308 only at this stage.

I think I'd buy one, after all their predecessor was a bloody good rifle, not that expensive, and usually shot well.

Yeah I had an 18MH in 243, happily did 3/4 inch groups at 100m all day long.

Got the same in .223 & 12 gauge, awesome for $400 brand new....also break-down easily to put in pack....

I have two 18MH both on loan to friends and am having trouble getting them to cough them back up.
Cheap,sturdy,shoot well and pack down.Plus if my truck shits an axle I have a couple of spares.
The stock looks like a definite improvement on the new model.

looks nice
Do you really need a muzzle break on a 308 ?

Would have thought the barrel would have been shorter on a gun like this. Personally, I can't stand the look of open sights with a suppressor (or muzzle break?). Fortunately both problems easily solved.

Doesn't look good for us getting them just yet as seem to be only in Russian all the info, darn it !

Here is a very good review of the 121 rifle in comparison to the IZH-18 - MP-18, unfortunately in Russian but you get the idea when he does a side by side .

Interesting, very clever how they have altered the trigger/sear/ hammer geometry to give the "chance" of a very nice trigger

Looks just like a blaser

Just borrowed this from a Russian site.

I saw that, but I don't trust some of that stuff, on one site it said the old MP-18 were in 9.3X74 & 45/70, never did see one of them & can't see them doing a 9mm & 380 pistol rounds in one ?

Can get the missus to translate if there is anything specific.
