It was with mine, they have a rebounding hammer mechanism . . .

Best scope rail I have found is Weaver TO-10 intended for Winchester 9422 lever action.

It is very low profile and converts 3/8 dovetail to standard Weaver.

As the Baikal is has a 11mm dovetail I used a spacer on each side.

The spacer is the stainless steel strips you get with windsreen wiper blades.

Its a bit brutal but with the barrel off the action fit a spacer into each side of the TO-10 adapter and slide it onto the barrel dovetail, now the fun bit, you hammer the adapter until it bottoms out at the front of the dovetail. Hack saw and file the surplus off level with the breech face.

Looks very tidy, as low as possible and is super durable, oh and cheap.

yes it is perfect..just make sure to hold it closed when recocking...... if you unsure of safety aspect,take off buttplate,insert long flatblade screwdriver up butt hole
NO NO NO
the shotguns hole in stock you kinky thing you!!!!

unscrew and slide off the buttstock...then have a tootoo with cocking lever so you can see how it works...
then put it back together again (Im not telling you how to do that bit,still shocked from last episode!!!!)

Yeah you can. In the USA they are sold as Remington Spartans.
