Overview & Condition:
Up for auction is an exceptionally well-preserved, classic Baikal IZH-43M side-by-side double-barrel shotgun. Stamped “Made in USSR”, this sought-after Soviet-era export model represents a period known for vastly superior build quality, tight tolerances, and deep, durable factory bluing compared to later post-Soviet productions.
The firearm has been meticulously cared for and is in excellent cosmetic and mechanical shape:
* Metalwork & Action: Retains deep, rich original factory bluing with crisp, unmarred scroll and bird game-scene engravings on both sides of the receiver. The action opens smoothly, and the top lever locks up tight and perfectly cantered, indicating minimal mechanical use.
* Woodwork: The walnut stock showcases an incredibly clean, original high-gloss finish with rich wood coloration. It is free of major scratches, gouges, or field dings.
* Bores & Chambers: Clean, mirror-bright chambers and bores with absolutely zero pitting or rust.
The Complete Ready-to-Shoot Bundle Includes:
* 500 Rounds of 12GA Ammunition: Complete, pristine, and unopened factory cases (20 boxes of 25 rounds). Perfect high-volume supply for upcoming wing-shooting seasons or clay targets. (Note: Ammunition brand/spec details can be confirmed upon viewing).
* Original Vintage Accessories: Comes fitted with its highly authentic, period-correct Soviet-era olive canvas and leather field sling, alongside a neatly fitted rubber recoil butt pad.
This is a phenomenal, hard-wearing, and reliable “ready-to-go” field package for the discerning wing shooter, farm owner, or budget-conscious clay enthusiast.
