I've got one, cosmetically it looks a little rough in places i.e the ''engraving'' (stamping) looks a bit crap, but otherwise it's a great gun. The handling is good, fast and pointable, and it's built like the proverbial brick shithouse so will take any abuse you throw at it. I only paid £25 for mine which I like 'cos it means I can actually hunt without constantly worrying about scratching it.

 

Go for it, you won't regret it.

Yeah iam not to fussed about how it looks , Iam tempted by them mp 153 dont no what one to go for though !! may start with the o/u .

I have looked at the O/U 28 bore for ferreting, but the baikal lock is the same size as on a 12 bore, makes the gun a bit unbalanced but it would do the job

 

Now looking at a McNab

I had one,sold it and wish i'd not.

 

Good for anything you want,no frills and as rugged as you like.

 

Only thing i found fault with is mine sometimes didn't always break open completely but you cant go wrong for a few quid.

I take it you cant find a Mp153 near then dont go buying the OU and then wanting something else and buying the Semi-auto later, like i did :11: unless you want two guns

 

the OU will be easier to clean, less breaks/goes wrong, and it is more acceptable at clay grounds/formal shoots etc....Than the SEMI....and also costs less?

The o/u is a couple of hundred cheaper , iam going to look at them both next weekend found a place 30 miles from me that has a good selection of guns . So we shall see !

Chilli which shop you off to?? (pm me if you dont want to put up here) as i said that shop i recommended doesn't stock the mp153 at the minute, however he said he can order them if wanted, thought i would just say that as didn't want you having a wasted trip and then being pissed with me when he didn't have one :wacko:

I was looking for a cheap 20bore for my daughter, and was up in Limerick one evening having a look around the Lazy Dog gunroom.

 

Yer man shows me this baikal 20 o/u, and it weighed more than the shagging 12bore. Looking at it, it seems that the lads at ishmak just got a 12bore frame and barrel set and reamed them out to 20.

 

But in general, these guns are great as a rough shooting tool. They rarely break down and when they do, they are easy to get sorted. On many of them the ejectors can be disengaged, and the barrels can be selected by pushing the trigger forward, thereby making the top barrel trip first (the bottom barrel trips first by default).

 

If they have a downside, it would be that the fit sometimes leaves a bit to be desired, the stock can be short and the comb too high and full, resulting in bruised jaws and cheekbones. Usually, this can be sorted out with a bit of careful woodworking and a good recoil pad.
