Time to wake up & smell the coffee. The Baikal MP221 45-70 is nothing but a noise making toy; a living room conversation piece that looks a bit like a real double but ain't. Take a close look at the paper thin metal in the barrel walls near the muzzle . If you push that gun with suped-up factory ammo like Buffalo Bore or Garrett or with heavy hand loads you're likely to wind up wearing it. What do you expect for less than $1000?
Interesting first post??
Now for all the doomsayers that predicted the explosion of a thousand Baikals when used with modern 45/70 loads.......has anyone actually SEEN one of these destroyed firearms?
Has anyone SEEN any major issue with any of these doubles that have now been on the market for a suitable time to have encountered a keen reloader or even a Garrett load??
Anyone..........
