Ok, I got my deal over a week ago and it shot great! Now I am passing on the info to you.
If you wan't the best BANG for the BUCK 3-1/2" Auto 12 guage out there, it is the Baikal MP-153. CDNN in Texas (do a google search for phone number) has em on closeout. When they are gone, they are gone.
The synthetic models come with the 4 chokes - IC,M,F and XF all reated for steel. The wood stock models come with IC,M and F. It is a great shooter! You can order one for $279.99 in synthetic and $20 more for wood plus $13.49 to your local FFL . All in all, I couldn't be more pleased with my $313.48 purchase! A great fowling piece for 1/4 the price of one of the spaghetti auto-guns!
Remington bought the rights from EAA to sell them here in the US. It is built and functions like a russian tank - tough, reliable, and gets the job done. They did a 50,000 round torture test on this gun in Italy and NOTHING BROKE!
http://www.baikalinc.ru/eng/prod/rifle/mr153_/I have nothing to gain from this, I am just passing on a great deal! The price is about $100 less than what you will buy the Remington SPR-453 (same exact gun with Remington and not Baikal stamped on the receiver)
Yes, I have a Benelli SBE that is 10 years old, but I have recently fallen in love with this Russian gun.
