Carbine MP-142K or Baikal-142 Irbis

Design of Tu-142

The fuselage has a round cross-section, working skin, a set of stringers and frames. From a technological point of view, the fuselage included the nose section (up to frame No. 1), the front sealed cabin (sp. No. 1-13), the middle part of the fuselage (sp. No. 13a-49), the rear part of the fuselage (sp. No. 50- 87), rear pressurized cabin (sp. No. 87-93).

The front pressurized cabin is two-story. The upper part was reserved for the crew and a significant part of the equipment, the lower part was divided into 3 technical compartments.

The middle part of the fuselage was occupied by two weapons compartments, which contained means for searching and hitting targets (beacons, explosive air sources, torpedoes, missiles, mines, bombs, and other weapons). The fuel tank is located under the second weapons compartment.

The rear pressurized cabin was equipped with cannon mounts with a pair of GSh-23 and AM-23 cannons. At the top is the equipment compartment for the Krypton radar.

The wing of the Tu-124 is of the caisson type. The center section layout is made as a single unit with the fuselage. The internal parts of the wing consoles were occupied by sealed fuel tanks.

The means of wing mechanization are double-slotted flaps, which are equipped with an MPZ-12M electric drive.

Roll control is performed using classic ailerons. A flettner trimmer was attached to the right aileron.

The tail unit is of the caisson type, single-finned. The adjustable stabilizer consists of two parts, which are joined along the axis of the aircraft, and is rearranged when the MUS-3 electric drive is activated. The direction and elevator rudders have partial axial aerodynamic and weight compensation. The parts of the elevators are connected by a cardan shaft. The trimmer-flettner is attached to the right elevator, and only the flettner is attached to the left elevator.

The aircraft landing gear is a complex structure of 12 wheels on each strut, which includes multi-disc hydraulic brakes. Subsequently, the chassis was simplified, and four-wheeled supports began to be installed, such as on the Tu-95.

The Tu-142 chassis is tricycle and has a nose gear. The racks are retracted into the chassis nacelles by using the MPSh-18MT electrical mechanisms.

The front strut is released using a hydraulic system, and in an emergency it can be done using a pneumatic system.

IZH-27M shotgun: storage and care

The gun must be stored in a completely dry place. Any penetration of moisture can lead to oxidation and rust of metal parts and components. The barrel must be separated from the gun. The triggers and locking locks must be in the deflated position. All gun parts, such as the forend, barrel, pads, and hinge pin, must be well lubricated. This is a mandatory condition, since even with high-quality chrome plating of gun parts, after the very first shots it begins to crumble. With intensive use of a weapon, carbon deposits always form on the inner surface of the barrel.

Therefore, before lubricating this key part of a hunting rifle, special attention must be paid. The inside of the barrel is washed with warm water and wiped dry

Lead residues are removed with a soft brush. Experienced hunters know that the pinch screw must be constantly tightened. Even a small amount of play can affect the quality of shooting.

In order for the gun to serve its owner as long as possible, you should not click the trigger when there is no cartridge in the barrels. It would be more correct if the spent cartridge case is in the chamber; only in this case can we guarantee minimal abrasion of the key parts of the gun.

Specifications

All design changes that were made in subsequent years in the development of new models of hunting weapons, to one degree or another, repeated the innovative solutions of the IZH-27M. The characteristics, both technical and dynamic, do not differ significantly from the base model. For example, the Sever combination shotgun, produced in 1993, combined a rifled upper barrel chambered for rimfire and a lower 20-gauge smooth barrel.

As you can see, the basic design idea of ​​the basic IZH-27M gun was retained. The characteristics of subsequent samples also did not undergo any significant changes. In 1995, a new product appeared on the shelves of hunting stores, the IZH-94 model, which repeated the basic idea of ​​the 27 model.

The upper smooth barrel is 12-gauge, the lower one is rifled for various Magnum or Winchester cartridges. It is worth noting that a year later the IZH-94 still received separate zeroing of the barrels. A new type of trigger mechanism was installed on the gun, which made it possible to release the trigger of the lower barrel with a trigger. This significantly improved the quality of shooting.

Basic characteristics of IZH-27M:

• Barrel caliber, mm – 12, 16, 20.
• Weight of the gun, kg – 3.2-3.4.
• The diameter of the barrel channel is 12 gauge, mm – 18.2.
• The diameter of the barrel channel is 16 gauge, mm – 17.0.
• The diameter of the barrel channel is 20 gauge, mm – 15.5.
• Chamber length, mm – 70 and 76.
• Pistol stock, wood - beech, walnut.
• Muzzle constriction of the lower barrel, mm – 0.5 (payday).
• Muzzle constriction of the upper barrel, mm – 1.0 (choke).

Story

Hunting carbine Mauser 98

The history of the Tiger carbine dates back to 1963, when, under the leadership of the famous firearms designer Evgeniy Dragunov, the Dragunov sniper rifle, better known under the abbreviated name SVD, was developed and put into production. The purpose of creating the SVD rifle was to create a weapon capable of replacing the sniper rifles, which were outdated by that time, based on the Mosin rifle.

The new rifle had to meet all the military requirements for weapons of this type, and it was Evgeniy Dragunov who managed to create such a weapon. The SVD combines such qualities as: high accuracy, maneuverability, unpretentiousness to operating conditions and ammunition.

The first samples of the Tiger carbine were created precisely on the basis of the SVD rifle in the early 90s of the last century and were as similar as possible to the combat samples of the SVD.

In 1996, a version of the carbine was created, which received the designation “Tiger-01”, it was designed for sale on the American market and was adapted to the requirements of the American market: the barrel was shortened and the magazine capacity was reduced.

In subsequent years, the Tiger carbine was produced by the plant in several modifications, differing from each other in the type of stock, barrel length and other design differences.

In addition to the production of carbine in 7.62x54 caliber, the plant also mastered the production of carbine in 308 Win and 9 mm caliber.

Disassembly

Maintenance - cleaning and lubrication, require only partial disassembly. Its scheme is as follows:

• pull down the forend latch on its lower surface and, holding it, turn the forend away from the barrels;
• disconnect the forend;
• turns the unlocking lever to the right - at the top of the box;
• turn the trunks down to the limit and detach them from the box;
• unscrew the screw of the back of the head and remove it;
• Unscrew the screw securing the trigger guard. Then the bracket is turned counterclockwise to unfasten it from the larva;
• unscrew the screw passing through the butt, and then lightly hit the box against the wood to loosen the fastening of the butt with the box;
• remove the butt.

Complete disassembly, in addition to the above operations, includes disassembling the trigger, locking mechanism and ejection mechanism. Complete disassembly is carried out only for repairs.

The rifle is assembled in the reverse order.

The gun is stored disassembled, but the forend is attached to the barrels.

Principle of operation

The MP-142 K is a bolt-action carbine, and its operating principle is no different from any other bolt action.

1. To load the carbine, you need to press the latch on the left and remove the magazine downward. The magazine is loaded with cartridges one at a time and inserted back with a click.
2. When the bolt handle is turned up, the carbine is unlocked and the bolt can be pulled back. The firing pin moves along the bolt frame and compresses the mainspring. Then the bolt is moved forward - in this case the cartridge is sent into the chamber, and by turning the handle down and to the right the barrel is locked.
3. As a result of the manipulations, the protrusion of the striker should engage with the combat protrusion of the sear.
4. When pressed, the trigger rotates and disengages sear No. 2 from sear No. 1. At the same time, the mainspring straightens, pushing the firing pin, the latter recesses sear No. 1. The sear moves forward and breaks the primer. This is how the shot is fired.
5. To reload, open the shutter, pulling it back to the limit. In this case, the spent cartridge case is pushed out of the chamber, and the next cartridge is fed to the chambering line. The bolt is moved forward - the cartridge enters the chamber.

Changing the barrel is of greater interest to the hunter. The replacement is made together with the combat larva.

1. First of all, remove the stock by unscrewing the fastening screws.
2. Partially loosen the screws connecting the barrel to the box. The barrel is turned clockwise and removed forward.
3. Installing a new barrel is done in the reverse order.
4. To change the combat cylinder, the back of the bolt is turned clockwise until the grooves on the barrel and the protrusions on the back of the head match. Then the back of the head is removed.
5. Move the hammer to the rear position to release the lock. The latch is removed, and then the combat cylinder is removed.

Installation of a new larva is carried out in the reverse order.

Production of Tu-142

Based on the external similarity of the Tu-142 and Tu-95RTs, serial production was launched at aircraft plant No. 18 in Kuibyshev. The plant's capacity in 1972 allowed it to produce 12 new anti-submarine aircraft. But if we take it as a whole, this plant provided the Navy with 18 Tu-142s, including the first three prototypes. During the production process, improvements were made, and the second batch, which at plant No. 18 was represented by three aircraft, was significantly different from the first batch.

In 1973, production of the Tu-142 was moved to Taganrog to aircraft plant No. 86. The designers of this enterprise also modernized the design. In particular, they replaced the landing gear from 12-wheelers to standard 4-wheelers from the Tu-95, improved the cockpit and carried out some other modernization work. The name of the aircraft remained the same - Tu-142, but the technical documentation was accompanied by the name of the product "VPM" - modernized "VP".

As it turned out, the Taganrog plant was not suitable for the production of aircraft of this class. We had to complete the construction of new workshops and a new large runway. As a result, the first construction of the Tu-142 at plant No. 86 was completed only in 1975. The latest model Tu142M3 was released in 1994. During the period of serial production, about a hundred Tu-142 aircraft of various modifications were built at the Kuibyshev and Taganrog plants.

Security measures

When handling the IZH-27M gun, you should follow the safety rules that you need to remember.

1. Even an unloaded gun should never be pointed towards people.
2. When transferring the gun to another person, you must ensure that the chamber is empty.
3. When shooting, the butt must be pressed firmly against the shoulder. You shouldn't shoot from two barrels at once.
4. You only need to turn off the safety just before the shot, when the target is identified.
5. When selecting a target, your finger rests on the safety guard, not the trigger.
6. For confident shooting, use only proven factory brands of ammunition. Moreover, their shelf life should not exceed four years.
7. If it misfires, you should not move the gun to the side. It is quite possible that a “lingering” shot occurs due to a malfunction of the cartridge primer. Wait 2 minutes and unload the gun with the muzzle and chamber facing away from you.
8. If you can hear a change in the sound of the shot, then you should stop shooting and clean the barrel channels of the gun.
9. It is prohibited to shoot from a faulty IZH-27M gun.
10. It is necessary to constantly carry out preventive work.

Expensive hunting rifles. Prices and types of models

Every amateur or professional hunter wants to have in his arsenal a special, exclusive gun that would fully satisfy his interests and wishes. Unfortunately, our needs do not always coincide with our desires. It is known that world brands are much superior to domestic manufacturers in the quality of hunting and sporting weapons. Some hunting enthusiasts specifically collect exclusive hunting rifles, the prices of which are sometimes astounding. Here are some examples:

• An Italian double-barreled shotgun with a block of vertically connecting barrels was sold to an unknown collector for $111,000.
• The largest American holding company for the production of hunting and sporting weapons, Remington, sold its smoothbore model in 1922 for 134 thousand US dollars.
• A legendary American hunting Winchester was sold to a Japanese collector for £152,000.
• The Belgian manufacturer of hunting rifles “Browning” valued its creation at 222 thousand dollars and presented the smoothbore weapon to Adolf Hitler. After Hitler's death, the gun disappeared without a trace. Unfortunately, the fate of this model is unknown today.
• The most expensive collectible gun in the world is considered to be an exclusive model from the Swedish family company VO Vapen AB, founded in 1977. The gun costs 820 thousand dollars. The King of Sweden, Carl XVI Gustaf, owns such an exclusive product.

MP-155 – a new hunting rifle at highly attractive prices

Toz-17 hunting rifle
For example, the famous Kalashnikov concern at the beginning of September 2017 announced the start of sales of the MP-155 hunting rifle. The highlight is not only in the updated design. Technically, this hunting rifle has absorbed all the best qualities of the 153rd model.

The MP-155 stock is made of walnut. The stock neck and fore-end in a thin design have improved ergonomic qualities. The butt plate has become more effective. The manufacturer also increased the magazine cover. Interestingly, the MP-155 is also perfect for left-handers.

With calibers 12/76 and 12/89, the plant offered hunting enthusiasts a wide range of barrel lengths - 61, 66, 71 and 75 centimeters. With the first specified caliber, the weight is 3 kg. 150 gr., with the second - 3 kg. 250 gr.

Prices for hunting rifles in different modifications vary, on average, from 24.6 to 37.3 thousand rubles.

Operating principle

MP-27M is a line of double-barreled vertical shotguns with some changes in design, but with a single principle of operation. Guns are designed to fire cartridges with plastic, metal and paper cartridges, as well as bullets with a diameter 0.2–0.3 mm less than the diameter of the barrel bore. At the same time, it is prohibited to use caliber bullets made of hard materials - steel, brass.

All models require the use of lead shot. For steel shot, special modifications are produced, the barrels of which are marked “Steel shot”. The same applies to choke constrictions: those that can be used for shooting steel shot have about.

A rifle with a chamber length of 70 mm allows the use of cartridges of any kind, with the exception of those marked “Max.1050 bar”. A shotgun with a chamber length of 76 mm requires the use of such a cartridge, that is, for models tested under a pressure of 1320 bar.

For firing from Lancaster drilled barrels, cartridges such as “Gualandi”, “Brenneke”, “Sabot Slug” are recommended. Any 20 gauge cartridges loaded with shot can be used.

• Shooting is carried out sequentially: according to a standard pattern or with a change in order. If the rifle is reloaded after one shot, it is recommended to place an unfired cartridge in the chamber of the barrel that has already fired, and use the second to unload the barrel that fires second.
• A “lingering” shot is possible due to the slow firing of the primer. If the shot does not occur when you press the trigger, you should hold the rifle towards the target for another 30–40 seconds and only then reload.
• Changing the operation of choke constrictions is carried out traditionally: the nozzle is screwed into the barrel until its end ends against the protrusion in the barrel channel, while there should be a gap between the end of the barrel itself and the cylindrical fragment of the constriction. On the muzzle side, the nozzle should be flush or slightly recessed.
• The choke tightness is checked every 50–100 shots. Before shooting, it is imperative to check the visual integrity of the ring, which is formed at the junction of the narrowing and the protrusion in the channel.
• The rifle is usually loaded: turn the unlocking lever to the right until it stops, turn the barrels down. Then the cartridges are inserted into the chambers one by one and the barrels are returned to their original position. The unlocking lever is in the center in relation to the shank of the box. If this does not happen, the lever is adjusted manually.
• Before firing, the safety is switched to the “fire” position. They do this at the last moment, when the rifle is already aimed.

Design

MP-142 K is a modular rifle. Structurally, it is divided into the following parts:

• receiver – holds ammunition with a total length of up to 85.6 mm. To unload the box, install a chamber with direct locking. There is a barrel coupling between the barrel and the box;
• barrel - made of barrel steel grade 50 AR, using cold rotational forging, the channel is not chrome-plated. The barrel is secured into the box from the front using a clamp-wedge connection. After installation, you need to check the locking of the lugs. With a length of 560 mm, the barrel has 6 grooves - this solution is optimal for bullets weighing from 3.56 to 4.08 g;
• bolt assembly - the barrel is locked with 6 protrusions placed in 2 rows. The unlocking angle is 60 degrees. The bolt is hexagonal, the combat cylinders are replaceable. The larva is secured using a cylindrical lock. A spring-loaded reflector is provided for the larva. The signal protrusion is integral with the striker: when cocked, it rises on the rear of the bolt, which serves as a signal that the striker is cocked. The fuse is located on the shank of the box and has 3 positions. When moving in the direction of fire, the safety switch is turned off - a red dot appears; when moved against the direction - it turns on;
• the magazine is box-type, removable, holds 3 or 4 rounds depending on the caliber;
• The USM is assembled on its own base and attached to the box with two pins. The trigger force can be adjusted - 10–30 N. It is possible to install a trigger system with a trigger on the carbine;
• stock - made of beech or walnut wood.

The carbine is equipped with a front sight and a whole carbine. Their relative position ensures the compatibility of the pupil of the eye with the aiming line. In addition, a 16 mm dovetail mount and a 12 mm Weaver rail mount are provided for a typical scope.

History of the creation of MP 153

In 1993, a repeating shotgun with a movable fore-end, model IZH-81 (predecessor MP 153), was developed and put into production. Almost all leading companies producing repeating shotguns have a duplex in their program: a repeating shotgun and a self-loading shotgun, using a similar locking system, cartridge feeding and trigger mechanism.

Proactive development of a self-loading gun based on the IZH-81 began in 1997. In 1998, comparative tests of two samples were carried out: a model developed in the design bureau of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, and a model of a self-loading gun based on the IZH demonstrated by an employee of a Nizhny Novgorod trading company -81. And although their tests demonstrated unsatisfactory performance, this served as a catalyst in order to transfer the development of a self-loading gun from the category of initiative to planned. Studies have shown that the IZH-81 base (receiver with a moving system) can only accommodate a cartridge with a sleeve length of 70 mm.

A sample of caliber 12/70, designated MP-151, passed the necessary set of tests and was preparing for mass production; was demonstrated at the International Exhibition IWA'99 in Nuremberg. However, the American dealer of the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, Keith Burnkrant (European American Armory), made it clear that such a model would not be in demand on the US market. You need a model chambered for 12/89 that will provide reliable performance in a wide range of load options - from 12/70 with reduced shot weights for bench shooting to heavy 12/89 loads.

It was decided to stop preparing for the production of the MP-151 and begin developing a model based on the use of 12/89 cartridges. From ready-made MP-151 kits, a small batch of guns (70 pieces) was assembled, which were sold within the Udmurt Republic.

The design of the MR-153 began in 1999. The work was entrusted to a group consisting of Konstantin Evseev (born in 1970, a graduate of the mechanical engineering faculty of Izhevsk State Technical University, 1996) and Alexander Kalugin (born in 1974, a graduate of the mechanical engineering faculty of Izhevsk State Technical University, 1997 G.). The analysis showed that in order to meet the requirements of a potential customer for the possibility of using 12/89 cartridges and ensuring reliable operation in the entire range of ammunition used, significant reworking of the IZH-81 design is necessary.

Advantages and disadvantages of the MP-142K carbine

Although the presented carbine is a fairly new model, many users have already not only purchased this weapon, but also left their opinion on the advantages and disadvantages of this model. The undeniable advantages of the model include the following characteristics:

• The accuracy of the carbine is at a very high level. If these indicators are traditionally high for all classic bolt-action carbines, then for weapons equipped with interchangeable barrels of different calibers, such accuracy parameters are a great achievement. However, accuracy with any barrel is high;
• The patented barrel mounting module allows even an inexperienced shooter with a minimal set of tools to quickly replace the barrel, while stabilizing the point of impact;
• The barrels are of high quality, their feature is the correct shape of the barrel channel;
• To securely attach the receiver to the stock, polymer resin is used. This provides the structure with greater strength;
• The locking system is double-row, so this unit is very durable and reliable. The shutter is made according to a design that completely eliminates its wedging in the rear position;
• The fuse operates in three modes: “fire”, “protection” and “safe discharge”. Since the fuse is located on the upper part of the neck, it is convenient to use both right-handed and left-handed;
• The adjustable trigger pull is a big plus as it allows the hunter to adjust the trigger pull to suit their needs.

As for sighting devices, although the carbine is equipped only with a standard rear sight and front sight, the presence of a dovetail and a Weaver rail makes it easy to equip the weapon with sights of various types.

There are also shortcomings, but since the model is new, there is a chance that they will soon be corrected by the manufacturer. According to the long-standing tradition of domestic gunsmiths, a new, improved model may appear, although this will not guarantee that the shortcomings of the previous model will disappear.

The disadvantages of the MP-142K are as follows:

• The carbine, despite its simple design, is quite demanding on the quality of cartridges;
• High cost, although for a modular system 80,000 rubles is not the highest price.

Otherwise, no significant shortcomings were found in the new modular carbine, although the build quality of Izhevsk weapons is traditionally not the best.

Decor

The MP-161K model is very attractive due to its original ergonomic design. The design of the weapon is characterized by laconic forms and the absence of unnecessary details. In the manufacture of the case, modern high-strength plastic containing reinforced fiberglass is used.

The working parts of the carbine are equipped with special, very elastic elements designed to make the process of using this weapon as convenient as possible. Regardless of weather conditions, a reliable grip and hold of the carabiner is ensured. Adjustable stock and comb complement the design of the MP-161K hunting carbine. Owner reviews indicate that this model is easy to configure according to the individual anthropometric characteristics of the shooter. The stock and butts, instead of swivels, are equipped with special slots for belts. Thanks to this, any metallic sounds, which are very undesirable during hunting, are eliminated.

Self-loading small-caliber carbine MP-161K and Baikal-161 “Manul”

Another interesting development of IZHMEKH was the MP-161K rifle, which is radically different from all previously described models. In addition to modern design, the carbine also combines a huge number of innovative design features that simplify the process of using the weapon.

Here are just the points that the manufacturer himself calls for attention:

1. Adjustable stock. You can adjust not only its length, but also the height of the cheek rest, making the weapon perfect for shooting with open sights and using optics.
2. Shockproof housing. The rifle stock is made of plastic with a high polymer content, which is also reinforced with fiberglass. That is, you will have to really put in a lot of effort so that the damage remains visible on the rifle.
3. Improved ergonomics. In addition to the adjustable stock, this is also facilitated by linings made of elastic material in the grip area (handle, fore-end). The weapon lies securely in the hand even when shooting in heavy rain.
4. Trigger mechanism with cocking indicator. If the safety does not have color indicators, it can be quite difficult to recognize whether the weapon is loaded. However, the MP-161K has a special indicator that will indicate the platoon.
5. Detachable box magazines. There are several of them included in the kit, so during hunting or shooting practice, the owner of the carbine is unlikely to experience a shortage of cartridges.

In addition to all this, the MP-161K weapon also has an adjustable sighting device in the form of a rear sight and front sight, a Picatinny mount for installing optics or a collimator, as well as other features that will surprise few people. All this guarantees not only ease of use of the rifle, but also good technical characteristics:

Another self-loading carbine chambered for small-caliber 5.6 mm cartridges is the Baikal-161 “Manul” carbine, which is a full-fledged development of the MP-161K model. The rifle combines not only an original design, but also a rather unusual design, which is close to professional sporting rifles, although the main purpose of the weapon is hunting. Here are just the features you might be interested in learning about:

1. Trunk. The channel is made using the radial compression method, but at the same time hangs freely, and also has threads for installing replaceable muzzle devices.
2. Sights. Although these are the same front and rear sights, they are made in a completely different style. At the client's request, fiber optics can be applied to the sight.
3. Reliable automatic with free-running shutter. The shooter can focus on the target and shoot accurately and quickly, unlike bolt-action rifles.
4. The stock is made of wood (walnut) with an ergonomic Thumbhole-type handle, which is not only much lighter than its analogues, but is also very comfortable to grip.
5. Notches on the handle and fore-end. It is performed using a special laser and consists of a fine mesh.

But the technical characteristics of the carbine remained virtually unchanged, if you do not take into account the mass, which increased due to the use of a wooden stock instead of a plastic one:

Thus, the Manul will primarily appeal to those who are accustomed to hunting with “wooden” carbines, but at the same time want their rifle to be different from other models. Also, the weapon will appeal to those who love various small amenities in the form of notches on the wood and ergonomic handles. In other cases, it is much preferable to purchase the classic version of the MP-161K, since it is much lighter and will cost almost 6 thousand less.

Innovative solutions

Izhevsk gunsmiths made the following changes to their new product:

• a rubber butt plate was installed on the butt;
• the usual sighting bar became a ventilation one;
• the new model has an ejector;
• the shape of the forend and stock was changed;
• adjustments were made at the junction of the box and the stock;
• the barrel is made of high quality steel;
• increased corrosion resistance of gun channels and chambers is ensured by reliable chrome plating;
• the locking unit has become simpler and more reliable;
• shockless trigger release is ensured.

The most innovative change, however, is the fuse. The new IZH-27M shotgun received an automatic safety lock. For the reliability of the gun, an interceptor (trigger interceptor) was added. Accuracy of fire is ensured by the muzzle constriction and, if necessary, replaceable choke tubes. The fore-end and butt are made of walnut and beech, which gives the hunting sport rifle a special aesthetic appeal.

Hunting carbine Baikal-162 (Baikal-162)

Another new product is the Baikal-162 Izyubr carbine. It was presented at the Army-2017 exhibition. According to experts, the market entry of the specified model may take place in mid-2022. The price has not yet been specified.

This carbine is the result of the improvement of outstanding Soviet carbines created for the country's leadership in the 1970s. It is known that Baikal-162 was created for the .308 Win cartridge and is self-loading. The operating principle of the automation is gas.

The magazine holds four rounds. Weight without cartridges and attachments – 3 kg. 650 gr. The trunk length is small, 55 cm.

The receiver is made of steel. The metal has a special quality. The chamber and barrel are chrome-plated, which will provide the hunting rifle with a long service life without damage from rust. However, all external parts have a special coating.

The four-round magazines are made of steel and are also reliable.

The carbine stock will be made of walnut. The butt plate is made in such a way as to reduce recoil to the maximum, and the weapon itself does not catch on the elements of the hunter’s clothing - even when you need to quickly raise the carbine. And finally, experts noted the excellent capabilities of half disassembling the carbine. It requires the bare minimum of simple steps.

Piece guns

Today, the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant offers all lovers of hunting weapons custom production aimed at the discerning buyer. The most popular model is IZH-27M 12 gauge. Improved engraving is done in silver. The build quality of the offered models is very high; the gun is adjusted to the individual wishes of the customer.

Other features of the exclusive production of weapons at IzhMEH include:

• barrel bluing;
• improved balance;
• the barrel locking mechanism has a carbide insert;
• the fuse moves smoothly;
• Individual adjustment of the stock and fore-end.

Naturally, the cost of such an individual gun is several times higher than serial models. See the photo of the piece-assembled IZH-27M below.
