Grizzly Dave Posted March 5, 2011 Author Share Posted March 5, 2011 Just got my new Baikal MP 220 home from my FFLs. I like it! You guys were right though it does need some smoothing, it is WAY stiffer than my TTN was out of the box. I now see what you meant by it doesn't open all the way without a little prodding, once open all the way it does stay open all the way though. It has a thin layer of oil on it, but not hear the huge amount of cosmolene or whatever that my TTN had. This afternoon I'm going to clean it up good, work the action a few hundred times and maybe take the stock off and see about disabling that pesky auto safety. Gotta love getting a new toy. For Colorado folks, backgrounds were running a bit more than an hour this morning. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz got a new gun! It's purty. And I find working the action on a new gun NO CHORE AT ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well, I've spent the afternoon with her, sadly no live rounds since the local constabulary would frown on that, and now it's time for her to go to bed down in the safe. I'm a bit worried that my mule ear double will be mean to her, or worse... maybe I'll put her on the other side of the center divider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 I had a lot of competition for last place at CAC! I did pretty well at that match in spite of a P, a couple of misses and my shotgun falling apart causing 4 more. I'm hoping to avoid those this year.

Grizzly Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 naw, that was my fault, ya gotta check the screws in the plate on the fore arm that secures the locking lever. If they get loose, then bad things can happen. I love my hammer gun, just wanted a hammerless for when I'm feeling gamey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzly Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 I am pleased with it, at the price point I wasn't sure what to expect. The only issues I have with it are the auto safety, and the fact that it doesn't fall all the way open and stay there, it opens part way, you have to push it the rest of the way and then it closes part way if you're not careful. The other is the tiny silver bead for a front sight. But from what I've read, all those are fairly easily fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is the tiny silver bead for a front sight. But from what I've read, all those are fairly easily fixed. The falling part way open is due to the fact that it has to engage the internal hammers inside. A good smith could take care of that for ya. Dad has an old stevens 311 that's like that. I been wanting for years to have it set up to fall open, but he don't want to have any work done to it. just sits in his closet. ~EE Taft~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Well? How is she? Still talkin' to you? Was she upset at being locked away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 no clue, I haven't ventured down to the basement to visit her today. Next house will have a place on the main floor for the safe, I hate having to lug up and down the stairs. Next match is two weeks from yesterday, hopefully by then I'll get some cocking levers from Papa and get them put in, and disable the auto safety. If not, I'll shoot it anyway.

Grizzly Dave Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 I"m here, waiting for miz Grizz to get up, she was up way late working. The work from home at your own pace is great, but if you screw around all weekend you have to knuckle down and stay up late to knock stuff out before Monday morning... I think I'll go wake her up, need to go into town to pick up the taxes and might as well take her to lunch while we're there. Actually I haven't been around because I have the day off, if I was in the office I'd have been around all morning LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
