The Baikal MP-153 is a 12 gauge gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by Kalashnikov Concern (originally by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant) in Russia. [1]

Contents

The shotgun is available with 12/76mm or 12/89mm chambers and either 610, 650, 710 or 750 mm barrels.

The MP-153 is manufactured with fixed choke available as Cylinder, Modified or Full variants, or with screw in chokes with Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full and Extra Full variants available. Normally there are 3 or 4 chokes included with multi choke variants of the shotgun and a spanner that duplicates as a choke extractor and gas screw adjustor. Screw in chokes come as lead or steel proofed versions.

History

Development began in 1997 of a 12/70mm unit based on the IZh-81M. With increasing market demand for 12/89mm guns, further development of a gun capable of firing light skeet and trap load as well as heavier magnum game loads commenced in February 1999 [2]

In November 2010, 500,000 shotguns were produced, and their production continued. [3]

The developers retained characteristics from the IZh-81:-
