I have a soft spot for IZH-Baikal Airguns.
I am completely obsessed over the Baikal MP-656/Tokarev TT-33, but here in Canada, if you come across one for sale, it will cost $900-$1000 CDN!!!!
The Baikal MP-654 is the famous Co2 Makarov pistol, and it is widely available in Canada, and will cost around $450-500 CDN to buy one new from a retail surplus store.
I am glad that Baikal also makes other unique AIRGUNS, like the MP-651K, which comes in three variations that are pictured below:
The MP-651K has a unique magazine system, which combines a built in spring fed roundball magazine above and parallel to the barrel, and a pair of 8 round rotary magazines, one for roundball ammo, and one for pellet ammo.
The next three photos are of my own IZH-BAIKAL MP-651k which I purchased directly from Baikal-Canada in Toronto, Ontario about 5 years ago.
I may have received one of the last MP-651k's they had in stock, because the next time I checked out the Baikal-Canada online store, they were sold out...
My other Russian made Co2 pistol is a ANICS skif-A3000.
I purchased it from Mr.Marvin at the Kitchener Gun Show 3 or 4 years ago.
These are quite rare, and built almost as tough as a real steel pistol.
I think that it looks to be based on the Walther P-22 semi-automatic .22LR pistol.
Lead pellets need to be resized slightly to fit in the magazine, but steel BB's fit nicely, so I generally only shoot Hornady Black Diamond steel BB's with my Anics Skif-A-3000 because they are the easiest ammo to reload into the 28-round belt fed magazine, plus there are never issues like failures to load, like with some lead pellets, or gamo lead roundball.
