I joined this forum while searching for info on the.38-303 and have stuck around learning all sorts. There seems to be a fair bit of interest in the Baikal IZH18MH (Remington/Spartan SPR18) so I thought I would share this write up on my project rifle. I started this write up on another forum when I first got this rifle back in the middle of 2009, I'll just copy and post the relevant posts to here. My aim is to make a handy little carbine, that is as at home in the bush hunting pigs and deer as it is at home in the mountains chasing thar and chamois and was inspired by the rifle featured in NZ Guns & Hunting in 2005. Getting Started To begin any project, you need a rifle. The donor rifle is a standard single shot break open Baikal IZH-18MH. They are available in NZ in.223Rem, 7.62x39,.308Win,.270Win and 30-06Spring. After reading about one in.223 in NZ Guns & Hunting (in a nutshell, they found them to be commendably accurate and good value for money) I went straight to Reloaders Supplies website, downloaded the order form, obtained the necessary police signatures and faxed the forms back to Reloaders. The rifle arrived a few days later for the princely sum of $375+20p&p. The Stock I ordered the plain birchwood stock for this seeing as I was thinking of modifying it and painting it flat black. Instead, I get told they only do walnut on the.270, so thats what I have. The Baikal stock and fore-end are made of a nice dense walnut and finished to a reasonable standard, the fit is tight, but the wood is a little proud on most joins and the checkering is ok with few over-runs. Now interestingly, the IZH-18MH rifle stock and the IZH-18M shotgun stock are one and the same. With 10mm of cast off, 36mm of drop to the comb, plus a drop to the heel of 60mm, it is clear this rifle was designed to use open sights, mounting a scope was an afterthought. With a shotgun these dimensions are are measured from from the sightline, whereas on a rifle they are measured from the bore line. Also a shotgun has approximately a 25mm longer length of pull, and there are also a couple of other key dimensions that differ between a shotgun and a rifle stock. All these dimensions combine to dramatically influence the way a firearm handles and points when you bring it to shoulder. Reducing the LOP is easy, changing the drop to the comb and heel is not. I don't want to glue a piece of wood onto the comb like you sometimes see on sporterized.303s, so instead I will be aiming to overcome this dimensional problem by mounting the scope as low as possible on the rifle. As is, it points beautifully and the open sights are a breeze to line up.
