Baikal MP 18 Buffalo-ized 

I bought the 45 Colt adapter for my single barrel 12 gauge. Works great. Much more accurate than I expected.

Years ago a friend of mine purchased a used Sears brand, single barrel/single shot 12guage at a pawn store in our home town for about $35.00 if memory serves (it's been a while so I'm not 100% certain as it may have been $10.00 higher or lower than I recall). Dave carried that shotgun in his truck for a while on his farm loaded with 00 buck or "punkin' ball" slugs before deciding it needed a "little work". In relatively short order he produced the shotgun that would, in it's final form, serve him well while backpacking, canoeing, and even to take several nice deer and feral hogs/wild boar and at least four tom turkeys that I know of. Once Dave finished personalizing that old shotgun it closely resembled the MP-18 featured in this video with the major differences being that he used camo tape on the stock and forearm, attached a sling and swivels to the wooden stock and forearm and scrounged up some rifle (Winchester 94 type I think) sights for the barrel, and painted the barrel a sort of OD green using a spray can he purchased at a yard sale. Dave passed away a few years ago but his oldest son still has it and uses it just as his Dad did in it's "final form" to this day and with the same kind of confidence and success.

Awesome video and awesome shotgun!

All the things we needed to know in under 10 minutes. Thank you. I enjoyed your project gun.

Excellent vid. You just said what was needed and no repetition or waffle. Thanks

i'll say this........that was the best review i've ever listened to, well done. You sir have made my day brighter.

Beautiful work! A buddy of mine just bought one of those for $100 and I had never heard of them before. Is that button on the bottom so the shells don't eject out when you break it? Oh, thanks for the shout out. You didn't have to do that!

Great custom job Buffalo, this video reminds me of custom job I did years ago to a break action single shot J.C. Higgins 16 ga. . Like you, I cut the barrel down, mine from 30 inches to 20 inches, I then had a machinist friend tap the muzzle to accept the Rem. Choke System. I then silver soldered on a front ramp sight, and I was able to tap the receiver and mounted a Willams Foolproof receiver sight. Someday I plan to silver solder a rail on the receiver, so I'll have enough meat to drill and tap for a scope. Like you mentioned, it did nothing to add to the value, but it makes a quick loading fast swinging gun to keep in the camper for self-protection.... Thanks for the great videos, you are the real deal!

And the adapters are some of the best inventions ever made! I love single shots!

You are right about the versatility of a 12 gauge shotgun! Man I really like what you did here...That thing is awesome!

once again you've made a great video on something that I haven't thought about keep up the great work

Good looking camp gun, very practical for it's intended use! I like it a lot!

Great idea to have a .22 adapter in the stock! I have the same Baikal shotgun. I discovered that I can carry 3 1 3/4 inch Aguila mini slugs in the same spot.

The rifled inserts are awesome for these single shot 12 gauge shotguns

As usual, nice job with the Baikal videos - looks like you have a very useful gun & setup there. As the former owner of two Baikal MP-18s, I didn't know that you could de-cock the actions, that the barrels are chrome-lined, or that the pistol grip had a storage compartment - great job highlighting that. The Baikals seem to be solid guns (typical, since they ARE Russian), but as a left-handed long gun shooter, I prefer the tang safety or exposed hammer. That extractor/ejection switch is really neat though; it didn't seem to work on my .410, but did on my 20 gauge. I also found the trigger reach quite long for my short arms - that said, thanks to your videos, I'd certainly look closely at another in 12 gauge if I found one for a good price. Kind Regards.

the adapter was a great idea! genius!

Beautiful!

Nice job on paint !! It looks great !!

Cool man ... I would love to have one of these .. beautiful 😍

Mighty fine job you've done on that shotgun!

Very nice video, original and no nonsense. Pls keep up making such videos and all the best

You can tell homeboy is very proud of his work. It looks great. You can shoot dove all the way to putting down a grizzly.

AWSOME video brother. Looking forward to more. Love the channel dude.

Turned out real nice

Nice job buffalo!

Great video you share a lot of very good stuff

What a sweet shotgun.

Single shot shotguns are so much fun! Great video brother 👍🏻

SHOTGUNS ARE THE BEST!

Love your videos keep them coming

Good job!thanks!

My late father had one on the farm in South Africa. We all used it for shooting bush pigs to snakes . Loved that shotgun

Wonderful... I own same gun in 12 ga 28" barrel and love it... One thing to point out, you could break the gun and attach the fore and to the barrel for packing.. This way you will have only two pieces ( barrel+fore end and butt) to handle....

Awesome job on that gun. Looks great.

Awesome! Have to look for that 22LR adaptor! Gun looks great with that paint job!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

Very cool gun, nice video. You deserve a much larger audience

So versatile, 12 gauge shottys are great

custom guns can sometime turn a profit if done right like yours. I've found that a few times. nicely done !

Hey buffalo luv your channel very informative thank you

According to Carnikon you should have Skittles in that storage compartment! Great video as always.

I dig it, I've been wanting to do something cool with a single barrel

Wonderfull great Tool .

Used to have one of these that Papa gave Daddy. Wood stock model. It was an older model. Very stiff action, and kicked like a mule with any high-brass load. Wish I still had it. Edit: The one we had didn't have an ejector, just an extractor.

I think it looks great bro!

That shot gun looks nice!!!! What you did is prefect for a back pack or truck gun.

I found this video to be quite useful... I am going to get one of those adapters... that is awesome... Thanks!

Great stuff ! I did the same thing with a 16 gauge , its my favorite " fun gun "

Baikal are solid guns... Here in Greece we use them for 40 years now,they are cheap , light, reliable russian shotguns

Great job!!!

V well Customized

Awesome little gun, good job!

Interesting. Cool finish.. Gotta love Rustoleum!

Well done as I think matching up with those short lane gun adaptors really completes it...Good info and vid....Good stuff...

The color makes it look better you did.I like the rifled 22 adapter too.

Nice job. That looks really good.

Like you state on the video, you have customised it to your own liking and especially for back packing. However the gun is very easily disassembled to two main parts, the barrel and the stock if necessary cutting the space needed almost in half. Obviously the shortening saves the trouble of reassembling.

Nice little backpacking gun there. I picked up one of these a couple years ago at a pawn shop pretty cheap, it's one of the ones imported by Remington and sold as the Spartan 100 but it's the same gun. I already shortened an NEF for a backpacker so I'll just leave the Spartan as it is. I have a circuit I like to make of all the places that sell used guns and I've ended up with quite a few single shots since they're so dang cheap.

Great squirrel getter 👍🐿👍

Great video. It's about time for a Ruger LCP II video.

Now that is a versatile shotgun set up. Nice video. Thank you.

It turned our very nice Buffalo! You certainly ended up with one very versatile shotgun.

Very good 👍🏼

another brilliant video, nice one!

Awsome gun :)

hello nice shotgun I like and your kanl I also think cool lg from austria

Interesting video thanks

Hey Buffalo, really enjoyed the video! Thanks

short tops, so beautiful.

I ran into the same problem with the release latch on the trigger guard but I cut a piece of rubber hose and put it on and problem solved. No more cut fingers from recoil

Great video

Nicely done

Looks like you did a beautiful job>>I would like to see a video on how you did it>>

Hey Buffalo......I didn't see your video...until after I did EXACTLY the same thing to mine....including the larger front bead from Midway USA. However, I left mine in the standard black. I saw your video after I modified mine,,, sat back and laughed my ass off !

Awesome video as always KY brother! I'm pretty sure Bakail is the same maker of my Makarov pistol....pretty interesting. Btw....your video quality and expecially your audio is AMAZING!

Just subbed!love the content and the way it's laid ,out simple and all the necessary info in front of everything else!

Good video. I have a 38/357 adapter and that is also fun to shoot.

You can also use that shotgun as a secondary. It's very lightweight and compact. One is none, two is one.

HI Buffalo. I love Baikal Shotguns. I think I left a previous post about an over and under 12 Bore I used to shoot. They are wonderful guns and I would recommend them to anyone who wanted a good all round shotgun. That one you have looks Cool...

Unfortunately I’ll never get the chance in the UK, but i would love to get the chance of using the Baikal double rifle.

Thanks for the great video, I'm a new subscriber. Did you drill and tap to get that bead on the barrel? Thanks

Really nice.

I have an idea a 12g to .22 adapter like a longer short lane but with a built in suppressor that fits inside the barrel probably would be too effective but sounds fun

Nice job! 👍

Nice job , wish those adapters would a an inch or two longer for accuracy . Got one for my shotgun , but wish it was a bit longer .

looks pretty sweet

I'll tell you something, I don't know if you're aware...with the key to open the scale, you can assemble and disassemble the hammer, with a cartridge in the chamber. You dismount by pressing this lever and then you press the trigger, you release without stopping pulling the trigger, (the key tells you). To mount the hammer you press the lever again. greetings from 💪🏾🇦🇷

nice...good Truck gun

Great set up Buffalo.Never seen one of those 22 adapters before.Nice customizing.

Good vid good job

I been looking for I one of those 12 ga adapter in 357 mag but our gun shop in Kentucky said they could order me one for 200$ but I think there just taken advantage of gun owners in my small town bedside they are the only gun shop in my town

Nice build sir.... I was honestly thinking a 22lr adaptor would be a nice addition and sure enough you had one in stock.. Literally 👍🏼😂🇨🇦❤️🇺🇸. Wondering how that beauty has held up??

Sweet set up buddy. I like these I have a single 762x39 a double coach gun and a 3and a half inch chambered auto made by them. All their guns are built hella stout. Wish they still came in country would like to have one of the over and under rifle shotgun combos they made. They even made double rifles wich is very hard to get right.

love the music you played during the close ups on the gun. I'm in the process of modifying my single shot Hatfield. only cost me 99 dollars for me to buy it at Walmart and want to turn it in a bad ass survival gun

Something about that 22 adapter to think about. The adapter is only a few inches long compared to the 18-20 inch long barrel that it resides in. That barrel with its much larger diameter compared to the 22 lr actually acts a silencer. I would be interested in a video on those adapters without shooting at steel. Hell I may just pick up a couple.

Cut shells and sawed-off shotties! Smells like freedom!

awsome bro

Looks nice my friend!
