Tenkte dette kunne være en samletråd der de heldige individene som har fått klørne i en stjernebørse i fra TSKIB SOO deler bilder og erfaringer med oss mindre heldige børsebærere?
Legger innledningsvis ved litt saksing som gir et innblikk i emnet, forklart av guruene på forumet til shotgunworld.com;
Altså heter/uttales navnet på disse børsene som MT, ikke MC eller MU som er blitt vanlig betegnelse oversatt fra russisk alfabet:)
"The correct pronounciation is MTs. As the Ts letter does not exist in the English language, the guns are commonly being called MC."
"Sometimes they are also referred to as MU models because the Ts letter in the Russian alphabet resembles a U."
"Firstly, "Baikal" is not a company. It's a brand name for all civil firearms made in the (former) USSR and sold abroad. These firearms, while manufactured by at least four diferent gunmakers, were exported by the same company, thus the common brand.
After the collapse of the USSR the brand was more or less usurped by the two Izhevsk companies - Izhmech and Izhmach, but is used for the export purposes mostly. Anyway, although both Izhmech (that males the current Spartan line), and TOZ (that made Toz-34, Mts21-12) are owned by the Russian government, that's about the only thing they have in common."
"Also note that these shotguns are not made by BAIKAL. In the past all Soviet exports of firearms were called BAIKAL or VOSTOK (irrespective of the factory they were produced in). Nowadays, a MTs (or MC) shotgun will not be labelled as BAIKAL."
"These are not your everyday Baikals. These are the shotguns used by Russian olympic shooters, rich gun collectors etc. These firearms are made on special order. These shotguns are the Russian equivalents of the Perazzis and Krieghoffs. Some shotgun connaisseurs call them "Holland & Holland quality at Beretta prices".
The MTs firearms are made by a company called TSKIB SOO (which roughly translates as Central Firearms Research Institute). A few years ago,TSKIB SOO has been acquired by KBP (which is a weapons making company 200 miles south of Moscow)."
"They have a very high value indeed. The MTs shotguns are the top firearms made by the Russians. The Russian olympic shooters use them. They are meant for high volume shooting and their internals, fit and finish are truely world class. "
"The Vostock brand is no longer used. Izhmash and Toz products were sometimes branded Vostok in the past. "
Diverse Nettsteder:
