Back in the USSR! Fixing up an old .177 Baikal IZH-38

[@marshallm8326]

В России сейчас много всякой пневматики, со всех стран мира, но Иж 38 заслуженно является любимцем. Каждый уважающий себя любитель пневматики обязательно имеет в своей коллекции эту винтовку. У меня несколько винтовок, но 38 самый любимый. Поздравляю с удачным приобретением.

I’m a couple of days away from receiving my seal kit for a Crosman 38C that I bought at a Antique Mall in Woodstock Ontario, I can’t wait. Gun is in incredible shape, it’s amazing how closely they resemble the real thing. I was offered triple what I paid for it before I even cashed out at the register.

Well, given how much grief my 38T's gave me, it helps if you haven't paid too much.

[@oxyfee6486]

@@canuckair It was very reasonable, the guy wanted his childhood back and offered me much more, I took his number just in case. I’ve been watching your videos, I hope to learn enough to replace the seals, it looks fairly easy. I haven’t taken the side plate off yet, I’ll keep you posted on the progress.👍🇨🇦

Lucky score!! I know that mall well! I have a 38t and it's very fun

I had one when I was a kid, circa 1991. Lots of fun.

I am currently assembling my IZH 38 Baikal, in the version without rails for optics and with a plastic stock. My dog ​​likes it when I feed him Exact Express. The power is around 6.5-7 Jules. A very accurate, light and compact air gun, made of hard, high-quality steel, the kind used to produce small arms in the USSR. The equipment is almost indestructible. Greetings from Poland

At all the Hockey Games I have ever heard : it was always pronounce : KOO -- NOOKS 😂

Eh?

[@СергейСКАНКПАНК]

Вам повезло, отличный ствол, когда-то ИЖ "Байкал" был действительно ФИРМОЙ... Сейчас дошло до того, что даже у нас предпочитают взять китайский аналог "Air Venturi TR5" нежели отечественный оригинал "МР-61", в котором докатились до того, что спусковой крючок и ствольную коробку додумались делать из пластика... Сделать хуже китайцев в плане качества это ещё суметь надо 😎

Did the corrected placement of the spring guide improve velocity? I don't recall you making further comment on it while doing crono tests. Thanks.

Is the breech seal inside the cylinder assembly ? 28:19

[@canuckair]

Yes, it is. And it's more of a short, thick, rubber tube than the typical o-ring. Fortunately it was in good condition and didn't need replacing.
