Baikal MP-135

About the Baikal MP-135

The Baikal MP-135 is a Russian pump-action shotgun built by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant and marketed under the Kalashnikov Group. Chambered for 12/76 (3-inch) 12-gauge shells and compatible with lighter 12/70 loads, it feeds from an under-barrel tubular magazine via a dual-action-bar sliding forend. Developed as a lighter, modernized evolution of the MP-133, it handles everything from reduced-power sport and less-lethal rubber cartridges to full-power magnum loads. A tactical variant adds AK-12-style furniture, an adjustable buttstock, ergonomic pistol grip and a full-length 1913 Picatinny top rail for optics and accessories.

The MP-135 carries forward Izhevsk's reputation for rugged, no-frills pump guns: marketed as equally at home firing 'light' sporting and rubber-buckshot rounds or full-power magnums, its tactical trim borrows the pistol grip and adjustable stock of the AK-12 rifle.
