Izhmekh Single Barreled Shotgun Series
Izhmekh IZh-18 is a Soviet/Russian single barrelled hammerless shotgun. It appeared in 1964 and is still currently produced under a new brand Baikal MP-18M. One of the most modern versions of IZh-18 is a top-break single shot rifle MP-18MN that is produced in numerous calibers from .223 to 9.3x74R.
During its long life IZh-18 was very popular among hunters for its low price and decent quality. Its wide availability leads to using of IZh-18 in an unusual role: in numerous Soviet historical movies of 1960s-1980s visually modified shotguns stand for flintlock and percussion lock muskets and even pistols (in the latter case with sawed-off barrels and stocks). A typical feature of all models of IZh-18 is a spur on the trigger guard that allows to identify this gun even in musket disguise.
