Baikal izh-46 problem

[kneal]

In the circumstances I've decided to send it back for rectification. I really don't feel competent in dismantling it myself unless it had turned out to be a straightforward fix.

Cheers for all the advice - I'd still be interested in any other thoughts or comments on the problem.

Let us know the results - I am interested in getting a target pistol and the IZH was on my possible list.

No problem, once I get it back I'll let you know.

Still no news on this, but as soon as I hear anything I'll get it posted.

Bad news, I'm afraid. York Guns(the Baikal agent) have had the weapon to pieces and replaced the seals - but once re-assembled it still leaked. They are now looking for a replacement to send to me. The IZH-46 has such a good reputation - I suppose there had to be one lemon out there somewhere.
In the meantime & to keep in practice, I've bought a second-hand Webley Alecto. Very accurate, and I've found it to be a much friendlier pistol, nowhere near as demanding as the IZH-46.

Hmm, thats interesting...I was considering buying myself an IZH 46M.
Think I'll wait awhile.
Could you update us when you get a replacement.
Cheers.
