DayZ in Real Life! (v1.19) - The BK-18 - Remington Baikal IZH18MN - 7.62x39mm

DayZ Standalone in Real Life!
The "BK-18"
Link to 700 Yard Shooting with an optic mounted:
• Remington Baikal IZH18...
Remington Baikal IZH18MN
Break action single shot hunting rifle
BK's is chambered in the desirable Russian 7.62x39mm caliber
(just like in-game!!)
Not exactly rare in the USA, but somewhat difficult to come by, especially in 7.62x39mm. It took BK about 6 months of waiting/searching to find this rifle in the proper DayZ caliber. BK also spent about 4x what they are actually worth to secure this gem. At the time of recording this video, you can expect to pay around $500-$600 USD for one of these, if you can find one. If you want the unicorn 7.62x39 version expect to pay almost double that. Believe the original cost for one of these in the mid 2000's would have been in the sub $200 range LOL sigh.
Differences in real life vs DayZ Standalone:
1. Gorgeous spiral pattern barrel.
2. Multiple Finishes/Stocks/Grades available.
3. Available in MANY calibers, including some pistol calibers, depending on market.
4. No Ejector in real life (work on your pull-out game)
5. Provisions for mounting an optic.
6. It's a Take-Down rifle, NICE! (found this out after buying it)
7. Common receiver, can accept multiple barrels for caliber changes.
Thanks for watching! Questions? Comments? You know where to ask!

My friend bought one of these new for his son back in the day. Came with a .243 barrel and a .410 shotgun barrel. Kid killed a deer with it. Pretty cool

[@skycop3855]

I found one 8 years ago in 308 and paid $300. Best ever rifle. Thanks for review.

[@michaelcraft-sd4fd]

I’ve been looking for one in 7.62x54r forever! I have the 12ga model.

[@morrisegna9585]

I had a baikal 223 for a year, the trigger pull was 5 lbs and you can't lighten them. So I went with the H&R Ultra with the light trigger.

[@Cuccos19]

Older shotgun version has extractor only, but for a while they are making it with a selective ejector, or rather can be called switch on, switch off ejector. Its under the receiver (like a little hook, spurr), forward ejector, backward is extractor. Quite popular rifle in Hungary, as a backup gun, or a gun for a rarely used but needed caliber (for example you have a .30-06 main gun like a CZ or a Mauser, and you need something for roe deer or fox, badger, jackal, etc, and you want a .222 or .223 Remington or a 7.62x39mm). The shotgun version is not as popular as it was under the "communist regime". Those days not everyone could own a rifle, and the IZH-18 shotgun with slugs could act as a "rifle", especially with some cheap scope. You still can find the shotgun, always can find some for sale, especially in 16 gauge (maybe the 12 or 20 gauge is rather a keeper gun).

Absolutely true mate 👍👍👍

[@joshhuberdeau709]

Cool gun

[@NCrdwlf]

I have a bid on one and plan on winning .. for the same reason as you. I’ll probably pay too much . Don’t care .

[@user-zk8tg8ko1u]

Here in Europe (Iam from Czech republic) you can find them very commonly. Calibers are .222; .223; 7,62x39; .308 win; 7,62x54R (never buy one in this caliber... :D ). I never see diferent caliber here, but my friend have one rechambered in 22-250 (from .222 barrel).
The price here is around 200 USD (5 000 CZK).
Its realy a rifle of a poor man. You have to find one wich is accurate (because big number of them is not...). If you can, you want rifle from 70s production. When its new production, it very often sucks.

[@jozefhorvat3625]

👌👌👌👍👍👍

[@NCrdwlf]

Lol I’d love to have one in 7.62x54r . Brutal !

[@user-zk8tg8ko1u]

@@NCrdwlf Well it is. But seriously. Its too much for weapon like that. It kicks so much. I had one and I had to sell it :D
Maybe if you are reloading, you can make suitable load for that, but if you want to shoot stuff from store, that is basically everytime made for barrell lenght like mosin nagant or SVD, you will be unpleasantly surprised...
Even Sellier & Bellot is making 7,62x54R for 730mm barrell lenght.
I will try to find one video of some eastern guy shooting it :D all you see is just fireball :D
EDIT:
Here is the video. He starts shoot in 2:00.
