Baikal IZH MP-61 Side Lever Spring Piston Air Rifle Review

3 Comments

Type: Pellet air rifle.
Manufacturer: Baikal.
Model: IZH MP-61.
Materials: Metal & plastic.
Weight: 4.3 pounds.
Barrel: 18.5 inches, metal-rifled.
Propulsion: Spring piston.
Action: Repeater.
Ammunition Type: .177 caliber pellets.
Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.
FPS: 490.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the IZH MP-61 is a nice light 1.4 pounds and the release stage is also adjustable, you actually need to be careful of accidental shots as the trigger is light enough to go off before you are ready to shoot.
Accuracy: Very good, I was not so sure when first using the IZH-61 with my initial scope and pellet setup but my second open sight test with different pellets yielded a very tight 1 inch group from 30 feet out in a standing unrested position.

Build Quality: This is a no-nonsense gun made Russian style, it is built to be cost effective so there are parts that could be made with metal that are plastic but there isn't anything on this gun that feels cheap or poorly built. Baikal also doesn't cheap out on the plastic as not all plastic is the same. I actually dropped the IZH MP-61 right on the front hooded sight without any adverse effects, cheap plastic would have cracked and broken.
Realism: Since the Baikal IZH-61 is not a replica gun, I can not really compare it to any existing one rifle out there, but it does look very tactical in design, much more so then your standard spring piston air rifle.
Purchased this rifle from: The Replica Airguns Store.

Pros:

  • Inexpensive spring piston rifle.
  • Very unique looking air rifle.
  • Side pull lever design.
  • 5 round magazine/clip.
  • Right on the money with FPS.
  • Adjustable Stock.
  • Adjustable Trigger.
  • 11mm dovetail rail mount for scopes.
  • Very light weigh and easy to cock.
  • Made in Russia

Cons:

  • Plastic stock seems to mark up easy - kind of part of the utilitarian look.
  • Mechanics takes a bit of getting use to.
  • Scope rail mount is a bit short.

Comments:
The Baikal IZH MP-61 is a really nice low cost yet full featured air riffle! You really get a lot of rifle for your money: You get an efficient side lever design with a 5 shot magazines for quick repeat shots, a very light weight and adjustable trigger, an adjustable stock, a rail mount for a scope and one of the more tactical looking air rifles available on the market. The Baikal MP-61 also takes the FPS right up to the limit without going over so no license or PAL is required to own this one in Canada. This air rifle is designed for target shooting but could also be used for small pest control if your marksmanship is good enough to hit the vital kill zones of your prey.

Zoraki M906 Silver Slide 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun

2 Comments

I already had an all Black Zoraki M906, but I didn't have the Sliver slide version and that was just no good because the two-tone finish just looks great on this blank shooter. It's pretty much the same gun as my all black Zoraki M906 but with a Shiny Chrome Slide and Barrel. I also noticed that the hammer is just a tad bit different but both work just as well!

Here are some more photos for your viewing and drooling pleasure...

Some New Zoraki 914 Finishes to Choose From

14 Comments

I wanted to let you know we have a couple new Zoraki 914 color finishes to choose from, Shiny Chrome and Titanium. We have limited quantities so get them while we still have them. And that goes for all of our Zoraki line as I can not ensure we will be carrying it for much longer - it has nothing to do with quality as the Zoraki line of blank guns is one of the best! SORRY - ALL GONE!

Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak .22 Caliber Break Barrel Rifle

2 Comments

I purchased a bunch of "near new" air guns from a friend of mine last week who was't using them anymore and thought I could put them to better use. I was happy to oblige!

I already have the Crosman Quest 800 Break Barrel .22 caliber rifle for my pest control but you can always use one with more power! The break barrel Benjamin Sheridan Super Streak in .22 caliber is rated at up to 1000 fps and it is a real beast of an air gun to say the least. It came with a nice 4-16-40mm scope and I added an NCStar bi-pod to it to help distribute some of the weight.

I sighted it in at about 50 feet and was able to get about a nice 1 inch grouping with it from a rested position. I am looking forward to using this gun when my fruit trees start producing.

Another very popular EKOL Blank gun just made it into the Replica Airgun Store, and this one has selectable Full Auto! The EKOL Jackal Dual looks like the EKOL Firat and both of them look like the popular Beretta 92FS semi auto pistol.

The EKOL Dicle Now Available in the Replica Airguns Store

No Comments

Many of you have asked if we would be making the EKOL Dicle available for purchase in the Replica Airguns Store and now I am happy to say we do have it in both Gloss Black and Satin finish.

The EKOL Dicle is a beefy 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter with a heavy slide that closely resembles the Beretta Cougar semi auto pistol.

EKOL Firat and Jackal 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun Comparison

No Comments

When I got my EKOl Firat a while back with a bunch of other fine EKOL products, I decided to not do a full review on it as it is essentially the same gun as my EKOL Jackal. Well, the people have spoken and I have given into the pressure and made a short comparison video on the differences between the EKOL Jackal and the EKOL Firat.

The Blank EKOL guns in this video are represented in both the Magnum (EKOL Jackal) and Compact (EKOL Firat) sizes which will also help you get an idea of the size difference when ordering as both guns can be purchased in Magnum and Compact versions.

Here are the main differences:

  • The EKOL Jackal can shoot in both semi auto and full auto while the EKOL Firat is semi auto only.

  • The EKOL Jackal's rear safety is non-functioning for all intents and purposes as the semi-full auto selector switch is also used as a safety switch. The EKOL Firat uses the rear safety as its safety and it is fully functional.

  • The EKOL Firat can be shot in single action or double action mode while the EKOL Jackal is a single action only gun meaning you have to either cock the hammer or rack the slide to shoot the first round in this gun. (Once the first shot is fired the blowback of the slide will automatically re-cock the action for you)

  • The EKOL Firat is about $60 less expensive as it does not have the full auto feature.

Enjoy my Vimeo video of the EKOL Jackal and Firat comparison:

EKOL Aras 9mm P.A.K. Blank Gun Shooting Review

No Comments

Here is a fairly short YouTube video of my EKOl Aras 9mm P.A.K. Blank gun (Browning Hi-Power Replica) shooting 5 blank rounds in semi auto. I use my HD camera and high speed camera to capture the event in regular speed and slow motion. The EKOL Aras fired all 5 rounds without any failures to chamber, fire or eject.

We just got in some Wood Grips for your Zoraki 914. Well technically they are plastic but they look like wood! We have limited supplies of these real imitation wood grain grips and once they are gone they may be gone for ever - or at least till we get some more. That is if we can get some more, it's really hard to say?

Zoraki 914 Full Auto Product Review by NicFitNation

9 Comments

I don't post a lot of other people's video here on the site but from time to time when I see a really good one, I'll feature it. This video is from a YouTuber named NicFitNation. What I like about this video most of all is the way VST sums up the reasons for getting a blank gun to begin with. I know most of you already understand the reasoning behind owning a blank gun, but for some reason I seem to answer this question a lot on my YouTube channel.

Make sure to watch the video right to the end as there is a nice demo of the Zoraki 914 shooting in full auto!

EKOL Major 9mm P.A.K. 007 PPK Blank Gun Review

10 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Pistol.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Major.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: 1.25 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 9mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 7+1 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The EKOL Major is single action only, the trigger pull is relatively light as would be expected.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Major is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the satin finish on the Major looks really good giving the gun a nice two-tone look. I can't say I like the grips all that much as they are a bit shinny, but they do the job and don't to be brittle or anything. The gun seems solid and the fit and finish are also respectable.

Realism: The EKOL Major is a copy of the Walther PPK pistol most notoriously used by Agent 007 in many of the early James Bond movies. It is a fairly accurate PPK copy other than the magazine release which on the EKOL Major is located on the bottom of the handle just behind the magazine, whereas on the real Walther PPK it is located on the left side of the frame just behind the trigger.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • In Canada you can only get this gun in a blank version unless you have a prohibited gun license.

  • If you're a James Bond fan, would make a great addition to your 007 collection.

  • Performed well - no loading, ejecting or misfires.

  • Even though it's small it still can take 7+1 rounds of 9mm P.A.K. ammo.

  • One of the lower priced blank guns.

  • Nice Satin two-tone finish.

Cons:

  • Magazine ejector is on the bottom and not the side like a real PPK, but it's still effective.

  • No slide release but this is true to the original design.

  • I wouldn't of minded the grips to be more of a matte finished, not a big fan of shinny grips

Comments:

The EKOL Major is a nice overall 9mm P.A.K. blank shooter, it has a very simple design and the classic semi auto compact pistol look. It is one of the easier guns to filed strip making it easy to clean if you plan on using it regularly. If your a James Bond fan and want the Agent 007 sidearm without the hassle of actually purchasing a real Walther PPK then the EKOL Major might just be right for you.

EKOL ARDA 8MM P.A.K. BLANK POCKET REVOLVER REVIEW

3 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Pocket Revolver.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Arda.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .55 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 5 rounds.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: As the Arda is single action only, the trigger pull requires pre-cocking of the hammer before each shot, just like the old west six shooters.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Arda pocket revolver is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the gloss black finish on the Arda looks really good and seems to have filled in most of the imperfections. You will get some powder burns in areas that the gasses escape such as between the cylinder and the beginning of the barrel.

Realism: The EKOL Arda is fairly unique, I don't know of an actual gun that it resembles? It's kind of a cross between a Derringer and a tinny snub nosed revolver.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

  • Would make a good training gun animals (retrievers - guard dogs - police dogs) or a compact starter pistol.

  • Revolvers are always dependable, no loading or ejecting problems like you can have with some semi-autos. 

  • Extremely compact blank shooter.

  • Nice gloss black finish.

Cons:

  • 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

  • Only holds 5 rounds

  • Single action only with pre-cocking required.

  • The powder from shooting will wear the finish a bit between the barrel and the cylinder.

Comments:

The EKOL Arda blank pocket revolver is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. The Arda is a very interesting looking blank pistol and it may not appeal to everyone? I found it so unique looking that I just had to have it as it's just nothing like any other blank gun I own. If you want an ultra compact pistol with revolver reliability then pick yourself up an EKOL Arda and get a small gun with a big bang!

EKOL ARAS VOLGA, DICLE & JACKAL COMING TO THE REPLICA AIRGUNS STORE

No Comments

Related Posts:

I wanted to bring a few more EKOL guns to the Replica Airguns Store. I have done reviews on guns like the Jackal Dual, the Volga and the Dicle but to date I have not had them available for purchase. I'm happy to say I will have them starting April 1st along with my latest blank shooter from EKOL, the EKOL Aras in both the Magnum and Compact versions.

Since I didn't have the EKOL Aras, I wanted to have one in my hands before offering it on the Replica Airguns Store. I have to say it is very nice. I ordered mine in the Compact Gloss Black version and it looks even nicer then I was expecting. I was actually expecting the non-wrap-around grips as most of the pictures online show the gun that way. Another nice touch was the chrome barrel and ejection port opening. Needless to say I am very happy with my EKOL Aras and will be doing a shooting and table top review as always for it.

EKOL TUNA 8MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN REVIEW

12 Comments

Related Posts:

Type: Blank Gun.

Manufacturer:EKOL - VOLTRAN.

Model: Tuna.

Materials: Mostly Metal.

Weight: .9 pounds.

Barrel: Semi plugged - front firing.

Propulsion: Gun powder.

Action: Semi auto single action.

Ammunition Type: 8mm P.A.K. blanks.

Ammunition Capacity: 6 round magazine.

FPS: N/A.

Trigger Pull: The trigger pull of the Tuna is light to medium and as with most of the EKOL guns seems to get lighter as you break the gun in.

Accuracy: N/A.

Build Quality: The build quality is similar to that of my Zoraki blank guns. The EKOL Tuna is well built and uses good quality materials, this gun is almost all metal. The finish quality is typical of other Turkish guns - good but not perfect, the gloss black finish on the Tuna looks really good and seems to have filled in most of the imperfections.

Realism: The Tuna is very similar in design and appearance to the Tanfoglio GT27, a small .25 Automatic sub compact pistols.

Purchased From: the Replica Airguns Store

Pros:

  • In Canada these guns are some of the few blank guns available for purchase that are not prohibited.

  • Very good construction, lots of metal parts and good weight to this blank gun even for its small size.

  • Inexpensive blank gun to purchase. 

  • Nice extremely compact blank shooter.

  • Worked very well, no jams, misfires or failure to eject or load in my testing.

  • Great training gun, as it operates exactly like a real gun without the deadly force.

Cons:

  • 8mm P.A.K. Blank ammo is expensive.

  • Mine was a bit hard to field strip at first - when removing the slide.

Comments:

The EKOL Tuna blank gun is a nice addition to our growing number of legal blank guns in Canada. EKOL offers a nice variety of models and finishes to choose from. The EKOL Tuna and Volga are very similar with the Tuna being just a bit smaller, chambered for 8mm and the Tuna has a slightly higher capacity magazine. Out of the two, I would recommend the Tuna unless you want to stick with 9mm P.A.K. ammo only.

EKOL - ARDA - TUNA - MAJOR - SPECIAL 99 - ASI UZI - 8-9MM P.A.K. BLANK GUN SHOOTING REVIEW

1 Comment

Related Posts:

I have been wanting to shoot my latest batch of EKOL Blank Guns, and today I was able to do just that! I left out my EKOL Firat because I have already done a shooting review of the EKOL Jackal and these guns are virtually identical with the exception of the Jack Dual being a semi and full auto blank shooter. Here are the guns I got to shoot today: (EKOL Arda, Tuna, Major, Special 99 and ASI UZI), all of which where purchased from the Replica Airguns Store.

In this video I use both my Canon T2i DSLR and my Casio EX-FC100 high speed camera so I was able to capture it all in both High Definition and in High Speed slow motion. First off I was very impressed with how all of these EKOL blank guns performed, this was my first time shooting them and they all shot every round without a misfire, jam or loading problem.
