Izhmekh IZh-K - 16 Gauge

Izhmekh IZh-K is a direct predecessor of the IZh-17, produced from 1955 to 1964. It can be distinguished by a groove on the foregrip. The Izh-K is representative of the family of single-barrel shotguns, which also includes the earlier ZK (1949 - 1955), and Izh-KM (1956 - 1958).

Since all these shotguns are extremely similar and it is impossible to distinguish them (except for markings), they will all be assigned to this category.

The Izhmekh IZh-18 is a Soviet/Russian single-barreled hammerless shotgun. It appeared in 1964, replacing the IZh-KB (1960 - 1963) and is still currently produced under a new brand Baikal MP-18M. One of the most modern versions of the IZh-18 is a top-break single shot rifle, the MP-18MN that is produced in numerous calibers from .223 to 9.3x74R.

During its long life, the IZh-18 was very popular among hunters for its low price and decent quality. Its wide availability lead to the use of IZh-18s in an unusual role: in numerous Soviet historical movies of the 1960s to the 1990s, visually modified shotguns stand-in 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.
