It's a Russian built IZH27 Baikal, 20 guage O/U. After having inspected the gun thoroughly at the shop, I discovered this thing comes through with chrome lined chambers and (hammer forged) chrome lined barrels, mechanical triggers, trigger activated barrel selector switch, real hand checkering, Browning style box-lock action, uses standard Tru-Choke tubes and fairly nice oil rubbed walnut furniture. Fit and finish, what do you expect, it's Russian!! This answers the question; can you buy a new O/U for less than $1000 bucks! Yes, you can get one at half that price. I bought this one for $300 bucks!!

also added a pair of Colonial IC extended choke tubes...
