The MP 155K is a smoothbore self-loading shotgun made in a style called “military”. It has a wide range of applications. It begins with sport shooting, continues, of course, by hunting, and ends with self-defense in general. Although the latter is quite difficult to believe. It is interesting that law enforcement officers also use this type of weapon.
Disassembly procedure
First you need to disconnect the MP 155K gun magazine from the main volume . To do this, press the button next to the bracket. You can inspect the content of the store. After that, we take the shutter to its extreme rear position to check if there is a cartridge in the chamber. The next step is to pull the trigger to perform a control descent. Under the barrel we can find the cover of the store, which we need to twist. We do this with light movements counterclockwise. After the cover is twisted, it will be possible to remove the sighting device in the form of a front sight from the barrel. Thus, we will have a “cleared path” to remove another component. It is, of course, about the fore-end of the MP 155K rifle with a box magazine. By pulling the shutter we can translate the spring to the extreme position. This will allow you to freely pull out the trunk.
After that, hold the spring so that the shutter frame can be pulled out. When this simple procedure is carried out, you should slowly release the spring to extend the shutter itself, as well as other elements, including the gas exhaust piston. The system of its operation can be installed in one of two modes: “Light” (Light) or “Heavy” (Heavy). The difference is that each of the systems is designed for cartridges of a certain caliber. The first is usually used for low power, the second - for more powerful. Well, the disassembly process is completed by pulling the springs and rings.
Design features
The tube of the store is hollow. However, there is no switching between the removable magazine and its underbarrel counterpart. You can try unscrewing the stock panel to see what we have there. The MP 155K self-loading shotgun allows you to do this with an ordinary Phillips screwdriver. We take it and unscrew the element in both the upper and lower parts. The next step, which in the end will allow us to clean the weapon, is to unscrew the lower part of the receiver from its upper component. The fixing screws will have to be pulled out on both sides. It is important not to lose them in any way. It is interesting that the upper part of the receiver (made, by the way, of metal materials) MP 155K, the reviews and characteristics of which you can find in this article, is attached to the butt. It also has mounts to the trigger mechanism of the smoothbore gun model we are observing today. The lower compartment for attaching to it has nothing to do, but connects to the upper part.
Continued parsing
The next part will be unscrewing the butt of the weapon. To do this, we will no longer need a Phillips screwdriver, but an ordinary flat one. After the procedure is completed, you can separate the parts of the model: on the one hand you will have a butt and a handle, on the other hand - the upper and lower parts of the receiver. By the way, the fixation of the elements in this smoothbore gun is made really well. All mechanisms are screwed to ensure the absence of backlash, and everything that is not screwed tightly clamped by neighboring elements. Thus, we should have absolutely no complaints about the build quality of the MP 155K, the engineers of the company tried this time.
The most important thing about weapons. Characteristics
What features can be highlighted in this model? The MP 155K smoothbore self-loading rifle was made and designed in the so-called military style. Appearance, by the way, is somewhat reminiscent of an American-made M-16 assault rifle. For firing, cartridges of two calibers are used. More precisely, it is 12/76 and 12/70. The type of store used is box-shaped. To simplify the design and achieve the maximum effect from it, the engineers decided to mount the trigger mechanism on a separate base.
Since we are talking about the design, we recall that a slide delay is built into it, which, after using the last cartridge, stops the movable elements of the MP 155K smoothbore gun in its extreme rear position. For convenient carrying weapons provides a removable handle that is attached to the top of the receiver. On it you can find a pillar, consisting of two positions. With the handle removed, it is possible to mount an optical or collimator sight on the Weaver bar. The barrel length in millimeters is from 510 to 610, the magazine holds five rounds, and the total length ranges from 1040 to 1140 millimeters. At the same time, the gun itself without a magazine weighs 3.5 kilograms.
Reviews
What are the positive and negative aspects of the people who have acquired this weapon model? As they say, among the pluses you can distinguish a convenient butt, which softens the return when shooting. This allows in some cases to conduct aimed fire even on several shots without significant loss in accuracy. The second advantage is a simple design that provides high reliability. Of the shortcomings in the model, only the inconvenient position of the fuse and rubbing the finger on the receiver. In general, it turns out that the pros and cons balance each other, and we get a good smooth-bore gun at the output.
