The Remington Spartan 453 is a semi-automatic gas operated. It is a variant of a popular Russian shotgun MP-153 manufactured by Izhevsk Mechanical Plant for export under trademak "Baikal", in Izhevsk, Russia. It is marketed and distributed by Remington.[1] The Spartan 453 is inexpensive compared to other semi-automatic shotguns. It is most often used for hunting birds, and for clay target games such as trap and skeet. Remington ceased importing the shotgun in 2008.
