Technical features

The fundamental difference from the prototype - IL-12 - a new model did not have. Of course, some changes were made in the external design in ergonomic parameters and the locking mechanism in the device, but in general structural characteristics are the same. The earliest versions of this shotgun, which were issued in 1972, were equipped with the traditional two triggers. But since 1977, they were replaced by modifications that were somewhat different.

Priority in a standard version is as follows: the lower the shot, and then - the top. At the same time, by simple manipulation of the lock lever and the trigger can change the firing order. Due to its special inertia-releasers likely double salvo from two missing barrels.

This is done on the weapon by a smooth descent hammers that are cocked at the trunk opening. To prevent accidental gun shot IL-27 is equipped with a hammer interceptors - automatic fuse, easily transformable into a non-automatic option. Martial shotgun cylindrical helical spring.

Shot

Knowledge of the apparatus of the weapons and how to interact with each other the details of the mechanisms in the process of preparation, and directly during the shooting, very helpful owner. With the loading striker plate during the movement back to its pusher removes the switch to the back position. Before firing the fuse is disconnected, and the trigger is in the down position. Switch front protrusion moved by lateral extension of the right sear disconnector inertia in the rear position - IL-gun 27 ready for firing of the lower trunk.

It should be aware of

From the shotgun recoil force and arrow can simultaneously push back. Finger lag behind the movement of the hook needle, and then the last time to go down, the switch will come into contact with the second sear. By inertia person can come across a hand on the needle, and then followed by another, it has an unintended shot from the top of the barrel. Precisely in order to prevent this from happening in the gear provided inertial uncoupler.

After pressing the hook switch is raised together with the blade, affecting the front lip on the right sear and bringing it out of engagement. It is shot from the first bore. After releasing the sear hook, dropping to the upper plane is in the raised position while the switch under the influence of the spring goes forward. Thus its rear protrusion having entered into engagement with the left sear, already prepares shot from the top of the barrel.

modifications

Since 1972 began the production of IL-27-1S - without guns and ejector with a single trigger, providing the in-sequence firing on a "bottom barrel - the upper trunk." In general, the mechanism of this modification was recognized as a good solution, but because it was subsequently used in a sports version with success. Since 1973, it produced a basic gun IL-27, which the photo is not very different from the prototype - twelve models.

Since 1976 began production of modification equipped with an ejector mechanism for ejecting bagged fit sleeves. "E" letter appeared in their name in alphanumeric index.

By contrast, modern rifles IL-27 - is the improved version. Their difference is reflected in the index marking "M" - "modernized". To date, the Russian market there are four variants of such models most in demand - twelve-gauge. This IL-27M, -27EM, -27M-1C and 1C -27EM.

And in 1995, a very interesting gun appeared on store shelves. IL-27 has become a basic prototype for it. Weapon marked "94" has an upper smooth barrel twelve-gauge and a lower threaded under a variety of ammunition. It is equipped with a unique device trunk connections.

Many people even use such cartridges as "Sunar Magnum", although, of course, the return of the shots is a bit more to them. However, hunting fields battue way to migratory geese, this factor can not be ignored. Design features of IL-27M gun steel base for the development of modern guns such as "North", IL-39e, MR-251.
