Makarov picture thread

Let's see 'em!
This one was on my wish list for a little while; I just love the feel of the grips.
Nice and cheap, came with a couple boxes of ammo, I'm happy.

Always wanted one. What'd ya give for it if you don't mind?

Here is my 1984 Bulgarian, with plenty of wear. I adore this pistol and will never sell it.

I don't mind. $275. I forgot to mention that it's East German made.

East German for $275? How did you get out the door?

Russian .380

That is going rate in 'Ole' Dominion'. Last one I have seen was priced at $279. It came with white box and two twelve round magazines. Often when it comes to pricing the county of origin does not matter to a dealer. The one I have seen was 9x18 and made at old IZH state arms factory.

How about a KGB Kommemorative? http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m247/matquig/DSC06100.jpg

I'm amazed that M2 carbine hasn't come through and showed everyone up yet.

That's easy, I was armed! :)

Man, that is purty Erich. Tempts me to fix mine up.

I've currently got three Pistolet Makarovas - one "safe queen", one range gun, and one which I had Parkerized and use for pocket carry. I've also got a couple Berettas (and M9 and a Modello 1934), and a Smith & Wesson Model 637, and have owned a variety of other makes and models over the years. As far as I'm concerned, the Makarov beats all of them. :D

I would encourage anyone wanting to have their Makarov (or any other gun) refinished to contact: http://www.foglesgunsmithing.com/ Beautiful work, reasonable cost, fast turn-around.

Careful. Pistolet Makarovas (be they Russian, Bulgarian, East German, or Chinese) are highly addictive. You'll become a "Makarovnik" before you know it! ;)

Thanks, jmace57 - nice of you to say. :)

Yes Erick--beautiful pistol! In fact, I had saved that top pic of yours a few years ago as my absolute standard for Makarovs! Good work!

Definitely a favorite. What's not to love about the simplicity?

I love my Russian commercial 380. I really really want one in stainless

I also am amazed no M2carbine yet. That guy has a sweet Mak collection.

Shucks, Stringfellow: what a nice thing to say. Thanks! :)

I have to redo the picture. I've bought several more. :)

There you are M2, we've been waiting. Beautiful pieces there. However, for sheer volume I think TripleL wins. What was that, a buy-back in Warsaw?

Estonia, I think, and they were to be crushed with some Toks. Can't remember the original poster either.

What was truly heart-breaking there were small number of 1911A1s among those.:(
