Makarov Threaded or Ported barrels?

[coldshot03/04]

How many of you out there have the threaded or ported replacement barrels for your Mak. Do you like the replacement? Pics? Pros/Cons?

Biggest downside to the Mak replacement barrels I've heard about is the FBI showing up at your door and demanding you loan it to them for "testing"

REALLY? Are you serious?

Here is a long running thread on the Makarov.com forum on that topic. Wierd, and just a little scary for my liking: http://www.gunboards.com/forums/UltraBoard.cgi?action=Read&BID=42&TID=25753&SID=1693583

Ah! That looks to be a flame to me. Some People will post anything.

No, as far as I can tell, it's legit. Follow the link. There are more links in that thread.

Don't worry, they only show up if you bought the barrel before a certain date. If you buy one now you're safe...

...until the next time.

I put an extended ported barrel on one of my Mak's. I didn't notice any difference in the way the gun handled and no improvement in accuracy. It does look neat though and no one came looking for the old barrel. My opinion save your money.
