Most of the “cheap”/ affordable ammo I can find is this brass jacket Sellier and Bellot stuff. Anybody have any experience with it?

(No, we do NOT have to like who's shooting it...still, nice vid of a Makarov!) https://x.com/joiedevivre789/status/1853469417998561366

Just showing my love for my Double stack.

Picked up for 10 each box.

Hello! I recently purchased this East German Makarov and I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far! I'm having one issue with it however. It seems like the mags will have issues where they stick and are hard to easily get out of the gun. Does anyone know if there's any quick fixes that can be done to alleviate the issue? It seems like it might be a spring pressure issue of some sort? Sometimes the mags slide out easy but sometimes (especially after shooting) they are hard as hell to get out and I usually have to use the edge of a table to push the mag release back while I pull on it to get the magazine out.

Hey, do any of you guys have any leads on a Makarov barrel press? I have a federal arms threaded barrel I need to press out of one of my maks and I have searched high and low for a press and can't find one

Who will be the first to determine the third? 😀

I imagine this is old and annoying but plz help me identify this makarov I just put on layaway. I do not believe it’s russian.

Hey guys, I am coming to you with a question. For awhile now I have wanted to put different sights on a bulgy mak just like the old beast slide from Makarov.com. I have a spare slide and I have found a gunsmith that will do the dovetail cuts. But, I don't know which Novak sights will work for this project and was wondering if any of you know what they used or have a beast slide and know which sights they used. Thanks!

Hello, I live in Spain and been looking for a Makarov. Does anyone know where I could buy one in Europe? Thanks.

I'm torn on whether or not I should consider buying a PA-63. I have the .32 ACP variant: the AP-MBP, and it's the very gun I learned to shoot on. I love everything about it, fits my hands perfectly (they are so small that my work gloves are XS), recoil is very minimal and it looks just as attractive as a proper Walther PP. But .32 ACP is anemic, and it has occasional feeding issues. I also have a CZ-82 so I'd like to share ammo between the two. Is the recoil as painful as many others make it sound, or would I have an advantage using it because I'm used to the grip?

I want to start running my Mak during drills but need a holster. Does anyone have suggestions? I see that veddar has an option for a Bulgarian Makarov but don't have any experience with they. Thanks!

Hello, I inherited a couple of things from my grandpa after he died, including a Rossi Model 68, some bags of .45 ACP rounds, and this box of 9x18 Makarov rounds. For context he was a Lt Commander in the US Navy and served in WWII and Vietnam. This box, assuming the number on the top right was its price back then, was bought for $8.50, and contains all 50 rounds. Made In Russia.

Out of curiosity, since searching it on Google no image with this box art comes up, does anyone recognize this? How much does a box of Makarov ammo go for nowadays? And what time period does this come from?

Thanks in advance

Sorry if this is a stupid question just curious if a stechkin stock is compatible with a single stack ‘84 Bulgarian Makarov? I’m assuming it’s an NFA item since the gunbroker directory at the top of the page listing states a class 3 destructive device however the Additional Terms of Sale and the Item Description mentions no such thing about it being an NFA item. If it is tax stamp aside is 450 an outrageous asking price for one? Do they appear at gun shows often?? Thank you for your time and apologies if it’s a silly question.

Anyone know of someone selling an IJ70 slide? Just the slide and sights, nothing else. Been looking but it's only with the other parts on like ebay.

I want to conceal carry a Makarov but would like to know any reasonably priced options that are in good condition for EDC. Also how prevalent are makarov aftermarket parts and accessories?

Has anyone shot .380acp put of thier 9x18 mak? I've heard it works fine....
