Another PA-63...

Yeah, not a Mak but happened across this FEG for 350 clams with two mags. Already have one vintage 380 Beretta plus a couple thousand rounds of 380 and kinda like the PPK look.

From what I've seen, some Wolff springs may help to shoot a bit better...

Just picked up the (Stainless? Nickel plated?) export one. In 380 had to take a pic of my other export. Blued one is in 9x18 I’ve never seen one like the new to me one. Any more info would be greatly appreciated

With the CZ82! The trigger was smooth and the gun had no hiccups thru 4 boxes of PPU. I'm not sure if its the caliber or the gun but this thing was so enjoyable its making me look at overpaying for a CZ83 to go with it 😅

I traded my Dy9 ( glock19 clone ) and 250 rounds of 9mm for a Bulgarian makarov with matching mags and holster and seeing if I did good lol? I picked up my East German makarov at a local Cabela’s for 300 beans last year too

Had a fun time shooting the Makarov (was my first time shooting). I don’t understand the complaints about snappy recoil, I also shot a Glock and a P226 both were a delight to shoot. I also found a Tula Mosin and picked it up at a pawn shop. Super excited to take it to the range!

Where to find cheap Makarov

7 Upvotes

I’m looking for some older makarovs. I’m not sure what model. But the cheaper I can go without it being a total loss would be awesome vut I’ve never purchased guns so I have no idea where or what is a good gun to buy

Brown Bear Ammo?

Is this Russian ammo any good? Mak ammo seems to be harder to find and more expensive these days and saw a local deal on cases of this.

Fiocchi Ultra ammo

Will their 9x18 "Ultra" ammo function safely in a Mak or CZ82? What up with Ultra?

CZ82, IJ-70, DDR Makarov

Post image
44 Upvotes

I hope (and with some evidence from posts believe) that the CZ82 is welcome on here. The IJ-70 is a Civilian grade Makarov, with adjustable sights from Russia and the Baikal company. The East German Makarov is from 1962, and features an import mark that slightly petrudes out of the grip, which makes it more discreet.

Odd choice in background but a sweet looking shirt nonetheless. 3BTeesCo is the Etsy shop FYI.

CZ 82 10-round mag question

8 Upvotes

Has anyone here purchased a surplus CZ 82 with a 10-round mag from Royal Tiger, PSA, J & G, or the like? If so, were the included mags original 12-rounders with a block insert, or aftermarket? I've heard some bad things about modern mags, especially those with the 'CZ mfg' stamp.

Communist pistols and capitalist sellers ruined my day...

7 Upvotes

With the cz82 sales and the recent makarov sales of course the timing is when I'm broke.

So I applied for a revolutionary comrade support package and asked for one cz82 and one makarov to be issued or granted to me from my comrades.

They said no! Can you imagine my shock when I found out the people in charge of supplying these tools of the proletariat revolutionary guard actually turned out to be dirty capitalist pigs expecting me to pay for them!!??

😅🤣😂

CZ82 Safety?

Thumbnail

53 Upvotes

How the hell could I carry one of these things on safety potentially? My friend who knows more abt firearms suggested pulling the slide back and latching it but that seems so impractical to carry like that. You have to have the hammer pulled back to use the back latch, and I don't feel great about a gun with the hammer pulled back pointed at my genitals. I have been keeping it in my lockbox with the magazine out and the trigger guard pulled down.
