BSeevers Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Find a good Makarov first. Couldn't resist that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I think the East German Maks I brought back with me from Germany are very nice. At $14 a piece it was too bad I could only bring back 3. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The Makarov is actually a very elegant design. It's just the workmanship of some examples that isn't exactly elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I have had several and would still have them but for the triggers..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane Thomas Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 My personal Makarov has had the trigger worked over, and then the entire gun was Black Ted which does its bit to smooth and lighten trigger pulls, as well. This gun has an ultra-smooth 10 pound DA and 3 pound SA. This is also probably the only Makarov you'll ever see that has adjustable high visibility night sights.

Sounds like $500 of work done to a $100 gun! Not that there's anything wrong with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
