1. Had two on hold, could only get one this month. I chose the Makarov over the CZ because she was in North carolina, and I had to get her into the state. The CZ is close and I can keep an eye on it.

2. Just so you guys know I havent stopped collecting, I know its been almost two week since my last purchase;)
1976 makarov (bulgarian)

I now have to wait the thirty days to get my CZ. Longguns are exempt from this rule so Ill be ok. I can still get my fix.

Nice lookin MAK. I picked up one of the new commercial ones last year. Love em. Here in VA at least, C&R pistols are exempt from the one a month thing. At least that's according to the state police.

Whoops, I just noticed that's a 1976 MAK. Not C&R then:(

Looks nice, I see it has the plum colored safety. Does it have the Circle 10 logo on it? If not it may be Russian.

That's my MAK. See how it has the Redstar on the grip??

Looks good.

1. Just got off the Makarov board. My circle arrow and characteristics show my Makarov as a Russian shipped out by CAI. It is one of the few that came with red grips, holster and lanyard in tack.

2. Damn Im a luck guy dont you know:p

Next also is No. 1 MkV Gotta be a Mk.III* (with asterisk). Nice Mk.III's are tough to find these days. Can you confirm that Zou?

The Fourth Horseman, a Mk.V? Good luck. There were only about 20,000 made. :eek:

Opps my mistake!

It was made by BSA in 1917 so that would make it a Mk III* (BSA began production of the Mk III* in 1915)

Nice Mak! I just sold my Bulgie Mak to afford my new Sisterna. I hope to get another soon, though.

They are accurate and reliable.

is this going to be your carry pistol? I carry my Bug mak where ever I go. the only thing is that I can't find a good holster that carries the mag also. I like the holsters that you can wear inside your belt.
but the way how much was she?
