I'm thinking of getting a Bulgarian Mak that the local gunshop has. My question is this: How do you tell the military Maks from the commercial? Isn't there a stamp or something on the barrel if it's commercial? I've heard the military are the better of the two, is that so? Thanks for any info, as I have tried to research this particular question on here and couldn't quite pin it down.
Bulgarian Makarov question
- Thread starter snappy
- Start date
The Bulgarian commercial Maks have "Arsenal" written in big letters on the slide. You can't miss it.
All the Milsurp Bulgarians I've seen have had a 10 with a circle around it somewhere on the frame.
I have both and they both shoot the same, very well. They look almost exactly alike also. I couldn't tell the difference from 10 feet away. I also prob couldn't tell the difference when firing them.

Hey snappy,
J&G sales
www.jgsales.com had them for about $100!! They might be sold out by now, though. Give them a look!!
I was right!! They are sold out!!
They say 3-4 weeks till they get more!!

However, were I to choose between the two, I'd currently take the Bulgarian military. Why? Because they're so dirt cheap right now (by as much as $75 or more over other Maks). $109 for an unissued Mak is a steal.
