Makarov Dealer blues!

I recently ordered a Bulgarian Military Makarov from JC Armory in early july. I still have not received it because JCA has moved to PA and have not been able to obtain their FFL as of yet. :mad:

Does anyone know of an online dealer that I can get a cheap Unissued Bulgarian Military Makarov, East German, Chinese, or a Russian mak for cheap? If I do not hear from JCA by friday... I will go with whom ever yall advise me. I heard of a company called SOG that had some East Germans... but I dont have any info on them... :(

If not I will go ahead and make a Glock G26 purchase instead...

Safe shooting!
 
Makarov

Why don't you check out www.makarov.com for info.

I have three Maks. I got mine from AIM INC. They frequently advertise in SHOTGUN NEWS which might give you several alternatives to SOG.

I think AIM has a website too. Try your search engine.
 
Hi again...

Still waiting for that Bulgie from JCA, huh? You already know my story.

Anyway, as to your (and my) continued search, I am not aware of any dealers who have significant inventories of unissued Bulgies. Best option is to head back to the auction boards. Still numerous unissued Bulgies floating around on them - but not at JCA prices. Expect to pay $15-25 more, plus S&H.

As for EG's, about the only place I've seen many of them are at GunsAmerica - a place that always seems to have inflated prices on Makarovs.

Russians? A couple of commercial variants on the auction boards currently, along with a few on GunsAmerica. Don't recall having seen any PM's, though.

Chinese? Haven't even seen one since I became interested in Maks in a few months ago.

Good luck.
 
Not a problem.

Just got a Circle 10 Bulgarian unissued military in 9x18M from the following dealer.

Bill's Guns
R.D. #2
Box 621
New Alexandria
Pennsylvania
15670

Tel. 724 668 8250

He runs the business out of his basement. I called round to see him last week and he told me that he sold his initial shipment of Bulgies and has since received a second. Someone found 50,000 military maks in a warehouse in Bulgaria and bought the lot.

He sold me mine for $134.95 + tax, he ships to anywhere in the country. The gun is a peach and Bill is a straight up guy, get 'em while you can, everyone wants one at these prices.

Hope this helps.

Mike H.,

unissued ???

Thanks,

Stocky,

I never bothered to check the serials, but I've no doubt they're a set.

The gun was unissued and new as a shiny pin, Cosmo'd up to the eyeballs and came with one of the high quality leather holsters (not the crap that the Russians/Bulgarians sometimes issued) a cleaning rod/tool 2 magazines tied together with string (why DO they always do that ?) a basic manual of arms and a Red Star plastic grip.

The story is that the guns were war reserve or some such dating back to the 1960's and were never intended for civilian sale. Like I said before there were 50,000 of then just lying there.

For $135 plus tax and shipping it is impossible to go wrong in my opinion. No home should be without one.

Bill sold his initial batch in zero time, he only had 7 left when I got to him, but when I saw him last week to get some more LVE ammo, he said he had received a second batch.

The watchword here is SPEED if you want one.

Pearce grip $15, ammo $5.50 for LVE or Barnaul, I paid $11 for 25 Hornady XTP's just in case someone needs some chastisement. Pure joy, it just makes all those Glocks and Sigs look a little silly for $600, YMMV.

Thanks Mike,

That's the one I want.
I was gonna go thru JC Armory once they got back up.
And almost went for a NIB Firestar .40...
(Walt will be glad to hear that)
May end up getting the Firestar too...?

Regards,

Stocky
 
Thanks for the info...

One small question... what is SOG? Do they have website or just an 800 number? I am going to call them about the EG
Maks! But, if they are too pricey... I will go with Bill's Guns and get the Bulgies!

Happy shooting Yall!!
 
Hey Walt-

Funny you should mention that- I've been trying all week unsuccessfully to reach them. When either phone line isn't busy, all I get is a recording. No response to my feedback e-mails.
And when I tried to order something shopping-cart, I get a message screen saying 70 bytes data is over capacity of 50; cannot process. I'm on the sidelines on this one.

Do you know them; or how to reach them? Problem doesn't seem to be at my end. I'm confused.:confused:
 
Citizen...

The SSL page of the makarov order form is hosed up. If possible, use the shopping cart and PayPal path. It works like a charm. If you must use the online order from and pay via CC, check out this link. But hurry, he is selling out of stuff fast at those prices and the sale only lasts until August 17.

Good luck.
 
I finally said to hell with it and got a great deal on a Glock G26!!!

I may actually still purchase a Makarov one day soon but for now I will be content with my G26!!!

I will let you all know how it shoots as soon as I get to a range!!

Happy shooting to you all!!!
