makarov question

DougB:

I live in Kali too, but i cannot find any store even has EG mak, Do you know any store around you has them?
 
" There is also a pronounced tendency for the Bulgarian military, and Arsanal pistols to shoot to the left. This, also is not present with the E.D.'s."

I believe this is operator error not the bulgie.
(grin)
I have a few Maks and in most cases the unissued
Bulgies are a "bit" more accurate then the EG's
but not until the trigger is broke in or smoothed
up.While the EG's do in most cases have better
finish and a cleaner look I believe the quality
to be the same. Shooting left with Maks seem to
be a common practice I did it also at first and
found that due to stiff trigger and finger placement I was pushing over on gun as I fired.
One of the best ways to find out accuracy is
benchrest shooting there are just to many variables otherwise.Never beat on the sights until
you are certain.!!
 
JohnAK,

Sorry, but I don't know of any curent source of EG Maks. There was a store in Sacramento (that also sells through Shotgun News under a different name) that had a bunch of them (100+ I think) - but that was a year or so ago. I don't remember seeing them last time I was there (although I wasn't really looking for them, so they might still have some). It is Old Sacramento Armory on "J" Street.

I do see some used Maks in the used/consignment racks in stores. I was in a store a few weeks ago and a cople came in wanting to sell one (a Russian, I think), along with about six boxes of ammo. They talked to me while they were waiting for an employee and asked what struck me as a fairly high price for it. When they finally made the deal with the store (which wasn't too interested), they wound up selling it for around $80 or so I think (about half what they quoted me). When I got to thinking that the ammo alone was worth at least $30, I wished I'd dickered with them a little. ANY working Mak has got to be worth $50. And I think the store would have been okay to just make the DROS processing fee and be done with it. Oh well.

Doug
