| So I have a Type59 which as I stated in a previous thread is allegedly different than a standard Mak in some places. Now a standard Mak mainspring works so Im hoping that a standard Mak 380 barrel will work also, but before I buy one I would like to make sure a standard Mak barrel has the same dimensions. So Im wondering if someone could measure the overall length, barrel length, chamber length, barrel diameter and chamber diameter. I figure if all of those are the same then the barrel will work. Thanks guys! |

Not sure how the Type 59 differs from any of the other Makarovs. My Norinco seems to be compatible with my other military guns. Although, I don't know if the .380 barrel is a "standardized" item.
Alas, I have what appears to be a spare Russian 9x18 barrel as it's marked with the Cyrillic character for "sh" and the #5. From it I have the following dimensions that I feel would be the critical ones from a barrel swap standpoint (look for my "Complete Makarov Disassembly" video on Youtube). Width of Feed ramp/lug on barrel: 0.233" Barrel width (stepped portion that fits into the "hood" on the frame): 0.514" Barrel width (at muzzle end): 0.506" Barrel length (chamber face to muzzle end): 3.676" |
