I didnt see any MAKs at classic, aim, jgsales.

Any retailers selling them right now? I guess the currently supply is dried up?

thanks!

Been gone for a long time. Look at your regional gun trader boards. Two listed here in GA. Not cheap anymore.

Fifty or so on Gunbroker.  None of them a bargain.

Updating an old thread, got an email the other day from Classic about Bulgarian Makarovs and thought it would be nice to pick up a 2nd one. They claimed these were in very good to excellent condition but pictures looked average.  The shocking part is they were $480!!  And they were already sold out!

Agree with above. They tend to come in waves. They are more appreciated these days and command more $$$.

The Bulgarians come in waves or you can find something on the secondary market.

My Commerical Russian .380 and Surplus East German 9x18mm.



I picked up the Commerical Russian cheap at a LGS earlier this year during the COVID-19 gun panic.

Been 8 months and now get another email that Classic has more Makarovs, and they "start" at $499 and go up from there, such as an extra $30 for a red bakelite grip.  Seems crazy but if someone really wants one may want to get one before they get more expensive!

Paid $500 two weeks ago from Mosin Crate, but with free shipping and 3 magazines included.

Ain't nothing going back to 2010 pricing.

I've had several over the decades.  First was a Chinese I got in Munich West Germany back in 89' and then ATF denied my Form 6 import permit  I did put 3,500+ rds thru one Bulgarian in Afghanistan in about 3 months last year.

I saw a commercial Russian Mak with adjustable sights sell in just a week at my local FFL for around $400.  I’m glad i got my milsurp Bulgarian when i did about 5 years ago for just under $300 with blade tech kydex holster and all the military swag that it came with except for the box.

I carried a Bulgarian Mak for years, even though they weren’t on the approved list for off duty carry, it was my go to, even in a Fobus paddle holster. I had the coin to get a more expensive pistol, but the Makarov was accurate, and perfect.

Still have it, and t he East German Mak too…..

Atlantic Firearms have several grades of Maks right now, excellent is gone but still have very good for $469.

The ship has sailed on Maks. You're paying GLOCK prices for a gun that cost the commies $15 to make. Add the Russian ammo ban and it's not a good idea to buy a Mak.

Good grief -- had a hankering for a MAk and just looked at GunBroker

Walther PP prices  ---   sheesh -- oh well

Kicking myself for only picking up one Bulgy in the mid-2000s at a gunshow for $69 with 2 mags. Thought it was too high at the time and the dealer had a 2nd for the same price with only one mag and the import stamp was crooked. I passed and this was at the end of their availability.

I always liked the bulgarian maks but the ones I saw advertised recently were billed as “new” and priced at $499.  

No mak is worth $500.

Saw two decent condition used Bulgys at Fort Worth Cabelas today for $329. Almost bought one but I couldn't bring myself to buy a 3rd, even for that price. I'll probably regret it.
