$400 is about the going rate these days for Bulgarian Maks, but glad to see them still being imported.
I prefer the older military Maks without Arsenal roll marks, and the red grips are a value add (though only worth the $20-$30 bucks they're charging)

I've been eyeing a polish in my lgs for 500 that comes with some ammo. May have to get it.
9-makarov@reddit
If its Polish, its either a P-83 or P-64. Not a true makarov, but good guns for what they are. Ok price for a P-83 with ammo, but a bit high for a P-64.
TurnipCase@reddit
I had a p64 stolen from my truck years ago. It was a great shooter! I take some solace in the fact that the person who stole it likely doesn't know the gun isn't a 9x19 and probably tried to shoot it with the wrong ammo.
DukeoftheGingers@reddit
As a fellow P64 owner I have never heard anyone refer to them as great shooters haha.
BH11B@reddit
Literally the worst recoiling handgun I’ve ever shot and i wear a 2xl glove. That thing was violently harsh. Sold it asap.
TurnipCase@reddit
The double action was awful! Felt like a 50 lb trigger lol. Once it was single action though, I could hit anything with it. Snappy but not a problem. I enjoyed it!
SwampKeys@reddit
Man I'm silly. Double checked and it's a TT33 not a makarov 😂
Platanium@reddit
What country is it?
SwampKeys@reddit
Polish
Platanium@reddit
Oh man that's my favorite kind, lucky
RedLeader501@reddit
Ah. The red grips are what really caught my eye. Are you saying those are recent ads, and that these were likely never issued like this?
9-makarov@reddit
The red grips are what the Makarov was issued with in most militaries.
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
Sure is cool they're mixing surplus military guns and brand new civilian export guns without an option to pick which you get.
The examples are 2 '84s, a '93, and a 2025.
Little-Historian-850@reddit
Just searched for ammo and dang the pickings are slim. If you’re a new owner on a budget this might be one of those you shoot once a year if even and only keep an extra box on hand.
Little-Historian-850@reddit
“New owner” “On a budget”
Doesn’t mean the ammo doesn’t exist, means if you’re light on the cash and picking between 1000 rounds of 5.56 or 9x18 mak. The 5.56 probably takes priority seeing as they’re priced similarly.
Sudden_Construction6@reddit
I'm the same way with my Tokarev. It's not that I regret buying it, I just don't shoot it that much.
Typically I'm packing up 5.56 and 9mm to take shooting and deviate mostly towards .45 if I bring another caliber
Few-Entrepreneur-316@reddit
I just sold my norinco tokarev, perfect condition but it was just rotting away in my safe personally.
krismasstercant@reddit
Bro just looked at the first google result
Nearby_Breadfruit884@reddit
Or I frequently buy ammo from them?

Scav-STALKER@reddit
It’s not that bad, can find around $20 a box online
RedLeader501@reddit
I don't know much about Makarovs. Sounds like there are different varients from throughout the Soviet Union.
Are Bulgarian Makarovs considered one of the better/rarer versions?
cyclorphan@reddit
wait, weren't these like 50-75% of this price a couple of months ago?
iteslenko@reddit
Sarco had commercial parkerized version on discount for $299 1.5 years or so ago and I jumped on it but I didn't like mine very much bc of that particular finish and sold her recently. These are supposed to be a military version with blued finish, I wonder how fit and finish would compare to my East German one...
SteedOfTheDeid@reddit
You're thinking of the Czech CZ-82 Makarov which is an abomination and does not deserve the Makarov name
someperson1423@reddit
Fwiw I got mine for under $300 but that was 11 years ago so I think you are off a tiny bit.
9-makarov@reddit
Bulgarian military Makarovs haven't gone for much under $400 in over 5 years. Maybe fair condition Arsenal refurbs you could find for around $350.
LeftHandUpWhoAreWe@reddit
This is a good Virginia small business. Support these guys!
In for one for sure
FlapperGasfire@reddit
Virginia LGS are seriously under attack right now too. Especially good time to support them.
Filthycabage@reddit
Not C&R damn
He_NeverSleeps@reddit
I think I still have an old Shotgun News somewhere with ads for these for $109 each. Along with $59 Mosins and $79 SKS's. What a time to have been alive
IggyWon@reddit
What are those prices like when you run them through an inflation calculator?
LocationFine@reddit
437 for 1980 dollars, 273 for 1990 dollars.
64stackdiamonds@reddit
I'll take 10 of each please
SniffyBT@reddit
The grip panels look like a misshapen penis.
Now you can never unsee it.
Falcon77777777@reddit
This deserves an upvote. Darn you
malfeas99@reddit
The glans helps with indexing.
FilthyHexer@reddit
Dammit hes right...
SniffyBT@reddit
I still want one though.
Knownbuckle@reddit
In for one, always wanted one. Pretty good price too
Interesting-Win6219@reddit
I love my Bulgarian Mak. It's the most drippy milsurps I own. The finish on them makes my bussy throb
JOEYballsGOTTI@reddit
Well I mean... if it's a throbbing bussy on the line.
