Where to find Bulgarian MAK's

jerry · 08-20-2006, 08:36 AM

Looking to get into a MAK. I like the Bulgarians. Where out there could a guy find a good souce to FFL one into the gun store?

Wish I'd done this years ago, but like the Garand, better late than never.

Thanks in advance,
Jerry

AIM Surplus had a few last time I looked, may be gone now though. ALso, I saw a couple on gunsamerica. Hope that helps.

You are a year or two too late for the Bulgarian Makarovs. Typically these can still be found at gunshows and the odd pawn shop, but the price has gone up to around $200.
The latest wave of imports are East German Makarovs, which are C&R eligible.
Hurry up or you'll miss those also. The price is around $350.

That link you posted shows an IJ70 (Russian commercial). While that looks like the original box and accessories, the grips are not original and are for an East German military Mak. The IJ70s came with 2 mags, but in this case the third mag is an East German mag.
Somehow I doubt tht it is NIB. Notice the wear pattern on the rear sights.

Bottom line: $300 for that IJ70 is too much.
