7.65mm Mak vs 32??

Retired LEO · 10-14-2007, 10:00 AM

Was looking for some insight..specifically, does the FEG PA-63 7.65mm marked semi-autos only fire the 9mm Mak or will a standard .32 round work? Seems I've seen a PA-63 fire the .32 round but I thought I understood it fired the Mak round....

Thanks in advance for any info...

The 7.65 rd. is the same as .32 ACP but FEG made a version of the PA-63 that chambers it called the AP. The standard PA-63 fires the 9x18 Mak rd which will not fit in the AP. These guns look pretty much identical although the AP is all blued steel, where the PA-63 has the two-tone finish and alloy frame.

OK, thought the gun I posted about was a PA 63..NOT...shown on the slide as a MD 74..there is no slide stop, no finger rest on the grip, fixed sights, two tone silver/black, small external extractor. It's for sure built for the .32..9x18 round won't fit the barrel. Can anyone offer an guess as to what type pistola this is? It does have the FEG marking on the frame..

I've found a few references to an MD 74, but can't find any real info on it.
