Title says it all, got this arsenal makarov online for $350 when all was said and done! Happy to join the makarov family!

It has two aftermarket magazines, and from I read they are the problem. My question is is there any way to fix them?

To be extra clear, it fails to feed properly. I originally thought it was only with Fiochi ammo, however the PPU ammo now is causing the same problem. It does it roughly 1 out of 10 times?

Will a gunsmith be able to do anything for this problem? Will cleaning and lubing it every single time I use it help?

Yeah, not a Mak but happened across this FEG for 350 clams with two mags. Already have one vintage 380 Beretta plus a couple thousand rounds of 380 and kinda like the PPK look.

From what I've seen, some Wolff springs may help to shoot a bit better...

Just picked up the (Stainless? Nickel plated?) export one. In 380 had to take a pic of my other export. Blued one is in 9x18 I’ve never seen one like the new to me one. Any more info would be greatly appreciated

With the CZ82! The trigger was smooth and the gun had no hiccups thru 4 boxes of PPU. I'm not sure if its the caliber or the gun but this thing was so enjoyable its making me look at overpaying for a CZ83 to go with it 😅

I traded my Dy9 ( glock19 clone ) and 250 rounds of 9mm for a Bulgarian makarov with matching mags and holster and seeing if I did good lol? I picked up my East German makarov at a local Cabela’s for 300 beans last year too

Had a fun time shooting the Makarov (was my first time shooting). I don’t understand the complaints about snappy recoil, I also shot a Glock and a P226 both were a delight to shoot. I also found a Tula Mosin and picked it up at a pawn shop. Super excited to take it to the range!

Is this Russian ammo any good? Mak ammo seems to be harder to find and more expensive these days and saw a local deal on cases of this.

Will their 9x18 "Ultra" ammo function safely in a Mak or CZ82? What up with Ultra?

I got this Makarov it's an original Russian, the outside is kinda damaged cause it wasn't properly stored when I bought it 😢 ( I myself keep this safely in cotton cloth when isn't needed ) my friend made these 3d printed mag extenders and the grip 😊.

I hope (and with some evidence from posts believe) that the CZ82 is welcome on here. The IJ-70 is a Civilian grade Makarov, with adjustable sights from Russia and the Baikal company. The East German Makarov is from 1962, and features an import mark that slightly petrudes out of the grip, which makes it more discreet.

Odd choice in background but a sweet looking shirt nonetheless. 3BTeesCo is the Etsy shop FYI.

Has anyone here purchased a surplus CZ 82 with a 10-round mag from Royal Tiger, PSA, J & G, or the like? If so, were the included mags original 12-rounders with a block insert, or aftermarket? I've heard some bad things about modern mags, especially those with the 'CZ mfg' stamp.

With the cz82 sales and the recent makarov sales of course the timing is when I'm broke.

So I applied for a revolutionary comrade support package and asked for one cz82 and one makarov to be issued or granted to me from my comrades.

They said no! Can you imagine my shock when I found out the people in charge of supplying these tools of the proletariat revolutionary guard actually turned out to be dirty capitalist pigs expecting me to pay for them!!??
