And yes, I would still frequent this section if there was more focus on the Baikal Makarov; speaking of which, I am on the lookout for examples from every year of production, so if anyone has one that may be of interest, please get in touch!
The Mak' is an example of a modern classic and is collectable despite still being in production. For me, part of the appeal is the pistol is made of firearms grade materials and built to a standard usually associated with classic BSA and Webley airguns rather than more modern CO2 replicas.
Enjoy....whatever you decide to collect.
