    I agree. The trigger is way better than the later sintered ones and I like the way the foresight can be adjusted laterally then secured with a screw. Only problem is if the screw loosens, it's easy to lose the front sight block, as you nearly discovered on Sunday!

    Currently looking for Baikal Makarov pistols with the following prefixes to the serial number: 98, T01, T09, T21, T22
    Prefer boxed or cased but will consider loose examples too.

    Excuse my ignorance but how did they make the curly trigger that way? Was it machined, cast or bent in that shape?

    That truly is an amazing Mk3 as I think I may have said before!

    Kind regards,

    Very envious John, that would look look great at my Monday night Bell Target club😉.

    Good day with you on Sunday, very enjoyable drive and conversation, I was a a tad disappointed with the 50 when I got home and gave it a good looking at, never mind you win some and lose some.

    Cheers
