    Makarov Frame Question

    Does anyone have a Makarov that was made between 2006 and 2015 (excluding the 2012/13 PM grip models)?

    If you do, would you mind checking to see if the frame has a seam along it like the lower pistol in the image below.

    I know the 'seam' came in at some point after 2005 and before 2015 but it would be nice to narrow it down a little. None of the PM frame pistols that I am aware of had the seam.

    Thank you for looking.

    I'm resurrecting this thread as no-one replied and I'm hoping someone may be able to help.

    So, to stop me feeling cancelled ; does anyone have a Makarov that was made between these dates than can answer my question on frame construction?

    I have a T08 which doesn't have that seam. (I'm down to one now unfortunately as I've just given the other to my son)

    Hi Steve,

    I am very grateful for your response as it all helps to build a better picture of the history of this classic little air pistol.

    I'd love a T08 as I don't own one yet. I have a gap between T05 and T12, hence why I started this thread.

    Kind regards,

    John

    Hi John,

    The one that I gave to my son is a T11 apparently and also doesn't have that seam.

    Regards
    Steve.

    Thank you Steve,

    If you are ever able to post photos of either or both frames, I'll add them to my records as a reference.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Steve,

    The pistols' left side showing serial number and the underside of the frame lip and trigger guard, where the 'seam' can be seen on later pistols.

    No rush.

    Kind regards,

    John

    As per my reply to your PM, it is Russian for Pistolet Makarova or Makarov Pistol when anglicised.
