Baikal Makarov Questions Please

[Bjacobs571]

Pelgunoil oil is the stuff to use with seals. Silicone oil is funny stuff and I am not sure it is good for seals. I am told that pelgunoil oil is actually automatic transmission oil, which makes sense to me.

Just put new seals in, it is a very simple job. Pellgun oil is not a cure all when things are worn out.

Well I fixed the leaky seals by soaking them in silicone oil overnight but now I have another problem! Haha
I pulled the trigger when the slide was locked back and now the slide is completely stuck...help please

my bet is the hammer is now inside the slide, I think I remember this happening to me , I did get it back but can't remember how ,might be as simple as pulling trigger while pulling back on slide and lifting slightly .sorry I can't be of more help .will have a look at mine later.

Much appreciated pal
It is possible that if I can get something inside to cock the hammer it may release the slide? I've also managed to remover the safety catch so any tips on getting that reinstalled would be appreciated! I really shouldn't be allowed anywhere near guns...haha

your right pellgun oil is automatic transmission oil and i can get loads of it from work lol i sort all the lads at our club with it

Well I managed to unlock the slide by pulling down the trigger guard as you would if removing the slide then pulled back and up and off she came!

Now just the safety catch to go back...help please

I have a Baikal Makarov, all steel bought in around 94. Very well made and never been fired. From what I have seen it is much better than later models and must be Generation 1. Clearly is the converted 9mm.

Fancy selling it??

If it's never been fired that's why you think it's great

[Lurchermiss]

I have not said that is great! just well made. It must be worth quite a lot and will go up in value. I do not want to sell it. I have not used airguns since 2004. The only rifle I have now is a Daystate stainless steel Midas, bought in 1988, and like new. Not selling that either

Another internet myth I'm afraid. Granted they are very well made, they are not however 'converted' from the RS

Depends on your definition of converted, it's certainly my belief that the major components of the real steel PMM double stack models were converted for use in the generation 1 CO2 version.... I.e. the slide, the frame, trigger guard & grips - obviously the barrel, valve/magazine assembly and triggers are new parts.
My gen 1 slide for example still has the extractor claw slot machined in - and it's evident from the milling inside it was a real steel one at one point.
Is this converted, reworked or adapted?

Later generations I believe then began to use some specifically made parts, but as above I believe the early models were indeed converted.

PS Just noticed on Rusmilitary's website that they write of the gen 4 model they sell : "90% of Baikal's parts are genuine Makarov (PMM) pistol parts" - not sure how accurate that is, but that's what they're claiming.

That's quite reassuring to know. In that case those Baikal Makarov air pistols must be the most solidly built air pistol of all time? I'll be holding on to my 1999 version for a while yet.
