Is the Makarov MP-654K really any good?

[GLow]

I had one and sold it. Some people swear by them, but I didnt find it to be anything special.

Thanks for the reply GLow, Did you have any probs with it or was it just a case of not lighting your fire?

[GLow]

No problems with it, and it was easy enough to strip should there be any problems. The magazine holds both the CO2 and the BB's, which is a nice touch. I preferred the Walther PPK for sheer fun factor.

Give one a go, they do keep their value should it not turn out to be a keeper.

I really fancy an Airwolf and have been seriously thinking of selling my TDR and S16S to put towards a wolf or maybe a ranger. Is yours everything that you hoped it would be?

a wolf or maybe a ranger.

If I may comment?. The Ranger has a regulator, hence better shot-count, the Airwolf does not or it is less effective.
Unimportant if that's not a concern but for HFT/FT it is factor.

Thanks for the info chaps keep it coming


Regards the airwolf, hand on heart it's the best rifle i've ever owned It does everything I want it to do and im still highly impressed with it, the shot count is superb, and I know its one of those 'yeah would say that cos you own one etc' but I will always tell it how it is.

I bought a rapid7 before the wolf because it was recommended to me as the rifle to have etc and at first I was impressed with it, but that gradualy wore off, the lack of any quick fill and gauge started to slowly put me off it, removing the buddy bottle all the time was becoming a chore and then I started to have seal problems and leaks with it which put the nail in the coffin.

sold it and bought the wolf I use it for hunting and target shooting down my local range in my view and from my experiences its highly recomended and everything its cracked up to be

"Pellets will fit if used as single shot"

I didn't know that chap, forgive me for being thick I assume that would be just insert one pellet in the mag and then load?

sounds like theres quite a bit of scope on them then with tuning potential etc

It's not common knowledge but if you remove the slide and manually insert the pellet it will fire them. Fiddly but worth it in some cases.

Ah, I see that would be a little fiddly, I take it theres no way of modding it to fire a mag with pellets in?

with regards to fitting superior barrels do you know if that would allow scope for a silencer to be fitted?

sorry to keep pestering on about it, I just want to increase my knowledge of them, is it simple enough to put it up to around 5ft?

keep the feedback coming good or bad

Lock the slide back using the hold open, remove (or at least partly drop) the magazine and you can load single pellets directly into the barrel using tweezers through the ejection port.

Fiddly, and the view is a bit restricted, but it does work.

They require a little work to smooth out but can be excellent with the required effort.
Power can be turned up over 5ft/lbs and action smoothed considerable, plus a whole host of genuine Mak accsessories can be fitted.

Construction is mostly steel and extremely durable, Umarexs for instance are constructed from zinc pot metal .
Accuracy is quite good indeed with lead BB's and superior barrels can be fitted. Pellets will fit if used as single shot.

Difficult to obtain but one of the best on the market.
