Can Anyone Help with Makarov Research?

[TRS1]

I wonder if any of you have a Makarov manual that has been signed off with the surname Korolev?

If you do, I'd appreciate further details such as the date prefix on the pistol/manual.

Also, would anyone have for sale a 2012/13 smaller framed PM with machined slide and extractor slot either for sale or examination?

EDIT: 2012/13 model now sourced. I'm now after a Makarov made between 2005 and 2010, with the hard black plastic grips. Blued finish preferred with box and accessories.

Long shot I know but on the basis members on here often come up trumps, I have to ask...

Hello John,

Any idea when your article will be going out? I would be especially interested in this.

Just a previous Mak owner, stupidly and unfathomably sold a few years ago. Now hankering after another....

They are a bit of an enigma.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I too stupidly sold a 2002 Mak some years ago but happily have replaced it with several others. Part 1 on the early PMM framed pistols is in the current issue with part 2 following in the Summer issue, a copy of which landed on my doormat yesterday. There's so much to the Makarov story that I've prepared 5 parts in total as I also want to cover the kind of mods that are popular in Russia/Germany as well as basic differences from a collector's perspective. I hope you'll find it of interest.

Kind regards,

John

Thanks John, I will get my wife to try and pick me up a copy in town today - look forward to it!

Thanks for the reply - sounds really interesting! I sense expenditure coming on!

I see that your location is Blazingsmoke - before we headed back west in 2010 we had a very happy 5 years living in Hatch Warren. We made some very good friends and still visit every few months.

Have a good weekend,

Tim

Hi Tim,

That's just a stone's throw away from our airgun club near to where I work.

Let me know if you can't track an issue down and I'll scan a copy of the 1st part for you.

Kind regards,

That's very good of you John, thank you. There is one newsagents in our town that usually stocks AGW, but not in huge numbers so you have to be quick!

I think I found out about the club whilst we were in the process of moving! Sods law! Would have been great to have something so close!

My wife taught in town, whereas I commuted to the 'bright lights' of Reading...

All the best,

Tim

Hi John,

I managed to get hold of a copy of AGW thank you, really enjoyed your article - looking forward to the rest! A lot of the info about Baikal Mak's online is so sporadic and spread out (and some of it possibly duff!) it will be great a reference all in one place.

All the best,
Tim
