Makarov pistol

[FrankWang]

Can someone tell me where I can buy a Makarov pistol here in Canada? And is it legal to own Makarov pistol in Canada?

Yes but with extended barrel if you don’t have 12.6

 

[Still alive]

They are legal with the extended barrel unless you have 12(6) which allows the prohib barrel.

Not sure who would sell them though. I would check milsurp dealers like Westrifle, Marstar and maybe Tradex?

Interammo used to sell them a while back both 9mm Mak and 380 but guessing that the sanctions might have affected supply

I had a Baikal Makarov from Interarms. Great little pistol it's too bad supply has become an issue.

I'd buy a 9x19mm Makarov with a threaded barrel.

Only place you'll find them is used... Pop up on the EE from time to time. Very accurate little pistol!

Don't see many of the threaded barrels here... Some in the USA, but not many. You need a press to change barrels, so not as easy as others to swap out.

Currently they are not allowed to be imported due to sanctions against Russia, due to their invasion of Crimea. They do come up on the EE from time to time. New production baikals in .380 and 9x18 makarov go fro pretty cheap 500-600. Less frequently you see Russian and East German military one which usually are $1000 plus.

You next to never see these. I know the Russian military did do them from time to time but the 9x18 barrels are quite thin not alot of room to work with.

I got mine from this guys six years ago. New civilian model Baikal-442 with restricted barrel. I never came across restricted barrel only for sale. Epps had one Bulgarian PM for sale couple years back, but in prohibited status.
Private sale is the best bet for now and nearest future.

Converted Maks tend to be wildly overpriced.

All I know is my prohib bulgarian mak is one of the most accurate pistols I've used. I have just shy of 2 full crates of ammo for it, so shouldn't run short anytime soon.

Since tradeex has this chineese ammo 50 for 17cad, I'm taking PM every time I go on the range - like it, like it a lot.

I never seen converted PM - only prohib or newly manufactured Baikal.
When it was available - it was 340cad. Now - as much as you are willing to pay.

The first case cost something like $13/bx when bought by the crate. But i got the second crate when Canada Ammo was doing some sort of a clearance, and it was around $8/ bx. To cheap to pass up.

I have seen at least two in the EE. Not collector's items but were both listed over $1000.

One sold for I think 1100+fees on auction a few weeks ago
