Original Bulgarian Makarov 9x18 1 mag Excellent Cond

I was going to wait until I shot before I wrote a review but you can read all about how these shoot in many places. I just want to write that this came in beautiful shape. It was caked in cosmoline and if you don't have patience or want to pay someone to dismantle this to the bare bones, you will have a nice pistol to look at. I enjoy taking apart my guns and learning the inside and outs though, so it was fun for me, but the cosmoline smell, I could go without for many years now! I was a bit leery without a pic but after I did a bunch of research, I came to the conclusion that this was pretty much the same as other companies were offering. I did do the layaway route as I wanted to try that purchase option also. It takes a few days for the Echeck to clear so be prepared for that if you pay that way. After I finished payment and it cleared, they shipped it monday and arrived tuesday. From what I've looked up, mine was assembled in 1988. It is a very beautiful gun. It does have small feint lines in the finish like after a car has been buffed and I don't know if that's normal or not but I've always liked that look anyways. As it was sitting in layaway I decided to ask if it came with any of the extras(holster, lanyard, etc...) like other sites offer and they answered back that it was in a sealed box and they did not know. When I got it, it was just in the UPS box with bubble wrap. Mine did come with an unused holster and extra star grip but not sure if they added after I asked or not? I do know on some sites, not all extras are guaranteed. I think it's worth it even with out the extras. I own a PT111 G2 from Tauras and this Mak is almost identical in size and weight. ofc, they are different designs but other than that, the G2 would be a great comparison for people. Although Buds had the storm and were working overtime to get every one's orders out, they still did an awesome job at getting mine to me quickly!
