Bout to get the water boiling and the steam cleaner out myself to decoat a nice good cosmo encrusted DDR Mosin straight from Croatia with love....
Ahhhh...the pleasures of C&R
Do you have your C&R or do you buy them from an FFL dealer?
I have been thinking about getting a makarov (not sure from what country). Do you have any suggestions? (JC sorry to hijack! but I think they are Cali legal too so you may be interested!)

I have a C&R but have good relations with a few FFL dealers so I tend to get firearms using a bit of each. A good small Gun shop is kind of like a Good small local fish store.. Hard to find and if you do have one it is good to support them.
I'm not a huge fan of the Makarov 9x18 but I do have a 1978 Russian Ishvesk PM. It shoots like crap and if it hits something at 15 yards it is rather remarkable.. The best PM type Makarov I have fired was an East German and I kick myself for not picking that gun up. Of all of them (Russian, Bulgarian, DDR or Chinese) I would go for the East german. These can be identified by having a Diamond with a circle in it and often "Ernst Thaelmann" is stamped on them. These are very well made and actually have some accuracy to them outside of 25 feet.
Of the other 9x18 pistols stay away from the FEG PA63 these are junk. The Baikal IJ-70 is pretty nice and close to a PM in construction with some modifications I.E. rear adjustable site, Hi-cap version (If you call adding two rounds Hi cap) both the 380 and 9x18 are worthwhile IMO and not awful. I have only once looked at a Polish P-64 and never looked at the P-83 so I'm not sure about these..

Very nice stuff! Little surprised though... nothing form 1?
That would be an amazing upgrade to the M4. I can pm a link to anyone interested. Don't really want to post it, too much of a stigma associated with form 1 parts.
