After many years of unsuccessfully chasing after this gun type, I finally snagged one. I got Dennis Kroh's email notice while I was using my phone right after a meeting and quickly pretended like I was still listening to the client speak as I quickly shot Dennis an email saying that I wanted it. It had been 2 minutes since the email landed on my inbox. I was thrilled when I read his signature reply: "You GOT IT! ~~~~~~".
That was last Wednesday afternoon, and in classic Empire Arms' efficiency, it was on its way that afternoon. I picked it up this morning at the UPS Center as we missed the delivery yesterday.
It's a 1960 model, and it came with 2 magazines and a canvas holster. The gun is in excellent condition. I took it apart, cleaned and oiled it this morning, and while a bit dry and with some fouling in the bolt head, there was no other adverse wear I could see. The finish is terrific, only a bit of holster wear on the left side of the slide. The barrel had a tiny bit of fouling that came right off with a light cleaning.
I'm glad to have finally found my EG Mak.
It joins its other German compatriots in my safe, including my Sauer Model H with VOPO markings. I'm looking forward to taking it out shooting next time I have a chance.
