Damn that "Grade B" is as nice as the supposed unissued I got from Classic. Granted the ones from classic came with 2 mags for about $30 more.

Nice grade B.

Nice adds. Would love to get an EG Makarov in similar cosmetic condition in the future. Thinking about my 4th Bulgy as the last one that I recently got (from the putative unissued batch) is just gorgeous. Luckily I have a couple of shooters so can stock on safe queens.

This is priced a little high and the grips are wrong but it looks nice.

Enabler.

But $600! (as you noted)

I'll mull it over for the next couple of hours, and see if it's there when I look again. (thanks)

Its Simpsons. Keep your eyes on GB there have been two or three with correct grips, paperwork etc go for $450ish. Not a huge number come up for sale so you have to look frequently.

I got mine for a lot less but it had bulgy or Russian knock-off grips like the one Simpsons has. Replacements are not hard to find.

Thanks for the tips, JimBob2.0. :thumbsup:

Ya they are out there but they are one of those guns that are not rare but starting to disappear into peoples long term collections.

I got mine for $360 a month or two ago but it had the same grips as the one Simpsons had and it was just labeled as Makarov. Sometimes it pays to skim for mislabeled guns, I have gotten a few steals of GB that way.

Abulg1972 · May 1, 2016

I got mine for $303 a year ago. Still can't believe it.

fidelity · May 1, 2016

Appreciate the tip. As much as I want an EG, can't do it when I can get two pristine Bulgarians for the same price.

I would agree with that rational. The East German guns are nice but my first handgun was a Bulgarian Mak (still have it) the fit and finish is actually fairly comparable. East German has better metal clean-up in the "hidden areas" but the overall exterior is about the same. Trigger pull is a little better on the EG but not spectacular.

If you have an HQL Id buy up Bulgarians, sadly Bulgies are not C&R. I got an EG only because I didn't have one and was evading the HQL.

fidelity · May 1, 2016

Have 3 Bulgarians. Will get a 4th before SOG's inventory is gone. Fantastic shooters.

Same EG Makarov I bought a while back, corrected for grip (Had to get the right grip screw from Numrich). Probably have $380 in it total, not bad given todays market.

somd_mustangs · May 8, 2016

... and on the opposite end of the spectrum from the Mak ...

1930's Coston-Sedgley 37 mm flare gun.
These look pretty cool with tri-tone finish (blue barrel, coppery-colored receiver, aluminum grip).
A big honking mutha' and not all that common.
Mfg. in Philly by R.F.Sedgley, which also made the Mark IV (37mm) and Mark V (10 ga - last pic) for the Navy in WW2.

You inspired me to go ahead and get another. I got a Grade A that doesn't look any better than your Grade B, but it came with a very nice holster and a second mag, so I feel like I did OK. Of course, I added on a few boxes of ammo, then when I stopped at store to see if they have 9x18 in stock, I left with a commercial Russian Mak. There's just no way to get out of this hobby cheap.
