Makarov serial #'s - The Firing Line Forums. Where is the serial number located on a 9mm makarov. What is a browning highpower 9mm with German markings and all same serial numbers worth. Pistol Makarov 9 mm - Classification: Manufacturer Allocation Marks on the Weapon. Serial numbers: Arsenal, Bulgaria Baikal, Russia Norinco, China.

I was looking for a new concealed carry gun today and picked up a used Makarov 9x18mm. For previous concealed carry, I had two choices: a wonderful Ruger P89, which is so huge, it is difficult to conceal or a horrible little P3AT, the Kel Tec's.380 bug gun. At the gun store, I traded the used Kel Tec and fifty dollars for the Makarov (it was originally marked $200). I liked the Makarov because it was way smaller than the Ruger P89, but far more functional than the awful little Kel Tec. The Kel Tec jumps all over the place, has a very long and hard trigger pull, has nonadjustable sights, and can barely hit anything at ten yards. Also, if you don't take very good care of it, the Kel Tec malfunctions. Most of it is plastic.

As some of you know, nothing means more to me in a gun than ruggedness and reliability, which the Marakov has a very strong reputation for. I tested the pistol and it shot like a dream.

To test the pistol (it was used, after all), I shot all 8 rounds in about six seconds at ten yards. I got all but two right on the bulls eye. I think that's very good for simply zapping off shots like that on a gun I've never fired before.

It's the most comfortable pistol I think I've ever shot and the recoil is impressively light. This one is a Baikal Marakov, made in Russia. Here are a couple of photos. The other photos have to do with questions, which I hope some people more knowledgable than me can answer. Now for the questions. I notice there are serial numbers on the left side of the pistol above the grip.

The number if J052477. Weirdly, that number is stamped over top of ANOTHER, lighter serial number. That original serial number is repeated above the trigger guard, under the model number. It reads: AKB0528. Why are there two serial numbers? Why was the first serial number stamped over with the new serial number? Pictures below.

Next, do these pistols have any information on what year it was manufactured? Also, is there any other information you knowledgable folks can give me based on the markings?

The markings on the left side above the trigger guard is the model number: IJ70-18A. Then it says, 'Made in Russia by IMEZ.' Also on the left side, above the grip is the original serial number, the new one on top of it, the code 'SA01', and three symbols, visible in the third photo. The left side grip has a star and the word, 'Baikal' in quotes. The right side of the gun has, on the slide, the words 'Cal.

9mm Marakov,' 'K.B.I.,' and 'ING.HBG.PA.' The grip also has a star and a 'Made in Russia' tag.

Photo of the right side slide lettering below. Any information you could give me about this particular Makaraov based on that information would be greatly appreciated! *EDIT* The left side grip also has a little metal ring on the bottom. What is that for? */EDIT* Last of all, I disassembled the pistol and I'm not sure the firing pin is in right. Does this look like the right rotation to you?

The pistol came with only one mag, so I'll need to get two more. Looks like the mags are twenty to thirty bucks. -Erik I have some extra mags I'll sell you for $10 each. These are the 8 round mags. If your pistol takes the 12 round mags they wont work. Your pistol is one of the Russian commercial Maks. Be careful as the adjustable sights are a bit fragile and are non-standard if they break and need to be replaced.

The Mak makes a great carry gun. I used an East German Mak as my first carry gun for a couple years before upgrading to the S&W M 65 revolver. I used to use a cheap clip-on IWB holster I got from Makarov.com. It worked OK.

It concealed well, but the retention wasn't that great. There are some decent HP defensive rounds available now in 9x18mm. You'll have to hunt a bit to find them though.

The ring is a lanyard loop to secure the pistol to a holster or belt. That way it is not lost in battle. The hole in the Glock grip serves the same purpose and original 1911 had the same loop on the mainspring housing.

Many military purpose pistols have these. Defensvie rounds can be found easily if you haunt a well stocked gunstore. Corbon makes the hottest, and likely the best round for the Mak with the Powerball. It is an HP designed to function like a FMJ round.
