Very interesting project post TTH. The positives of the P-64 are many; the multiple parts and hooking them back up are the downside for the un-initiated. In that respect the Makarov with 27-parts and only one loaded spring - on the hammer - wins. But that's just a matter of training. Good luck, and I'll be following the progress.

I know what you mean about all the parts. I can't wait to do some of my Makarovs since they are so much more simple with less parts. I love both the P-64 and Maks. It's kinda like restoring an older muscle car. I should have some more neat pics soon.

This is just before aluminum oxide blasting with a pneaumatic blasting gun from Lauer Custom Weaponry (where I got the Duracoat)

All parts have been sprayed and dried for 20 min in a 120 degree oven to speed up drying time then fan for a few days to fully harden.
