Went to gun show today looking for 9x18 guns. Not many for sale. No cz82s or P64s. I saw one makarov with a tag that said Russian but it was Bulgarian. It was unissued in cosmoline. Price was $349. I told the dealer it was Bulgarian but he didn't care. I left with a P83, dated 1991, that appears unissued, there is no holster wear at all on this gun. Included were one matching mag and one non matching mag in cosmoline, cleaning rod and holster. I paid $275 out the door. I know you can find them for less online but I think I did pretty good for an unissued one.

When you add the second magazine, shipping and transfer fees you come out ahead. Plus you got to pick it -- sounds like a great deal to me. Congrats, I'm jealous.

Looks as though you must live relatively close to me. I am in Wayne, PA. Daven
