      I've got some of this ordered for my MAK.
      It looks a little hot for the surplus gun.
      But I'm thinking a limited quantity with a 21 lbs Wolff spring might be OK.

        the Mak is a tank, never seen one blown yet. shoot it like u stole it.
        . My PM9 has over 34,000+ rounds through it, and runs much better than an illegal trying to get across our border

          I respect your opinion and definitely want to shoot the Mak like I stole it - LOL!
          Merry Christmas BTW

              I sold my one and only .380 about two months ago. Just made a personal decision that 9mm was my minimum caliber for carry. However, when I carried a .380, I carried Hornady Custom XTP in it. I carry Federal HST in my 9mm and larger calibers.

                Years ago I wouldn't even consider carrying a 9mm.
                But times, and ammo, have changed.
                Today I'm carrying 9mm HST 147 in my HK P30SK.

                Said I'd never ever own/carry a .380.
                It's usually a mistake to say never.
                At close range I can rapid fire my Makarov like a machinegun and hit with spooky accuracy.
                Point shooting is effortless.
                Nine rounds in the chest has got to leave a mark.
                Underwood Makarov 9mm 95 gr +P makes more energy.
                And performs better in heavy clothing gelatin tests.
                Than my .38 snubbie.

                So I stand corrected again - LOL!
