Its been several years ago at this point, but the 3rd or 4th Makarov I ever bought was a Suhl, new in box. I was travelling for work thru lower SC and saw a small gunshop. Stopped and looked around for a few, and saw a Makarov sitting on a blue box on the back shelf. I asked the guy what he had, and he said, "Oh I can't sell that one to you, I ordered a 9mm and they sent me some Russian POS, I'm gonna send it back" I asked to look at it anyway, and he let me. I asked him what he wanted for it, and he tried his level best to talk me out of it...Kept telling me I couldn't get ammo for it, spare parts could never be found, it wasn't safe, he woul,d feel bad if I tried to fire "regular" 9mm in it, etc etc.....I finally told him that I had another pistol in the same caliber, and had some of the correct ammo. He finally broke down and told me I could have it for what he had in it, $89 bucks plus $12 in shipping. Sad part was I didn't have enough cash on me, and he didn't take credit cards. I asked him to hold it while I went and found a ATM, and he said, "If you don't want it, just say so" I gave him about $22 bucks to hold it, all the cash I had on me at the time...drove around for about an hour looking for an ATM, and than took me another 45 mins to find his shop again...but I finally got it. Brand new, unfired in the original box. And Yes I still have it, and its in the same condition as when it left that shop. And no its not for sale.
