| So, I am looking at acquiring a Makarov. If it is East German or Soviet, do I have to have a special license to purchase it? |
| No special license required, same as any other handgun purchase in the state you live in. IMO the Bulgarians are nicer than the Soviet guns, although the Maks from Soviet era Russia are worth more as collectors. The East german pistols are the best in quality among the different Makarovs, they usually run about 30 percent more than the Bulgarian guns. |
