Wow looks like a fairly simple firearm .

Simple, AK reliable, decent accuracy, most are made of good quality steel (some of the later russian commercial ones used alloy frames). What more could you ask for in the under $300?

IDK I was bored when I posted this and I'm a fan of the Mak

Way back when (2003) they had a group buy on the Falfiles. It was kind of a shot in the dark but I bought 2. What we got was a unissued bulgy Mak with 2 grips, 2 matched mags, a mag loader, a mag 2+ extender, cleaning rod and mag release ring.

These were picked for non forced ser #'s as many with Cyrillic lettering had to be renumbered. These were PW arms imports with the small lettering. $150 each.

What does an East German Makarov go for these days?

I might have one I'm looking to sell or trade. =)

Depending on condition and accessories $350+.
Excellent condition D.D.R. Surplus pistols sell in the $400 range, Simpson Suhl (post unification) commercial guns (rare) about twice that to collectors.
Good condition or mismatched pistols at the lower end.
