Where did you get the Crazy Jet barrel for it and what size did you use?

I currently have a hand-cut zci in there but i have a 75mm pdi on order, should be around the right length.
Never used a crazy jet.

Working fine tonight in the backyard. Odd. Added some tape to keep the hop arm in place. Deffo a better gun with the barrel extension

Careful with that, pushes the fps a fair bit above what most would consider sensible.

Really? From what i've heard that should be closer to 450, more if your using heavier ammo

My 2p worth...
I have replaced the poor stock hop rubber with the TNT APS-X rubber for gbb pistols - way better range and consistency!
I cut a small piece or rubber from an o-ring and glued it in place to hold the hop adjustment to stop it "backing off". Set up for 0.25g BBs it's performance now is excellent.
I had a spare mag that mis-fired and double fed even after changing the feed lips and release valve, so I binned it and bought another mag and had no issues with that, most odd.
Fitted the brown "bakelite" grips for looks.
Superb little side arm now, but not perfect out of the box.

I love the Makarov. Added aftermarket grips for it to make it look more like a single stack.

ooh that's nice, where'd you get em? loving the weathering on that slide, never bothered weathering myself normally just let it happen naturally.
i suppose a bit of an update to this thread is i do wish there was an aftermarket nozzle, blasting heavy ammo out of mine has bulged the cylinder and dropped her to 0.75j which takes a lot of hop tweakery to keep a .48 flying (although hilarious that it still outranges a lot of the rifles it has to deal with)

yeah, i've got one of the kwc blowback ones with that style of grip and for sure it's not as comfortable.
of course for all the times i use a pistol it doesn't matter too much, mostly it's just for a bit of fun when entering buildings and/or when my rifle runs dry.
If I want serious accuracy, I go for my tuned Mk23 or my Marui 1911.
I wish WE would do a Beretta 1934 so I could complete my Bond collection.
The weathering was done with very fine grade micromesh, were it didn't take the finish off, it gave it a shine. Too often people weather with heavy grade sandpaper in inappropriate places and it looks awful and overdone.

for sure my hicapa definately wins when it comes to range/accuracy, but there's something so satisfying about pinging people at long range with such a tiny gun
might have to look into the weathering, normally i let these things go naturally but it's not really fading to the same effect.

As I do mainly historical airsoft the Makarov is more a holster filler, though now that I am transitioning to a GBBR AK with 40rd mags I may need to use it more often....hmm might need another mag for it.......
One problem that I had with mine to be aware of was the pin holding the trigger guard in came out. Luckily I found it and loctite solved the issue.

winter update:
so i've been running this for a while now and there's a few notes.
first off i think i've cracked the combo for this, 75mm pdi 6.01 stainless barrel, maple leaf autobot 50°, I-Key, assembled properly the accuracy is stupendous on geoff's .32's to the point where every missed shot has you thinking "i should really get better at aiming pistols". with an aeg hop rubber cut to make a spacer you can go to .48's but if you do that nozzles become a consumable part. if you space your shots well it's on a par with my hicapa and better than most of my rifles.
however cold winter performance is definately lacking, if you keep your shots spaced out she's ok but this is not a gun to be mag dumping in the winter, the price of tiny magazines and we's notorious hatred of cold weather.
i did pick up a kwc makarov and by comparison i think i definately prefer the we offering.
out of the box the kwc's fps is a bit spicy, fortunately i got mine off here and the seller kindly downgraded it to make it kosher for our flat 1j limit.
blowback is as snappy as i've met in any gun (co2 of course) and unlike the we you won't be playing the "when will the mag vent" game when rapid firing in the cold.
accuracy is ok stock, it'll lift .32's and for most players it'll do the job, although sadly kwc's internals are going to make repairs/upgrades a pipe dream, i did have to do a little fettling to get the hop set straight but in it's defence its rare to meet a gun that doesnt.
the main downsides are the externals aren't as nice as we's, for example it's a bit tight in my holster (whereas the we fits perfectly) and the big one is it's single action only, not a big deal practically speaking but i do preferr the we's proper single/double setup with the decocker/safety combo.
as a winter gun it's definately a decent choice, but if it's warm enough to run the we i'll almost always take it instead.

Necro time.
My WE Makarov imploded into pieces using Black Gas this weekend. Now, I dont think anything is broken, I think the pin holding the trigger unit came loose, trouble is I now have no idea how it all goes back together. I think I have most of it but am not in the situation where the trigger bar isn't sitting high enough in the receiver to catch the sear properly to pull the trigger. I have to push the bar up for it to actually shoot or hold the gun upside down. @Adolf Hamster any ideas mate? I also can't ge thte fooking pin out for the hop housing at all......

got any pics?
i do find that the barrel assembly won't come off until you drop the hammer- the cocked position of the trigger interferes with it, so if i'm reading you right maybe that's what's jamming it?
the trigger unit is a bit of a pain to work with, kind of hard to describe, but i can pull mine apart as a reference if you need it.
