My uncle and I went to a couple gun shows today. I've been meaning to get one for a while, but in NY it's near impossible to get a permit. I had an idea of a few I wanted, and I saw this and liked it immediately. I paid $265 for it, it's a Hungarian-made FEG PA-63, which from what I read is a Walther PPK clone, and uses 9x18mm Makarov rounds. It came with a nice leather holster, one magazine, and a box of ammo. I need to get with my uncle (who is a cop) or my dad's old friend from HS at the range to learn to use it properly, and safely. I'm thinking about getting a bit lighter hammer spring, as the initial pull is quite heavy. Will see about that later. I'm also left handed, so I need to try to find the standard grips for it, since the thumbrest on the lefthand side might get in the way.
If anyone knows anything about deciphering the year of manufacture from the Serial numbers on FEG firearms, let me know. I'm trying to find the year of make. From what someone else there said, the B series should be late 60s.
I just spent 2 hours taking apart/cleaning/oiling it, it was pretty dirty. It definitely seems like it's seen some use in the past.
Anyway, here are some pics!
