Re: CZ-83 $220 OR $240

Personally I wouldn't buy one because of the price gouging on 380 ammo. I would stick with the CZ82, unless you wanted to buy the CZ83 as an investment.

Iver Johnson M1 Carbine

I love my M1! I have a wall mount for it that I bought from The Sportsman's Guide so it's loaded and ready when I need it. Mine is also an IJ model with the metal heat shield. I have seen wooden shields at gun shows, but I'll keep the metal. Makes it look bada$$.

joined the P83 crowd

Here's a photo of the Makarov mag and P83 mag. The circled pin I believe can be filed down to use in a P83.

Mirother, you may need to polish your feed ramp. I only have Silver Bear HP ammo and mine never misfired or failed to feed.

Polish P-83 Wanad at J&G Sales

I ordered one, and I strongly urge you to buy extra mags at the time of purchase. They cost $14.95 but you can't find them anywhere but J&G. After putting the Makarov and P83 mags side by side, I do believe a Mak mag will work in a P83 if you file down or cut off the pin on the left side of the ...

I got my P83 today from J&G sales. I was VERY pleased with the condition of the pistol. It had been fired and was very dirty, but the physical condition of the P83 was excellent. It is slightly larger and heavier than a P64. It appears to have some stamped/welded sub assemblies, but it should no...

Iver Johnson M1 Carbine

I've got the same brand of M1 carbine, and love it!! Many places sell the mags such as:
www.jgsales.com
www.centerfiresystems.com
www.aimsurplus.com

I have a Korean made 15 round mag which feeds just fine. I recommend cleaning and lubing which also may help.

I have 2 CZ82s and never had a misfeed. Have you polished the feed ramp? lubed the mags? They may help your feed problem.
I use Wolf, but prefer Silver Bear (Brown Bear is OK too).

Sell the S&W, but I would spruce it up with some gun blue before I trade it in.

9x18 collection so far

You guys have some sweet looking 9x18s!! Pirate, I just sent my CZ82 off to the gunsmith for the exact same matte black Gun Kote. Can't wait to get it back. I' will probable do the same with my other CZs and Bulgy Maks.

Picking up my p-64 from j&g....what to expect.....

Just be sure to take it apart and clean it really well and polish the feed ramp. I rarely had a misfeed after the feed ramp was polished with my Dremel tool. Next, buy a spare mag if it doesn't come with an extra. Finally, the cheapest place I have found to buy 9x18 ammo is www.thesportsmansguide.co...
