P-64 Variant?

I just got back from the Raleigh Gun Show with a new P-64, and it caught my eye like a magnet because it was different . It was a 1968 round hammer, but the safety lever and extractor were richly plum in color, maybe more so than seen on two Bulgie Maks I own. This color, as I understand, is due to ...

gunboards thread

Food for thought: I am becoming weary of - brow-beating other gunboards on the virtues of the P-64 - aren't we having enough fun interacting on our forum? seeing whom can post the most messages on our forum in the shortest period of time, especially if they disrupt a logical and cogent train of thou...

zastava 32NAA update

Hi, dolang1 I quickly bought a Zastava Model 70 .32 when I heard that the BATF decided not to permit importation of a second shipment due to insufficient points; George (Makarov.com) then backed off on its .32 NAA conversion since more pistols would not be coming in. What make him change his mind - ...

Back from tackling the Polish Drill #1 - tough, but great fun I shot 4 scores of 5 rounds each (labeling each hole with the 1s, 2s, etc); used your ring diameters sent today, Bartos, and shot at 27 yds Score #1 10,9,7,6,6 =38 S&B 95 gr Score #2 10, 9,7,6,5 =37 S&B 95 gr Score #3 9,8,7,7,6 = ...

Bartos - take a look at my earlier post on "competition" and see if the size of the bullseye and rings on the target agree with yours or please correct for us. I am going out this afternoon with my CZAK to shoot at a paper plate with a 120 mm (5") diameter bullseye drawn in the middle...

Made a few calculations after downloading Bartos' target on Adobe Photoshop; enlarged image size to 1/2 actual, cropped out the bullseye and printed it out. Yes, I did this before having any drinks! Bullseye = 60 mm radius to inside ring (dia of line separating circles is 7 mm or ~1/4"); theref...

I was just kidding about the ancillary sights - no humor out there, fjblackesq?

When you get to be my age, that's about all there is! Ha! Bartos has set the conditions and so, if there are 39.37 inches in a meter, we will need to move a 25 yard target back 2.3 feet or, Bartos, is 25 yards OK?

Well, mikethewreck, add 20 years and you are in my age category. Hey, Bartos, do we get a handicap for senior citizens? Ha! I think this competition should be fun, and as B52stan suggests, maybe we will find out that the 90-95 gr cartidges will be the most accurate. Only time and scores will tell! A...

Replacing the mainspring for lighter DA pull

B52stan - Thanks, but please review my previous posts on this thread. I have changed several springs using the tooling hole step described by GaryBuck; my "ugh" reference is to replacing the paper clip AFTER exchanging springs - then you can make the job easier by pushing down on the sprin...

Replacing the mainspring for lighter DA pull

Garybuck: See my earlier post on this thread about putting an 18# spring in my '75 P-64. All functions were fine with the exception of a super light (<2#) SA trigger that strictly belongs in the target shooting category. I have a 20 oz trigger purposely on on a prairie dog rifle, but it is can be to...

Replacing the mainspring for lighter DA pull

Re: Replacing the original spring with the 18# Wolff spring - Range results (See my misplaced post as indicated above in this thread - maybe our moderator can please relocate, if possible, to this thread?) The pistol operated without misfunction thru a box of S&B 95 gr FMJ, mostly firing DA to s...

Oops, put my last post on the wrong thread - should be here -swapped hammer springs - see "what's inside your P-64 holster" thread. Sorry for the mix-up.

Any markings inside your P64 Holsters?

A big thanks for the instructions and photos for replacing the hammer spring (Saands); for finding the VERY helpful tooling hole in the spring support rod (Garybuck); and for the recommended selection of the 18# Wolff spring (Bankerbilly). I just finished replacing the original spring with the 18# f...

Any markings inside your P64 Holsters?

Bartosz - Re: "I'm looking for galil magazine adapter to try use M16 mags but it is very hard to find it. (and I need 35rd galil mags - anybody know when can i buy it)." From the posts, it seems several forum members are very familiar with Polish weapony and would have connections in getti...
