Royal Tiger Imports is showing excellent with one mag $225. This is the retail side of I.O., I think.
So I guess they only sell I.O. imports not the recent C.A.I. ones
I know they used to offer a hand select, so maybe all they have left are all really excellent

Good news here for you C&R folks:

" C&R Eligible! ALL PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE DUE TO AVAILABILITY. Polish P-64 Pistol 9x18 Makarov. Our Polish P-64 Pistols are in excellent condition and include one magazine. 9x18 Makarov"

As was said, if the U.N. arms treaty passes, the surplus market will be dead. That applies even if the U.S. doesn't approve it, but the U.N. does.
So buy them while you can.

Who can say what the surplus market will do? The goal was not to end trade in firearms but to regulate it. At least that was the official reason.

Allegedly the Treaty is coming up, again, on August 27th. That's a rumor.

While some in the US are blaming the NRA I suspect that US arms manufacturers were complaining to the White House, Congress and the State Department about being shut out of certain markets. The US Department of State likes to send "donations" of Arms to certain rebel groups, something that the ATT was intended to stop.

My guess is that part of the reason that the US Government is putting in huge requests for ammunition is to buy support for this Treaty from Alliant and other Defense Contractors who might otherwise complain that their markets are being "shut out".




The P-64 has a six, count 'em, six round capacity in its magazine. I don't see it being classed as an "assault weapon". Whether the Poles will continue to export them is another matter.

Cash is king and I would think most countries that have surplus inventories would like to see some revenue.
