NEW PA-63'S X 3...

Post by pa63 »

I picked up 3 PA-63's today and extra mags and 250 rounds of ammo and I am thrilled. 1 was unfired, 100%, tight and stiff springs, the other 2 were 99+%, had been fired but looked almost new too. Ammo was WWB and it's so strange to find the Winchester ammo marked made in Czech Republic.

Don't we make anything here anymore? LOL...

Next on list are a few PA64's and mags and lots more ammo..
I've converted to all Warsaw Pact guns and am 9x18 Mak caliber only from here on out.

Sellier & Bellot, based in the Czech Rep., makes some of Winchester's metric calibers, I had some Win 7.62x54R that was made there too.

I don't know Norm. I've got 2 P-64's, 2 Makarovs, and one AP-9 and I just can't get excited about the CZ-82. I think it is the complexity that makes me want to steer clear. In my current European lineup, any idiot can strip them. The CZ-82 looks like it would require too much thinking.

I agree that the CZ-82 is a fine gun, and complex, and in the "right" caliber, but for some reason that I cannot put a finger on, if fails to have the same mystique as the others. Maybe too, there are so many NEW CZ-83's on the market from CZ-USA, that it just kills it for me. However, I will not say "never", and some day, It may call my name, but for now, I've still got too many other Cold War period guns on my want list...

P64owner, your going to love your PA-63 so much it may be a toss up as to which is your personal favorite. I feel the PA-63 is a little more accurate for me at long distances, I also find that I have an easier time doing rapid strings of taps with the pistol.
Every one has their favorites and my PA-63 is one of mine.

I swear I looked on J&G before, for these mags and didn't find them but there they are right where you said they were, any way thanks i got 3 of them.
Gunneyrabbit you are 100% right at a distance the PA-63 is a fine shooting gun I have put 300+ rounds of Norinco ammunition through it without a hitch. sad to say my Norinco connection has dried up was paying 8.00 a box for 50 rounds. BUt i did buy the last 7 boxes they had so have a small stock pile.

Different spokes for different folks come to mind here, I too have two P-64's, two Makarov's, but I also have a CZ82 that I got talked into getting by anjdrifter and I'm very thankful he did. Its a heck of pistol and I really like the polygonal bbl, at 10 yards which is about as far as I can see to shoot or care to with a pistol, using the point shooting method I can put all 12+1 rounds in a 9" paper plate, now I can do the same thing with the P-64's and Makarov's but I like the fact I've got 13 rounds of 9x18 heading in the right direction rather than 7 or 9. I can understand why some feel different, and thats why they make different brands/types of bicycle's, for me I don't care for the P-63, but I like a all steel pistol in most guns, the P-63 just doesn't do it for me, to light, of all the handguns I own only two are not all steel, a S&W 908 and a Taurus PT145, now I do like them, but I have shot a P-63 and its just not for me, but I can appreciate those who do like em.

gunney,

Believe it or not all I've done is wipe it down with a silicone cloth and take off the white paint on the front sight, otherwise this is the way it came from AIM Surplus up in Ohio, I called them and asked about getting one handpicked and the girl said they were all nice so I told her to send me one. I have always had good fortune with AIM, been dealing with them for about 4 years now.
