Suppressed Makarov I found in a Police Evidence Locker

This guide details how to create a 'Hush Puppy' clone using readily available Smith & Wesson first and second-generation pistols (Models 39, 59, 439, 459). The primary modification involves installing a compatible threaded barrel, often sourced from custom makers like Gregs Grunts, to allow for suppressor attachment. While a true Hush Puppy involved significant internal modifications like a pivoting takedown bar and slide lock, a close visual and functional approximation can be achieved with a threaded barrel and suppressor-height sights. The video emphasizes the affordability and historical significance of these platforms.

This guide details the field stripping process for the Makarov PM pistol, as demonstrated by Administrative Results. It covers the basic steps to disassemble the slide, recoil spring, and barrel from the frame. The video emphasizes this is crucial for maintenance and understanding the firearm's mechanics. The presenter, with high authority, notes this is an essential skill for collectors of Combloc firearms.

This guide details the modification of a Bulgarian Makarov pistol for suppressed use, focusing on the installation of a manual slide lock mechanism and a wipe-based suppressor. The process involves fabricating a trigger guard lever to lock the slide, threading the barrel, and attaching the suppressor. This conversion allows the pistol to function as a single-shot firearm when the slide is locked, significantly reducing noise by preventing gas escape and cycling. The guide emphasizes the trade-offs of wipe suppressors, including reduced lifespan and potential accuracy impacts, and highlights the importance of safety during modification.

This guide details the disassembly and reassembly of the Makarov PB's integral suppressor, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum on Forgotten Weapons. It covers removing the front and rear suppressor sections, highlighting the unique trigger guard mechanism for rear housing release. Proper safety protocols are emphasized throughout.

This guide details the field stripping process for the Makarov PM pistol, a procedure similar to the Walther PP. It emphasizes safety and highlights the simple blowback mechanism and fixed barrel design. The Makarov PM was developed by Nikolay Makarov and adopted by the Soviet Union, featuring a proprietary 9x18mm cartridge.

This video details modifications performed on a Tisas Regent BR9SS, a Turkish-made Hi-Power clone. Key upgrades include the installation of a BH Spring Solutions threaded barrel, fiber optic sights, a Cylinder and Slide wide bow trigger, and an RDH slide release. The video also covers the unique SFS (Safety-Fast-Safe) system, which allows the pistol to be carried 'cocked and locked' with a fold-up hammer, and demonstrates how to modify the slide to accommodate this feature. Additional enhancements include VZ diamond grips and a beveled magazine well.

This guide details the technique for firing and reloading the Yugo SKS M59/66, as demonstrated by Klayco47. It covers the use of stripper clips for rapid magazine loading and emphasizes the rifle's accuracy potential. The demonstration highlights efficient operation of this classic surplus firearm.

This guide details the technique for firing and cycling the Spanish Cetme FR8 rifle, as demonstrated by Klayco47. It covers manual loading, chambering via bolt action, aiming with iron sights, firing a suppressed shot, and ejecting the spent casing. The demonstration emphasizes proper bolt manipulation and effective use of the rifle's iron sights.

This video details a high-volume fire stress test on a Palmetto State Armory AK-47, pushing the firearm to its limits. Klayco47, a recognized authority in AK-47 testing, demonstrates the rifle's resilience as its polymer handguards ignite and burn during sustained firing. The test progresses to using a 75-round drum magazine, showcasing the AK's ability to function despite extreme heat and visible flames, highlighting the robust nature of the platform under duress.

This video showcases a Palmetto State Armory Spiker AK undergoing a high-stress, full-auto firing test. Instructor Klayco47 demonstrates the potential for thermal failure, with the wooden handguards igniting due to extreme heat buildup. The content highlights the importance of understanding firearm limitations under sustained firing conditions.
