Mag is dated 58.
I’m not sure if it has been arsenal refinished at some point but if it has been it’s a great job.
I don’t do natzy firearms except for occupied ones so it’s pretty much been one of these I’ve been after.
Did some trading (the guys who never get rid of a gun hate this I guess) so I have under $200 into it.

Well done.
I don't collect the way a lot of you guys do (I would if I could), but I have sold a few rifles over the years.
I have to say, I almost always kind of regret it somewhere down the line.
I don't really have any specific reason for feeling like that, but I always get that lingering feeling.
But since I don't have the cash to move a lot of stuff around, it doesn't really come up very often.
I really do enjoy seeing what you guys manage to find.

Suppressor is too tall for the sights.
Interesting accessory.

Well knowing that silencers are only for assassins I don't think the sights matter much.

My Ruger 22/45, and Walther PPQ .22 and SP22 all have tall enough sights to see over the Huntertown suppressor. Those are the only other .22 pistols I have with threaded barrels. It’s not a big deal, the suppressor makes the Makarov muzzle-heavy and with it’s shorter grip more ungainly to handle.

With the P4, Walther introduced the final improvements to the design, but by then nobody really wanted them anymore.
