It is hard to say which components of the Makarov pistol are most essential. But I can say with some certainty that the Makarov magazine is fairly important. And just as important as the magazine itself is the Makarov magazine follower.

Located within the body of the Makarov magazine, the Makarov magazine follower is a small, spring-loaded steel piece designed to push cartridges into the feeding position. Poor followers can result in reliability and feeding issues. As such, it is important to use original Makarov followers, such as the Makarov magazine follower offered here today.  

The Makarov magazine follower, like all of our spare and replacement parts for the Makarov, are unused parts that were obtained from a spare parts inventory in Germany. All spare and replacement parts for the Makarov sold by Keepshooting.com are interchangeable in all Makarov pistols. These parts are not compatible with the Polish P-64 or the Hungarian PA-63.

Spare and replacement parts are an important consideration when it comes to firearms. Like any machine, firearms rely on a series of parts to function properly, especially all components that impact the firing sequence. In general, if a part breaks or fails, a repair or replacement becomes immediately necessary – not only to keep a firearm functioning properly but also to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.

It is also important to consider availability when discussing spare and replacement parts. At this time, Keepshooting.com is seeking to provide our customers with a wide selection of spare and replacement parts for the Makarov. Several brand new parts are now readily available on our website at an affordable price.
