Mine should be arriving today. I did some googling on it yesterday. To my disappointment, I only just realised that it's a non-blowback! A massive face-palm moment! Oh well, it is considered a kind of "must have" for air guns collector (at least that is what I will be telling myself!). Also found this page detailing the history of MP-654K which some of you might find interesting... History of MP-654K |

It's the 658K that's blowback, but by all accounts the original 654 is the better gun. The 658 has a funny little stick mag and it's a right faf to take the grips off when replacing the CO2. If you need any parts for your 654 rusmilitary is the place. www.rusmilitary.com/html/airgun_mp654K.htm |

658 is probably the same as the Umarex version. That is available for £70 from the same seller. Nah, I want the "real" deal. 😂

But the best blowback version is the Gletcher PM51 with full size drop out magazine and blowback. I have had a few of these real Baikal Maks over the years and they are lovely to hold and strip and feel. But they shoot shite. |

No blowback but you can still pull back the top slide and engage the lock back mechanism. The spring on these is really powerful  |

The blowback version (658K) is horrible in my opinion, finish of the frame is dreadful, and it’s a stick mag as has been said. And you have to unscrew the whole grip to put in a Co2 capsule. You have dodged a bullet not getting one to my mind. Mine went straight back to the dealer.

It is £70 but I think I need one of these proper ones. |

I'll be honest, there's pretty much nothing I'd like to get my foreskin trapped in.

So share! 🤣 Nah, not even considered the stick mag version. It is £70 but I think I need one of these proper ones. Well. one day I was sitting naked in the garden having a Guinness and had just put the Makarov together again after stripping for cleaning. I was just cocking it back for a function test when next doors Rottweiler ran in to the garden, took one look at my sausage and barked at me while drooling. I jumped up and hid my dangly bits from said dog not realizing I had my Makarov in my hands and I accidently thumbed the slide lock down and the slide sprung forward with such a force and trapped my foreskin in the ejection port. The next thing I was waking up in accident and emergency.    And if you believe all that your even dafter than me.  |
