I hope this is the correct place for this because I think it qualifies as Pistol Porn  This is my Baikal Makarov with the new barrel fitted  And a pic of the pistol with the slide on  And now with a Peace Pipe fitted  I have got a smaller diameter mod on order with a maker on the AGF and once I have that fitted I will post a photo of that. Thanks for looking |

It looks good, very cold war KGB assassination type of thing, lol.
Although you 'could' class this as pistol porn, I think it's better suited to the 'Auto' section, I'll move it there now.

The only reason I moved it was if a fellow member was looking for information on a barrel swap for the Mak they'd be more likely to look in the Auto section than the Pistol Porn section. |

The new, smaller diameter mod arrived this morning. It is 24mm diameter x 150mm long, the smaller diameter means that I can acquire a better sight picture by being able to see the front sight through the rear sight and pick up my POA much better. A couple of photos of the pistol and mod:   |

That's a really great upgrade mate nice work.
How much work is involved with the barrel swap and is it reversible to go back to the original? Also, any links for where you purchased the barrel from?

Hi Buddy, The modification is for Baikal Makarov's. It seemed like a good idea to use a cable tie around the top of the beech block and under the frame through the trigger guard because the breech block section is under spring pressure from the frame (check the pics at the end). The original barrel is screwed into the breech block pretty tight but came undone fairly easily with the use of a bench vice and something wrapped around the barrel to protect it. Once removed I gave the breech a bit of a clean and cleaned the threads on the new barrel and screwed it in giving it a final pinch up in the vice, just a reversal of removing the original. The little plastic seal in the breech section had to come out because the new barrel screws through leaving no space (check the pics for the breech area also). During my second shooting session I missed the target in the pellet catcher and punched a neat bb sized hole in the inside glass pane of the spare room double glazed window  The swap is reversible, just keep the hold of the old barrel and the little plastic seal from the breech block. Some pics showing where to put the cable tie (obviously remove the cable tie prior to reassembling the pistol  )     This is the link for the barrel: eBay |
