FEG SMC-918
sorry to say but its not a true Russian as stated on the gun but a hungarian PA-63 sub model made in Russia
K.B.I., Inc,of Harrisburg, PA, began importing this small Hungarian-made pistol in mid-1993, but its history dates back to the late 1950s. At about the same time FEG began making the Model PA-63 (see listing below), it also developed a smaller PPK-sized 9mm Makarov caliber pistol, called the RK-59. An excellent little pistol, similar to Poland's Model vz.63, it is highly regarded in military circles, serving the Hungarian military and police forces.
FEG SMC-918
When K.B.I. observed the popularity of the SMC-380 in the U.S., it decided to import the 9mm Makarov version, the SMC-918. The Hungarians had made this model (with slight modifications) since the late 1950s, with importation beginning in late 1994.
Later models ( ij70 ibj-70 ij90 where made in Russia by Baikal IZH-Mash and imported for KBI ) these are hungarian licenced versions not Russian licenced versions .. ( what the differences are i dunno , i've made some horror monstors from various parts that worked ok )
due to the flood and variances and KBI's poor service history these dont bring a lot 4 sales at auction within the past year show between 200 and 300 dollars
funny but folks dont know its a hungarian cause of KBI's licence .. and parts are plentiful
but folks who go to KBI looking for parts and told they aint available complain online and so the rep is made , bad ...
but its a PA-63 and parts are a plentiful and that model can be fitted to take the adoptive .380 cal barrel and they too are not rare but the standard 9mm are and bring a top price, but real Ruski makarov parts rarely fit , but the hungarians do
