Reading this link, the poster on that thread stated that FEG imported the Romanian Carpati, and sold a bunch into East Germany at some point. Now, to add to the confusion, you describe yours as having a heel release for the magazine the Carpati does, but I haven't found a FEG model that does.Ĭan you post a couple of pictures of your gun, with the slide on, and with it off? I came across some youtube posting calling something a FEG Md74, but the picture is clearly a Carpati Notice the frame, it has a bulgelike appearance around the grip.

If it functions, fine, but I'd want to find the correct slide.Įdited to add: I see that the gun isn't functioning! Ok, then my diagnosis is simple: you have the wrong slide. It's interesting that the 2 would interchange, but not entirely surprising we're talking very similar designs that both copied the Walther. What this sounds like, just my own opinion, is that you have a FEG pistol with a Carpati slide. I remember looking at them years ago, when I was digging into Com Bloc pistols, as the Romanians had Tokerovs, but they didn't jump to the Makarov (Carpati didn't make a 9x18, I think they did make a. It's a blowback pistol, same as the Walther PP and PPK (and the various Hungarian FEGs). What I'm finding, a Md 74 is a Romanian gun, made by Carpati, which is chambered in 7.65. I did a little looking into the gun you're describing, and it seems to be an odd bird. If you find one keep it, its going to continue to last another century and still work just as well. Oh and btw these fine pistols are currently reselling for $850 to $1,000.00 if you just have the pistol in good condition. There are heavy loads available via Bufflalo ammo or just your usual 7.65mm or. Has been tough finding a well-fitting holster and more correct fitting clips but I'm certain I will. You can always increase the round clips by one in the chamber and with it's build in safeties it wont accidentally fire concealed or in your bag or holster it can't.

But it will shoot through FMJ, HP, plain lead rounds fine. Field maintainance and even a bench takedown require you to have with a Youtube video or an experienced person familar with how it fits together. It's of the first batch run with a serial number stamped in the 6,000s and aside from a little wear it operates without any problems. Sure, 25 feet isn't much but this has been this accurate since my grandfather was first issued it back close to 1925. I disagree why? Cause rounds well placed, meaning practice alot, can effect powerful results. Many ppl who dont and afew who Ive run into that either had owned it feel it is too small a round to do much.
