What can you get for 50 bucks?

For $50.00 you can get a FEG AP66 7 shot 32 auto. These are the same as the popular PA63 pistols.

I picked up this pair of old worn AP66 pistols from a friend the other day. He had purchased a case of the pistols and these little guys were all that was left. Each of the pistols exhibited holster ware on the slide and frame and did not look very good.


I blasted the frame (Alumium) and the slide down to bare metal and applied a coating of Guncoat.

Looks much better. I still need to paint the grips and possibly the one slide that I left in the blue.

Hows the trigger slap? I had a couple 63's and they would really slap back hard.

For $50. bucks I would have bought all of them.
Great for CC.

Lead,


Several years ago I picked up my first little PA63 at a gunshow. That little beast was in the 9x18mm MAKAROV and came with a brushed frame.

The trigger on DA sucks real bad. The pistol breaks at around 18lbs. Once in battery the trigger is good.

The PA63 can kick back hard on the swell of the hand. I add some grip tape to the pistols to aid in control and have found it helps. You do have to watch not allowing your hand to ride high on the frame or ya will loose a piece of meat as the slide goes back...LOL

The little 32 ACP round does not kick as hard and is much easier on the hands.

All and all they are cheap and fun to shoot. I purchased the last two in the shop which were not easy on the eye. The pistols also did not come with the mags. Lucky me, I had grabbed extra mags some years ago.. Funny most people don't look past the finish and think the firearm will shoot like it looks....
