I was at the Salem gun show yesterday and I couldn't resist the price and looks of my newest acquisition. It's a FEB Hungarian PA-63. The gun was labeled as fabricated by FEG, but the slide says FEB. I also notice references to it as FEG on the web. Does anyone here have any experience with this gun? I don't know when I'll have time to go to the range and try her out. It looks like a Walther PP and is probably a good shooter if the design is true to it's original.
The gun was labeled as new but in the box was a large tag that said it was used. Does anyone know why? Is it because it was in service in Hungary but new to this country?
When I got the gun, the magazines would not eject easily. I solved the problem by disassembling the mags and taking some tension off of a curved piece of metal that protruded from the left side of the magazine follower. I pushed on it to straighten it a bit with the supplied steel cleaning rod. Which is all that tool will ever be used for.
Anyhow, please post the good and the bad about my newest toy, I'll be gald to hear either way, It only cost $159.49 OTD. Below are some pix.
