Available for the first time in over a decade, 1/2x28 threaded barrels for the Makarov!
They are chambered in 380 ACP, and fit all patterns, including commercial IJ-70s.
These are made from 41v50 steel. 1:10 twist, 6 groove rifling.

If your Makarov was originally 9x18, there are no additional parts required to convert to 380. Just this barrel!

These fit the following Makarovs:

• Russian, including commercial models and double stack
• Bulgarian
• Chinese
• East German

These do not fit:

• CZ-82, CZ-83
• P-64
• PA-63
• P84
• PM-63

The Makarov barrel is too thin to use a shoulder mount, these require a suppressor with a face indexing mount. Use of a shoulder mount will damage the barrel and void your warranty.

Due to the Makarov design having the barrel pass through a hole in the slide, it is not possible to make the barrel thick enough to use a shoulder mount. The best you can get is a false lock on a razor thin shoulder that will fail quickly. 
The barrel pin hole is no longer drilled due to them never lining up. The factory drilled the barrel pins fairly randomly in the frame. Once you press the barrel in, you can drill the hole 2.8mm and ream to 3mm for a perfect match.

I have some face mount pistons available here.

I just bought and tested one of the Trilug mounts from Sovereign Development and I'm glad to say they work with my barrels! 
He has several variants available, the correct options for the Makarov are: 1/2x28, caliber 9mm
