Due to its design, small dimensions and weight, the Makarov pistol is considered the ideal weapon for carrying, attacking and defending, as well as for firing at short distances.
Dismantling and assembly of PM: types when applied
Testing the ability to use a Makarov pistol, knowledge of its design and the purpose of all its constituent elements is carried out by conducting complete and incomplete disassembly of the weapon. These procedures are also carried out in some emergency cases when the gun needs to be cleaned.
Partial disassembly of the PM is carried out in the case when the gun needs to be cleaned, lubricated all parts, and also check its combat readiness.
Full disassembly is recommended only in cases where the gun turned out to be very dirty, if it fell into the rain or snow, fell into the water. The weapon mechanism exposed to such impacts urgently needs to be thoroughly cleaned and checked.
Complete disassembly of the PM is a procedure that is rarely used. This is due to the fact that it greatly reduces the resistance of the mechanism and its components to wear, which reduces the operational life of the weapon.
Complete dismantling of PM is also carried out when switching to a new weapons grease. It is also performed, if necessary, to repair the entire mechanism of the gun or its individual parts.
Recommendations
- Assembly / disassembly of the PM is carried out on a flat surface. This can be a table or bench, the surface of which must be covered with a clean oilcloth.
- When disassembling the PM, it is very important to ensure that the extracted mechanism and its spare parts are laid on the table surface in a certain order. It is recommended that they be placed in the sequence as they were removed, excluding their hits against each other. Work should be carried out very carefully and accurately, without excessive effort.
- If not one gun unit is assembled / disassembled, but several PM pistols, then in this case the spare parts and mechanisms must be numbered. This will facilitate assembly work, since the assembled parts cannot be mixed up.
Incomplete dismantling of PM
The procedure includes the following steps:
Removing the magazine from the handle.
The gun should be in the right hand, and with the left index finger to push the magazine latch to the limit. In this case, you need to pull the protruding part of the store cover.
Check the chamber for the presence of a cartridge in it.
It is made when the fuse is off. The shutter must be secured in the rear position using the shutter lag. This will make it possible to inspect the chamber. The shutter is released to its original place by pressing the shutter delay.
Separating the shutter from the frame.
The trigger guard is pulled down with a bias to the left with its further retention. The back of the shutter rises, and the shutter itself moves forward with the help of a return spring.
Removing the return spring.
She is screwed from the trunk by rotating on herself.
After incomplete disassembly of the PM will be performed, the assembly procedure is carried out in the reverse order.
On the complete disassembly of the Makarov pistol
The PM disassembly procedure consists of the following operations:
Separation of the whisper and slide delay from the frame.
It is made by simultaneously pressing the shank in the trigger and the trigger.
Removing from the slide stop the spring whispered.
It is carried out by means of a protrusion of rubbing. The sear and bolt delay rise up and separate from the frame.
Separation of the mainspring from the frame and handle from its base.
Using a wiper blade or shutter reflector, remove the screws and move the handle to the rear position. The mainspring is removed by pressing it to the base and removing its latches located on the handle. This will remove the mainspring located on the tide of the base.
Separation of the trigger from the frame.
To do this, you need to pull the trigger down to the limit forward, and the trigger is shifted towards the barrel. This will pull the trigger.
Separation from the trigger pull frame and cocking lever.
The trigger rod with its rear end rises up with the simultaneous withdrawal of its trunnion from the hole in the trigger.
Separation from the trigger frame.
To do this, remove the trunnions on the trigger from the special sockets that the frame contains. This is done by turning the hook shank forward.
Separation from the shutter fuse and hammer.
The safety flag after it is turned to the upper position is retracted from the socket to the side, which will allow it to be removed from the bolt socket.
Separating the ejector from the shutter.
Before operation, the ejector pressure must be recessed with a protrusion on the wipe. The ejector must be untwisted along the hook until it comes out of the groove.
Dismantling the pistol magazine.
It is made by depressing the feeder spring while removing the magazine cover, which is possible due to the protruding part. After this, the feeder spring is first sequentially removed, and then the feeder itself.
After the work on the complete disassembly has been completed, the Makarov pistol is assembled in the reverse order.
How is incomplete disassembly / assembly of a Makarov pistol evaluated?
You can pass the standard for disassembling the PM by completing two tasks with a special rating scale. A certain amount of time is allocated for their implementation:
- Incomplete disassembly of the PM for the rating “excellent” should be completed in 7 seconds. Time in excess of 10 sec. Indicates unsatisfactory possession of weapons and ignorance of its design.
- Assembling a Makarov pistol is carried out after completion of its incomplete disassembly. For a rating of “excellent”, this procedure should be completed in 9 seconds. Completing a quest in 10 sec. corresponds to a rating of "good." If the time spent on assembly exceeds 12 seconds, this indicates the presence of poor theoretical knowledge.
- The equipment of the store. The task is designed to charge eight rounds.
“Excellent” - the task was completed in 16 seconds.
“Good” - 17 sec.
“Satisfactory” - 20 sec.
