  I just purchased a Bulgarian Makarov. It is missing the grip screw. I have the red checkered grips with the star. I see on Gun Parts several grip screws are listed can anyone tell me which one I need ?

  Here's a good thread from packing.org, concerning Makarovs.
  
  http://www.packing.org/talk/thread.jsp?talk_thread=17193
  
  They are generally very popular because their good value for the money, and quite reliable, because they were originally designed as a Russian Military Handgun. ( Over Engineered ).
  
  The cartridge they were originally designed for 9mm Makarov, AKA, 9 x 18, is not the same and not interchangeable with the more common 9mm Luger, AKA 9 x 19.

  There are 2 9x18 catridges. The 9mm Makarov which fits the Makarov pistol, uses a .364" diameter bullet. There is also a 9x18 Ultra that uses a .355" diameter bullet. Walther use to chamber a pistol in 9mm Ultra.
