FÉG PA-63 Army Pistol (Pisztoly 63 Minta - PA 63M)

Feg Pa 63 Serial Number Lookup Now having said the above, My understanding is this model pistol was produced from 1963 on, hence the model name PA-63. I've read varying accounts of these being made from the late 1950's through the 1990's. Doerr lr22132 diagram. Problems related to the durability of the aluminum frame were resolved prior to the development of the PA-63 in 1961 with the production of the FEG R-61 Police Pistol. The addition of 0.1% titanium to the aluminum alloy solved premature alloy frame wear problems inherent in the earlier FEG. On the other hand, if someone else has a PA-63 with more than 4 digits in its s/n, then the number of pistols per block and series is simply increased. Some arms manufacturers will 'fill-out' low numbers with leading 0s to fit the number of digits per s/n (ie, '0001' is the first s/n), while others will just start with '1' and go until the.

Upon the success of the light weight R-61 Police Pistol the Hungarian People's Army requested a new aluminum alloy framed 9x18mm Makarov chambered pistol to replace their 48.M (Tokarev TT-33) Army Pistols. They also asked for and received a 7-round magazine and a longer, 100mm barrel.

Design improvements of the Walther PPK by FÉG enginers.

The PA-63 was the official Hungarian Army sidearm from 1963 until 1996, chambered for the 9x18mm Makarov cartridge. It was manufactured with a bright-finish Titanium-Aluminium alloy frame (later with blued frame), and a steel slide. Early grips had no thumbrest. Some police and commercial pistols have two-tone finish.
This pistol was replaced by the 9x19mm FÉG P9RC as the Hungarian Army's '96.M' service pistol in 1996.

Typical PA-63 markings are on the left side of the frame, between the trigger and the grip panel. The serial numbers are usually 2 letters and 4 numbers. The circled 'M' and the heart-shape circled 'I' are inspection marks. The small Hungarian crest with the 2-digit date are the acceptance marks. The '7's are a bit weird often look like '1's. Acceptance dates as early as 1947 have been observed on the PA-63's, obviously a few older guns were rebuilt into PA-63's. Note to the collectors: Pistols with dates over 50 years old qualify for C&R (Curio & Relic) FFL.
