I own a CZ82 which I prefer over the Russian Mak...feels great in my hand and shoots very well (shoots 9x18 mak just like the Russian Mak does). I bought it a few years back at the gun show in Concord NH for $125. I had my C&R with me so no background check was necessary. They are still available but you would probably have to order one and they are quite a bit more now (250ish to 300ish now, depending on condition). Collectible Arms in Merrimack NH might have a couple.
