Are there any .380 barrels available for the PA-63? I know fed-ord used to have them for the Makarov.

    FAC of America used to sell them, but they are out of business. I cant remember the civilian version of the PA63 sold by KBI, but it would have the same 380 barrel you are looking for.

    For information on the various configurations and for parts and barrels in .380ACP, check out makarov.com.
    Personally, I can't understand why you'd want to convert to .380? The 9x18mm MAK rounds are less expensive and a tad more powerful. Many US ammo manufacturers are now making 9mmMAK ammo, including Hornady. The PA-63 is a fine handgun and very accurate in 9mm MAK.

    I didn't see any PA-63 barrels there, I already have a IJ-70 in 9 x 18, with a .380, ammo is still easier to find.
