I just order one from SOG to match my Yugo.

Cool, I hink you'll like the safety better on the Romey. I remember the safety on the yugo you have was really stiff.

I ordered a Romanian Tokarev from SOG and it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow 3/25/11. I'm like a kid at Christmas. SOG does charge a fee for cc use. I also ordered a Yugo M57 from Widener's even though they told me they don't ship handguns to MD. They charged my cc and the order status says processing. I'll post pictures when they arrive.

Widener's recommends a complete disassemble and cleaning on the M57 due to it being packed with cosmoline.

Does anyone know where I can get good surplus 7.62x25 ammo? I don't want the stuff where the cases split. Thanks.

Now I need a TT33. Damn this C&R!

My status stills shows processing and it was delivered 3 weeks ago. Don't expect an update from them after shipping.

I emailed Widener's about my order and they responded saying that it should ship tomorrow 3/25/11. God I can't stand the wait!

Ya dude I remember you were the first one to make it work I thought it was broken and did not want to mess up the gun. I was thinking about you a couple days ago we really need to sit some time down to build a AK or PPSH and go to the grove. I have about another month of school then I will get a break maybe if your schedule allows it we can get together then.

Got my Yugo from SOG last night (had to pick up at UPS. they suck)
Just finished cleaning everything after a 24hr soak in denatured alcohol. It looks good on the outside. The "safety" is an obvious afterthought. [this may need removed and welded shut] The barrel is, well, crappy. I pulled one set of blue patches out of it, and will see how the second cleaning does. It is not dark, but it is not smooth by any means. I may have to order a new barrel, and just keep this one in a box somewhere.

My SOG Romanian Tokarev will be delivered tomorrow 3/25/11. I got an update from Widener's, my Yugo M57 shipped today. According to them their M57 handguns are in excellent condition although they are packed with cosmoline. I sure hope so. I hope the Romanian Tokarev is in good condition. I'll post pictures and details.

"packed in cosmo" is an understatement. mine was "caked" or something lol :cool:

falconguy · Mar 25, 2011

What would be good at dissolving the cosmo? I don't want to take the finish off in the process. I have a can of acetone, will that work?

Man I feel like I have ants in my pants. I can't stand the waiting when I know a delivery is on the way.

i used mineral spirits and that took it right off. melted it like, i dunno, something that melts something else lol!

just remember to proptly oil the gun. the mineral spirits strips the gun of ALL oils and the Yugo steel rusts up pretty quick.

falconguy · Mar 25, 2011

Thanks for the tip. :thumbsup:

I have plenty of gun oil on hand.

A regular person who writes real well with words you are. :lol:

Thanks for the tip. I used boiling water last time and it worked, just felt a little wrong.

Range report.
Put 200 rounds of 50's surplus [from Cope's] through it at On Target this morning.
Only one FTE. groups were 3" at 25 ft. Good enough.
I'll put the effort into some finish work, as it is worth saving. The blue is just about gone. I'm not going to pay for a pro to hot blue. I'll either cold blue or dura coat.

Thats what I did with my toks, I sat them in a big bucket outside and boiled a pot of water and took it out back and dumped it into the bucket and oiled em and put them back together. Took about 20 minutes and I could use one of my cooking pots because I was dumping it into an old bucket outside so I wasnt placing the gun in something I eat out of and Im really not concerned about putting tok's in water because they are so simple that you can easily strip them to every last part with few tools and put em back together.

You need to flush the barrel soon like now, I have shot this same Polish surplus and it is very corrosive.

I use lemon ammonia. Cheap and easy. And smells good. Kind of what I used to look for in a girlfriend.
