Mine was delivered yesterday - just opened it. It looked nice on the outside. The barrel and hammer assembly serial numbers don't match. Bore looks rough - may clean up. No serial number on the barrel bushing. I had a 1950 Polish Tokarev that had a partial serial on the barrel bushing, this is a 1952 example. The extra magazine was free in the box, but seems to have caused no damage. Putting it under the foam would have been nice - no chance of damage that way. I would be curious to see if others received all matching pistols.

There IS a solution. Did you know those free .223/5.56 range cases (like the ones scrounged today in the pic) could also be reformed into either 7.62x25 or 300 BLK cases?
Reloading is often a better option...

Hmmmm, I may have to look into reloading...

Thanks for the tip...that is GOOD advice...hadn't thought of it but you are right.
Here's the deal ... even if you don't reload now, you might in the future. And if you're sure that you won't ever reload, there are people like me who will pay you a fair amount of your cost of ammo just for the once-fired brass. (This only applies to the reloadable brass cases with Boxer primers ... such as PPU and Sellier and Beloit ... not the surplus stuff.)
BTW ... for those who do reload, Starline has some new 7.62x25 brass in stock at the moment. It usually doesn't last long.

Thanks again, you raise good points.
Do you make your own bullets, or buy them?

If it's the one I'm thinking of (Folk-Fan) that is a rare pre-war early TT-30 in uncommonly nice shape. The high bidder is an "NR" and has bids all over GB right now. Expect to see nice unrefurbished, non-import war-era Russkie TT33's in the 1-2k range nowadays. Post-war are expensive as hell now too, closing on 1k or more.

Seems on par for a early tt30

That's the one. How can you find out the other items on which a bidder is bidding?

Question: Is the pin holding the extractor in on these Tokarevs supposed to come out? I tried everything I could think of, short of high-explosives, but it wouldn't budge.

There's no real way to do it... he/she just happened to be bidding on stuff that I typically "monitor" - a LOT of stuff as it turns out. If I had the scratch I would jump on it - hard to find a TT30 in this condition. It'll be fun to watch it play out though.

There's a pretty nice Polish Tok at auction right now.

What does the "NR" mean after the bidders name?

yeah, it's like zero feedback on evilBay. Not all NR's are bad (we all started there) but seeing one pop up and bid on a ton of stuff totalling over $10k isn't always a good sign 
GB sucks in one aspect, that the seller has absolutely no way of contacting bidders. But a seller can block a bidder if something seems hinky (like somebody with a bad history of not paying). For a system that seems like it would be jam-packed with cheaters and scammers, GB is actually pretty civilized for the most part - at least in the C$R realm that I follow. There's always that one dude that messes it up for everybody though.
