UPS left about ten minutes ago and my Romanian Tokarev from Century is awesome!

The safety fricken sucks balls though....lol.

Good deal & yep that safety sucks A**

If I take the safety out, it just leaves a hole and does not affect operation, right?

I don't know why they had to put safeties on the Tokarevs. They already have them. Have you tried the 'half cock' safety test with a pencil?

Geez, Novus, I thought you already had a Tokarev. Congrats!

Haha how very clever

Novus nice gun man!
That's one of the first one's I'll be looking for when I get my C&R! Glad to see you're striving to keep to the unwritten "foot-in-picture" rule, and that I'm not the only one who went barefoot

The safeties were to meet the ATF interpretation of "sporting use" for handguns or something. There is a number list for features imports have to meet in order to fit the sporting use test as I unserstand it. For the Toks suddenly about 2004 or so the ATF said since they have a barrel shorter than blah blah blah, and since the sights are not adjustable target sights...or whatever....the gun could only be importable if it had a manual safety lever installed.

By the way, what is the pencil test? I only know of the pencil test for the CZ52 hammer release lever.

Geez, Novus, I thought you already had a Tokarev. Congrats!

Nah, but I needed one because of ammo prices at the least since my CZ52 hates most milsurp ammo and the S&B ammo is double what it was just a few years ago. I just now got around to getting one and I am damn glad I did.
The CZ52 hates hard military primers and has too many misfires, so the Tok would be for the cheap spam can of ammo I get and when the prices go down again for commercial ammo I will shoot the CZ52 again.
Thanks.

The only reason I did not get a CZ82 is because I already have one, but because I fear they may dissappear from the market before too long so they are definitely next on the list. It was a tough choice to pick the Tok over the CZ82 for about the same price, but I think I made the right one this time......I hope.
