Tokarev

willtill · Dec 2, 2008

Just got the Tokarev last night, courtesy of UPS next day air. :thumbsup:

And just wouldn't you know, as I was sitting here cleaning the cosmolene from it, there was a knock at the door.

All I saw was the UPS guy's back as he was walking back to his truck....

... and there was a nice crate of 7.62x25mm Bulgarian ammunition sitting on my doorstep. 1600 rounds :clap:

Just opened and checked the spam cans. Ammo looks good:

Don't you think that the last photo would look good as a desktop background for your computer? :lol:

What a GREAT country we still live in :party29:

Kindest regards,

Nice. Where did you get it from? How is the finish? My Polish Tok looked great after I cleaned and scrubbed it down with eezox.

I think I want a cz82 now

Darn...don'tcha just hate when that happens?

Nice Tok, where'd you order it from?

FIREHAWK · Dec 2, 2008

nice! looks just like the one i got last week for SOG. it was a blast to shoot last saturday. i need some better grips if there available.
i used spraynine and hot water to get the cosmo out of the mags :thumbsup:

cz-82 is next on c&r list :innocent0

I ordered it from www.classicarms.us for 219.00. Got the ammo from him too. I've ordered several C&R rifles and hanguns from him; he's always pleased me with what he sends.

The finish on it is good. Not new, but no scratches, chips or dings.

I've previously ordered two CZ82's from him. The second one I ordered; they hand bead blasted it and put a type of light parkerized finish on it. really is nice. I equipped both of them with new hardwood grips from that guy "marschall" in the Czech republic.

Kindest regards,

Always a challenge when B-day's are right around Christmas time - everyone usually 'combines' surprises. Been there, live with that. But you're on the right track: Get it for yourself! :party29:

(Although your C&R may not be back quick enough :sad20:

- maybe next year)

Been debating on getting one already have a CZ-52.

MafiaConnected · Dec 2, 2008

Nice! Cant wait to get mine. Actually, cant wait to get my C&R license so I too can have the big brown truck deliver my goodies to my front door!!!

Careful with that Bulgarian .30 Tok. ammo. I have read (not personally experienced) some reports of split casings using that stuff. This will not blow up or anything but can cause a nasty jam or two. I have used the Romanian surplus with a fair amount of success, just a few FTF. Not sure if this is due to ammo, magazine or weak spring.

I've been looking for a Tok EVERYWHERE! Glad to see they're only $219 at Classic Arms. I think I may have sent my FFL there... I'll have to call.

Yes, I read the same about the Bulgarian ammo as well. And mine has the "53" headstamp too; the problem lot. The casing rupturing only occur seemingly around the dimple that holds the bullet in the shell. Nothing that overly concerns me. I pulled one round and the powder and interior of the case looks fine.

Now, I have some old 8mm x 56r Steyr ammunition that I occasionally get case ruptures from. Like a small firecracker spitting in your face when that happens. Lot's of fun.

I always wear safety glasses when shooting my Steyr Mannlichers and that stuff

Kindest regards,

Southern ohio gun has them for $219.95 also

2 questions.

A: How much does Classic Arms charge for shipping?

B: Will Cresap let you fire the 7.62x25mm rounds? They say no "bottle-neck" pistol rounds are allowed. So I assume you can't shoot .357 SIG there either?

Thanks for the reminders. Will do. If it's a no-go I might not get it, since Cresap is the only place I shoot now. But I've always wanted a TT-33.........

Here's the headstamp of the ammo you DON'T want use in any handgun. It was made for the PPSH submachine gun and is far too hot for handguns.

They charged me $29 to ship my CZ82. Sent USPS

smores · Dec 4, 2008

Do they really sound like this?

If so I will be calling Classic Arms immediately.
