Love my Tokarev!

[54rndball]

I just got my Romanian TTC today from Widener's. It's beautiful and I love it, even if I have not had time to clean it yet. This is my second C&R, the first is a CZ 82. Maybe need another 82!

Looking sharp!!!

Very nice. Now you need 2 or 3 more Toks to keep it company. Then you could add a few CZ-52's since they eat the same food.

You are sooooo helpful!

instead of another CZ82, get a E German Makarov or a Soviet Military Makarov. excellent guns

He's absolutely right about them being excellent guns (and also great investments, if you get them VG condition, or better), but you may have to wait awhile afterward for your piggy bank to replenish itself.

My Uncle had a soviet Makarov, in box, with holster. He bought it in the early 80s and he never fired it. That Mak was gorgeous, not a mark on it, 2 mags, cleaning kit....I remember him showing them to me when I was in High School. WISH I had it now.

Unfortunately He sold that and a nickel 2" python for next to nothing in the late 90s before I could get a hand on them. I did manage to save his 1980 (I think) Norinco SKS. Wish I could have saved them all.

I'm glad you decided to get one. It looks like it's in great shape like I had told you they were. Now you just need to find some reasonably priced ammo.

One of the magazines is defective. It will lock up the slide and the safety completely. A "made in Taiwan" magazine is good. I will have to get another from Widener's. The gun cleaned up real nice, although the bore was fairly dirty. It came with a nice manual from the importer with instructions for field stripping and reassembly.

that can happen with excess wear at the top of the magazine.

I was kind of surprised the Taiwanese mag worked fine. I ordered two extra mags from Wideners. A couple of minutes in a 170 degree oven helped with removal of the gobs of Cosomoline. One mag was hard to put in after 3/4s of the way. It didn't release easily either. I took off the grip panels and observed that the top left of the magazine was not clearing the left trigger bar well. A little push in on the magazine corrected the problem.

I recently bought 6 extra new mags....just because.
