Good times...

Weight is just under 80lbs


Sportsman's Guide 1,260 rds. Romanian Milsurp 7.62x25 $119.97 + $15.50 for S&H -If you know of a better deal, let us know. This is a little better than 10 cents a shot. I'm going to report any bad ammo by lot number but the fact is, I just don't have any trouble with it, no burnouts or hard caps, I -have- felt hot and cold loads before, but I don't think that effects accuracy at pistol range. Good times. The current lot I am working on came in a galvanized steal can. the boxy type with extremely heavy flows of solder.
The box was not colored OD and it did not have rounded corners.

My guess is they were made in 85, but I have shot plenty of this stuff that I know was made in the 50's and no problems.

Tokarev TTC discussion

The Tokarev is pretty much a relic of the cold war, but for all the right reasons, the Tokarev and it's many variants are becoming a pretty hot item.

The price is right, these weapons were very heavily manufactured by armories all over Europe and Asia they've been used in just about every conflict since WWII.

So let's assume you have a Tokarev and have read all the articles on Wikipedia, seen the PDF put out by Century Arms and you want to discuss an issue that you've never mentioned anywhere else. This would be a good place, I have found a few other folks who are always eager to share info and have a pretty good knowledge based on personal experience.

If you have anything to ask or contribute this is the place. For now, discussion will primarily be about the TTC Romanian in 7.62x25

A good place to start off is with the safety switch! The one that was added to make the Tokarev exportable to the U.S.

 You will probably want to leave the Safety -IN- when you field strip your TTC -if you take it out, make sure you keep track of the little "location" insert pin.
