Guess?
I have posted a few times in this forum and I have kicked the proverbial can a couple of times, but I finally took the plunge and bought a Tokarev TT33 from Frontier. I am a sucker for Russian kit, as I own a Mosin Nagant 90/31, a Russian SKS, and my pride and joy, a 2007 Ural Patrol motorcycle.

I am not trying to promote Frontier, but the TT33 is the third firearm I have purchased from them, the first being my M14, and the second being my 858. I called today to ask them something, and when I mentioned my last name, which is somewhat unique, they knew my name!!! I love these guys!!

Anyway, I am really excited about getting my TT33, and I hope to start using the 1000rds I bought to go with her!! :D

No only mistake you made was ONLY a 1000 rds! I did that...followed by the big box;2280 rds. And Frontier has been good to me as well. I'm wishing I'd have picked up a TT-33, I went with Norinco's M-201, better grip...but the finish is ...sharp? Needs lots of handling to round off the sharp edges.
 
i made the mistake of going with the norinco M-213
i wish i had got a real tt33
but since it was my first pistol, i wanted to go with a more common calibre....
 
Frontier are great to deal with I bought a shotgun, scope and a handgun there...they even helped me get the gun on my Bday! :D which I ordered kinda late...
 
I've owned the Nork and currently own an Origional Tt33. The Russian is superior in every way. My Nork wore the slide where it cocks the hammer. I guess that part of the slide was not hardened properly. I fixed it a few times with a file but it would just dish out again after a few hundred rounds. My tt is more accurate and better quality, I put some Yugoslavian style grips that cover the back strap and a houge handall to make it handle better.
Hope you have as much fun with your Tt as I do with mine.

use a pair of sidecutters to test the ammo bullet. You can cut a lead core bullet. if it is steel core, it can ding a steel backstop.

Oh Oh. Now you tell me! Are steel core considered "armor piercing"?

Anyone know what Frontier is peddling?

I took the plunge as well, pistol from T.E.C, ammo from Frontier. Where does one obtain Yugoslavian style grips? Can you post a pic?


Thanks.

Pm me your email addy and I'll send a couple. I got the grips from Lever Arms in Vancouver but they sold out quite a while ago. I had to take off the laniard ring from the frame with a dremel toll to fit them but they give the gun a much better angle and feel.

I took your advice and got lucky...They had not shipped the ammo yet and I bought the 2280 instead of the 1000rds.
 
I just bought one too:D can't wait till I get it

I kicked myself last time frontier had them and I didn't grab one.

I was wondering if anyone knows, do they come packed in cosmoline?

SFRC lists 7.62X25 in stock. Keep an eye on Frontier, maybe it's an accounting or website glitch and not a stock issue.

Not anymore! I just bought the last two 480 round batches of it. Now I just have to get a Tt-33 from tradex and I'll have my first restricted. :D
