Anybody here rechambered their Tok from 7.62x25 to to 9x23?

I'm exploring it myself and wondering if anyone else has made a go of it. See what "Clark" say in this posting:

Ream out a 9mm barrel and it's pretty much a go. The Tokarev is strong and will accomodate the length of the 9x23 (or 38 Super if you prefer). I know "Clark" and his reputation and do not recommend, nor intend to follow his testing of the strength of the Tok with proof loads. Normal 9x23 loads for me.

The Nork 9mm barrels are cromed, not sure if this poses any reaming problems?

Yea, I'll have to use carbide.

25/64" reamer to lengthen the chamber 4mm, 23/64" twist drill to lengthen the throat until my largest bullet of choice drops in the chamber at a OAL of 1.36".
