Ah Yes, the ####... Mine's 1915 manufacture and has about 90% of the blueing intact. The holster is repro, everything else all matching and original.

Have a question... Since it's such a similar round and with 7.62x25 so cheap does anyone think it would be a good idea buy a bargin bin Tokarev, shoot a sh*tload of rounds with that, and then reload the spent brass with an appropriate pressure for the C96?

What would be the pros & cons of that approach? (I don't currently reload so this is entirely hypothetical at the moment, trying to find options...)

The cheap Tok ammo is:

1. Steel cased
2. Corrosive
3. Berdan Primed
