Does anyone know of a good gunsmith in Ontario that can work on Tokarev Svt 40's?

I have a Tokarev that is jamming the first shell in the Chamber and it won't Cycle. Help - I need a good gunsmith in Ontario.
 
I'm not a smith but I own one and know them rather well....Parts are hard to find in Canada for them, and take a long time to get from the U.S.
It could be your gas cylinder and piston worn..Gas port pluged...

Russ...
 
No - it's not either of those Russ. I have to clean the chamber out with acetone to remove old lacquer build up from shooting Hungarian steel casings. Then if its not that, I'm going to be looking for a gunsmith.

Hungarian ammo is copper washed, not laquered. I'd bet it's your gas system that needs to be adjusted. There is no mechanical leverage to cycle this type of action by hand, it may feel like it's jammed in there after firing, but it if your gas sytem is functioning it will pop it out like nothing. Same thing happens when people fire the yugo sks with gas off, sometimes you have to jump on the op-handle to open the action.
Someone here will explain how to adjust it.
 
No Jerk here -"my svt was doing a similar thing. although you probably checked this but, the little numbers on the gas tube were not quite in the proper spot. this caused the problem of no gas and therefore no cycle."

I have the number (1.5) pointing up with the flat (surface the numbers are on) at 90 degrees to the barrel. Is this correct?
