Just Got My Russian Tokarev 7.62x25.

I have two Tokarev TT33 1945 (with 6 magazines), from the Izhevsk arsenal, the first one did shoot many rounds before me, however, the second one did not shoot many rounds, almost nothing compare to the other one, there was no scratch inside the rail of the slide....now it has some... :)

you will found that those Tok are kind of ''apart'' gun from other guns, you will probably (like me and others fans of Tok) falls in love the way it shoots, the sound and the recoil brings fun to the shooting, amazing gun.

Take it apart before any shooting, you can also remove the trigger easily (pull it back inside the frame), go yutube if you don't have experience with it, good videos...put all the piece into oil and remove all the grease....(maybe you don't need those advise...anyway..)

when the gun is hot, it have the tendancy to jam here and there, don't be afraid, it's the way of the tokarev (my first one is like that, once hot..it jams...but my other one is ok), and for dekoking the hammer, you have no choice to pull the trigger empty (I know, never do that with a gun....well, with the Tok...no choice, you won't damage the firing pin, solid metal) if you decok the hammer by hands, it won't do nothing else after that and you will have to crank the hammer and than pull the trigger to shoot it....

Q.: what year do you have ? real Tokarev TT33 were made up to early 1946, after that it might be a M57 , or a chinese clone (which you don't want)...

it might be from either Izhevsk or Tula aresnal,

do you have the refurbish mark ? a small square with a diagonal line inside, something it's only two line with a diagonal line between....

1947 wooden handle. Triangle inside a circle mark near the date mark on the left side.
 
Was mistaken, the production ended in 1954, but rare to find after 1946, it have the triangle from Izhevsk, as long as there is no chinese mark or other than russian and it do not have any safety added.
 
mine is a 53. love it i do have ammo issues where the primer is struck but the round does not go down range. besides that its fun accurate and a hoot to shoot.
 
All i've seen is surplus ammo can you get new brass cased ammo for it. I bought one last weekend, it came with the holster (like new) cleaning rod, and two clips. It has the star and cccp on the grips. Looks in good shape, I haven't fired it yet.
 
There is new factory ammo you can get for it. $20-22/box though. Surplus contains steel, therefore have to be careful where you shoot it. Here's mine in action (shooting into an earthen backstop). It was fun, but after a while the crude sights and bad trigger caused me to let it go to another home.

Not sure how paper would be flying from the muzzle, but you believe what you like. Surplus ammo with steel causes sparks. It's common knowledge.

Can the sights be changed, and where can I get the factory ammo at?

Are you serious ? changing the sights on a Tokarev....lolll, better look at another gun, I would never invest on sights on a gun worth $160 :eek:)

Ammo : your local dealer should be able to provide you with russian ammo crate...

I got lots of guns bro, but after hearing how sweet a shooter the 33 is, why not mod it? And I'm looking for brass not steel.

Well ok, than :
1- you need to find one good Tok, reliable enough to do it
2- front sight is weld on the slide
3- rear sight is insert in a left-right groove , very stiff to move
4- anything can be made by a good gunsmith
5- i would defitively like to see the result
6- 
 
Corrosive or non-corrosive FMJ. That's all I know of. You probably need the new factory ammo as it doesn't contain steel. If you think it's too expensive to feed, the TT33 might not be for you.
