kwausa. com as a cheap source of some Tokarev parts?

[serg777]

Awhile ago I was into airguns and perfectly know many of them may share some parts of a real gun they replicate. In some cases it just a conversion of a real gun including frame (of course deactivated).
Here comes a Web site which sells replica airguns and parts. Kwausa. I wonder if some tt33 parts have been stripped off a real thing. Particularly slide stop retain clip is very rare to find and it costs a lot. From kwausa it is just 5 bucks. I would buy a few. They do ship to Canada. Any thoughts?

Just because they are made of "metal" and look like they fit doesn't mean they are real, or actual tt-33 parts.

If you're risking $5 bucks, that's one thing. If these are made of floppy stamped metal and your pistol fails, that's another. Far worse, if you start selling these floppy stamped bits as gun parts here.

I would suggest that if you told them you're planning to use their airsoft parts in a real TT-33, any sane person would refuse to deal with you at that point.

There was a Baikal Makarov BB pistol which supposedly used "real pistols" as the source. I owned one, and, while it's possible it was made from the real thing, not one spring or part was anywhere near the quality of an actual Baikal Makarov piece. Not even the trigger spring. It did work like the real pistol, it was dimensionally identical, and it was even made by the same people. It was eventually banned from import in the USA because of the rumors it was made from a real Makarov, but not one person anywhere "converted" an airgun frame back to the real thing. I would not use any part off that pistol on the real thing. Real mags did fit and functioned to lock the slide back, but the slide lock lever was softer metal than the real Makarov pistol slide lock lever. It might have worked, for a while...

The real parts cost more because they're REAL. Please don't put airsoft parts on a real pistol. The TT-33 pistol is cheaper than most Airsoft guns! Very few pistols have cheaper (to buy) parts than the TT-33.

There are some real tt33 and makarov conversions were made for russian market, however the ammo they use is flobert type. Which is not really air, but rubber bby sunk in the case with primer at the base of cartridge. The velocities of the rubber bby would make it as good as non lethal self defence round that can incapacitate the assailant. These pistols were made with real donor units and used real parts, however I'm not sure whether any of them made it here or to U.S.. Besides here they would probably be considered as a firearm.

If you need any real tok parts please let me know, as I have some for sale on ee

Thank you for the info. Though I don't see any big selection of parts you posted.

Recoil spring, slide stop clip, disconnector is what I would buy. Please, let me know

i bought alot of airsoft parts to put on REAL guns in the past.
alot of stuff like optic and bracket are the exact same thing as sold 15time the price elsewhere.
you got to try to know.

of course you must not try any sensible part like barrel and like, but anything not dangerous is good.
must be idiot not to try save hundred of dollars on a little part.
