Hey.
i was thinking about buying a shotgun for some time and then i looked at the price for the ammo and thought that i wasnt realy gonna shoot it often so i decided to go with a pistol.

now im thinking about going with a Norinco Tokarev in 7.62x25.
Does anyone have any feedbacks on it? range reports?
i "searched" it buts its a real bummer and old threads. I dont want to bump old threads. thanks.

-Pistol ---> $179.99 (at marstar)
-Ammo---> $~250.00 for ~2200 rounds (at marstar)

pretty cheap to shoot and cheap to buy.
 
The toks are great guns for the money.I would spend a little more and try to find a russian or a hungarian tok.Nothing wrong with the norcs but there not as nice.Ammo is cheap so buy lots.Accuracy is in the beholder.I got some pretty good groups at 15 and 20 yrds with mine but some cant hit the broad side of a barn.
 
i found a few threads but the pictures werent working they had litle red X's

could i see your grouping please?
 
My Norkarev (I like that, may I borrow it!) arrived yesterday afternoon (bought on the E.E.), and the Marstar ammo showed up less than 2 hours later! Great timing or what!
By the weekend I intend to have "a few" rounds downrange :dancingbanana:... I'll try to post pics of groups. :D
 
I have a Norinco tok in 7.62x25. No stoppages experienced and the groupings are about six inches at 25 yards from the prone.
Buy a case of ammunition vecause you will want to shoot this pistol a lot as it is so much fun. Recoil is mild but noise level is quite high.
A very reliable pistol.
 
I have a Soviet TT33 and its a great gun, very reliable and I love the 7,62x25 round. My only slight problem with it is that it's very thin and as a result I have a hard time getting a comfortable grip on it with both hands.
 
I've read somewhere that accoring to Norinco, service life of the Tokarev is only 3000 rounds. Any Norinco Tok owner shot more than 3K thu the gun w/o any problems?

I've never shot a 7.62x25, what's the recoil like esp. compared to 9mm? I'm guessing 'snappier'?

I really enjoy my Norkarev. Still making my way through the 7.62 ammo...doesn't have a great trigger, but it's strong as hell and I doubt that anything would happen in 3,000 rounds...or 6,000 rounds...or probably quite a bit beyond that. Get it from Marstar so that if by chance you get a lemon, you're covered. You may want to consider a 9mm barrel with it for variety. Also, Marstar sells the "authentic" Norkarev with no annoying add-on safety!
 
Tokarev life span only 3000 Rounds not true

Years gone by I bought 10 000 rounds of the above ammo from former Century International.Inc. at close-out price.
I have a thousand or so left, the rest was fired trough 2 Chinese made
TT33 copies over the last 8 years, and just for the fun of it.
Only a few misfires though ,primer related, but the guns are still looking the
same with no apparent wear and are extremely reliable.
Best group at 10 meters freehand about 3-4" but only after first getting
used to the rather stiff military trigger.
Put a trigger shoe on it (set-screws) and you really can do very well and
enjoy it at the same time. Hogue rubber slip-on grips is a bonus!
It is small and light, extremely reliable, and I would trust my life on it any time. The Tula Arsenal tested this model with over 20 000 rounds before
official adoption. Unfortunately no detailed report is available.
My source is from Germany ,1985.
 
can some one take a picture of the back sights? like a picture that will show the way it takes aim. i hope you understand wat i mean. lol
 
Me and my friend both have one. They are very fun guns. Cheap as hell, ammo is cheap too. It's a nice snappy and loud round to fire, very distinctive sound. Can't go wrong for the $179.
 
Make sure you strip it in to all it's little bits and degrease it with some thinner and then re oil it all by rubbing every part with an oiled rag, I use synthetic engine oil so it never gums, and then go and shoot it for the first time. I'd hate for you to end up being one of the guys that opens the box, shoots it and says the !@%$@#$ thing is crap.

It takes 15 min to do the above procedure and 5 min if you've done it before.

If you have the safety take out the screw and take the safety off and use the half #### like it was meant to be used. .... it will bash into your hand and go on safe on its own

how's the muzzle flash of the surplus 7.62x55 ammo (that you can get from marstar)?

You and your "muzzle flashes"! :p

I picked up a Russian Tokarev off the EE recently and while looking and playing with it at home on the first trigger pull the firing pin retaining pin broke! Doh! One of the "fingers" on the split end of the pin broke off. Sad as I haven't even shot it yet! Don't even have ammo for it yet! Where can I find replacement parts for this and are they the exact same as the Norinco parts? I would think so but you never know.
