Polish Tokarev T-33 all cleaned up and ready to go

Well finally received my never issued Polish TT-33. Used boiling water to clean off the cosmoline, then used Autosol metal polish to brighten up the finish removing minor marks. Polished the barrel and feed ramp and finally used Froglube for its first real cleaning. Worked great and after the autosol added that final shine I was hoping to get. Anyway its my first Tokarev and I'm quite impressed with the design and function. Stripping it apart was easy although getting the slide lock clip back on without marking the pistol was a bit of a challenge, needed a second set of hands.

Looking forward to taking it out to the range once it stops raining here.



Nice work. looks great ..let us know how it shhots
 
How do the Polish Tokarevs compare with the Russian Tokarevs ? I just took my restricted test and am considering buying one.

I've got 1137 rounds through mine, not a single malfunction, I thoroughly clean after every trip to the range. The only issue I have is I get some pretty bad hammer bite on the web of my thumb, but most people probably don't have this issue.

I like to hold my Tokarev as high as I can and it bites me every time. I started wearing gloves.
