Tokarev parts kits 9mm and 7.62x25

[MarstarCanada]

im a bit confused, in the future why cant part kits be shipped from china to canada directly? also if these are old stock why does it have to go overseas for disassembly, cant your gunsmith do it?

Norinco doesn't do parts kits, only complete guns. We can no longer register firearms in Canada due to the import ban. The workaround for this is we have the firearms from China go to Europe, have the parts removed from the frame, then re-exported to us in Canada.

Old stock doesn't have to go overseas for disassembly, we disassemble it in house and do a reverification on the frame.

There are two ways forward on this project;

1) We use parts kits as a liquidation measure, sell what we have and don't bother restocking, in which case we could let these go at a lower price

2) We choose to continue to provide parts and service for these pistols in as long as we can, in which case the price must be equal or near our replacement cost price.

We opted for option two because our goal is to keep as many live guns in civilian hands as possible. We don't want to cede this space to the Federal Government and let them push us out of a market without at least trying to work around the new changes.

LOL at these prices, completely absurd.

Yes, you could buy a full gun for half that before the ban.

Wtf are these prices?

Got 2 for $250 right before the ban from a retailer. I get you're stuck with stock but $400 for a parts kit of a surplus gun that cost $219.99 on a bad day?!

Perhaps the price is off by a decimal point?

Do the 9mm parts kits drop into a 7.62x25 frame?

I have had a lot of great dealings with Marstar in the past. However, their explanation for these inflated costs sticks in my craw.
If I understand the explanation correctly:
The “pre ban” Toks they have in stock, they are disassembling in house. Although these guns were purchased at pre ban pricing, they are charging post ban replacement costs for these kits.
I cannot swallow that.
Any pre ban guns in stock, they should sell the kits at the appropriate lower price. If they then import post ban parts kits, the price goes up to cover their increased costs.
No?

Maybe they are testing to see what the interest is for future imports of parts. If they can't sell these at the current price they probably will lower the price at some point but we won't see any parts imported.

Do you sell 'just; the 9mm barrel? If not, anyone know where I can get one? Probably a couple mags of each as well. {or just Tok if does work with 9mm..?}
Thnx

Nailed it.

Ship em to me and I'll zip-cut 100 per day. Screw the disassembly b.s.

As long as a basic tear down is performed and the zip cut doesn't go through any saleable parts and just the receiver in a few spots its GTG, no? Or am I stuck in the 80's?

I have a Walter angle grinder and a pack of zip discs at the ready...

Where are the mags? I've been looking for a couple for months now and there don't seem to be any on the market.
