The two red stickers in your post are in Bulgarian. Since it’s a Cyrillic alphabet similar to the Russian alphabet which I know reasonably well I can read it. The left sticker says that it is "5.6mm (.22LR) ammo which can be used in any rifles of that caliber including semi-auto". At the bottom there is “CAUTION: Keep out of reach of children. Dangerous to 1000m”. The red sticker on the right shows the name and the location of the production factory: “MK-Fr. Engels-Kazanlak. Count 50 rounds. Small caliber cartridges cal.5.6mm/22LR. Noncorrosive. Made in Bulgaria”. The third sticker on the far right is completely irrelevant as it’s a picture of some racing car.
Since all those stickers are Bulgarian I think that these particular TOZ-8 rifles were imported from Bulgaria. Otherwise, the stickers are quite meaningless.
Were the rifles purchased at Marstar?

After reading this post, I decided to roll the dice and order online "BAIKAL Surplus 22 LR Single Shot, Soviet Training Rifle"
hoping for similar quality as the one you have. I will try my hand at refinishing or restoring similar to you. Any further advice is appreciated.

Here is after 8 coats of Ballistol Dark and 4 coats of Birchwood Casey Tru-oil.
Everything is working perfectly on this gun even the spring loaded ejection system.

Well, I decided not to try and refinishing the stock. I completely took it apart and wiped everything clean and applied gun oil. The barrel is very nice, the actions is well... primitive(what do you expect?) However, the results are impressive at the range.

Great way to learn to shoot.

Thanks,

Fremen forced me to buy one (well, sort of).

So, I bought three. These are great, awesome, I can't stop giggling when I shoot. (ok maybe I do pause the giggle when I press the trigger). accuracy is impressive.
 
I have a question about the bolt. Does anyone know how to take it apart for a more detailed cleaning? or should I just soak it with brake clean and hope for the best?
Thanks.
 
These little rifles can produce excellent results. There was on on the rack in our local gun store a couple of years PC, £75 - just over CAN$120 at that time, in very good refurbed condition with a set of reasonable-looking dioptre sights on it - no name on the sights though.

It's a dark art mystery. I think there's a ground press pin somewhere to connect the firing pin plunger to that back half. If you ever dissect it please record it, many people are curious.


I need to remake one since the ramp is wearing out and won't cycle nicely without holding the trigger.

I use to shoot those and later TOZ rifles in school in mid 80s.We never took bolts apart.
We cleaned them up with a toothbrush kind of tool and diesel fuel (it sure smelled like one) ,blow them dry with compressed air and wiped them with a cloth.

I still clean bike parts this way.Very efficient and effective.
