A quick review of my Romanian Tokarev with some shootin and the take down toward the end. The
Romanian the TT Tokarev look at that long magazine this thing was did not originally have a safety
safety was added for import it does have eight hammer and that hammer does have a half cocked
position and the full cocked position is only single action this is shooting the Tokarev but
took her around the 7.62 by 25 is a bottleneck round you see in the left with a fast-moving
small diameter projectile compared directly to the 9-millimeter Makarov which replaced it in
hand guns for the Soviet Union in satellite states Tokarev first left plate three shot seven yards
three shot groups again Tokra Tokarev what is that inch-and-a-half it's not bad up a
save down is fire import safety trigger Wiggles quite a bit but it's pretty nice single action
only four pounds Tokarev takedown for cleaning that clip holds in those two pins and the safety
so I'm using this little piece of rubber and an official hammer just to pop that thing off okay
need some more force gonna need the hammer again push the takedown pin from the right
hand side pops right out top slide right off and the spring just flies similar to a 1911
in many ways there's a little swinging link and there's a bushing up front - just like in 1911
yeah you could take it down whatever way you like but this is probably the right way I clip
pulls those three pins in make sure you don't push the safety out because that thing has a
little detent in it anyway take a little piece of something non marring push down on the end
of the spring so that the bushing is released rotate it to the right side all the way up to
the top 12 o'clock it pops off and the spring will pop out and smack you in the eye now you
can pop out that takedown pin and slide the whole top end off spring won't fly everywhere
now probably should take the magazine out first get a look at the internals clean and lube as you
will spring comes out the back just like that's pretty simple and barrel it comes out the front
it's got wraparound locking lugs and proper recesses in the slide to lock it in place during
the recoil operation let's put it back together do not pop that safety out there's a detent it will
fly in a date with mine make sure that swinging link is aligned so that the pin will go through
easily careful not to leave an idiot scratch pops right in so grab that barrel bushing compress the
spring all the way down you have to get that tip into the frame and past the edge of the
slide then at 12 o'clock push that bushing down rotate it into place make sure it snaps in and
reinstall the clip from back to front using that same non marring tool and hammer make
sure it seats all the way check function you're good this is not simple blowback
it is recoil-operated so the slide and barrel recoil together for just a little
bit and then the bow is got back curl drops out of the way and the slide continues in
contrast both the cz and the Makarov have fixed barrels simple blowback operation
