I have had a mild interest in a Tokarev for a while. When I found a Yugoslavian
Tokarev for a good price in 9mm, I had to buy it. Anyone have one?

My FFL( my son) will deliver it tomorrow. Looking forward to shooting it next week.

Probably Bac.:supergrin:

 

I thought about it until I couldn't find magazines for them.

 

Interesting. A Yugo Tok in 9mm?

The only 9mm Tok I knew of is the NORINCO and I got one of them suckers.

I wouldn't mind having a Yugo 9mm Tok, but yes, mag might be a problem. One or two mags ain't enough. I gotta worry about Blue Helmet invasion!!!

 

I purchased one in January. I like it, but haven't taken it to the range as yet. Trying to stretch my ammo supply a bit. It's a well-made gun, though the machining is a little rough under the hood, as I was warned. Nothing bad, just not what you normally see. I ended up with serial number 475.

American Rifleman did a write-up last week and it was positive.

Thanks for the American Rifleman link.
For $239.95 plus $15.00 shipping it should be worth it. The gun comes with two mags. For a mostly range toy that is enough mags for me.

You'll like it. I originally was going to purchase one through Classic Arms, but they were out-of-stock, so I bought one through J&G Sales. Seems like one dealer will have them, but not the others.

The Zastava website lists this model as a "M70AA," which has the external safety. I'm guessing the "M70A" listed is the non-U.S. version w/o the safety. The "M70" is an altogether different gun. I used to have a website for extra mags, but the website's not active anymore, so I went to the Zastava website with no luck. Hope I get lucky one of these days!

 

Very cool. I dont have that pistol but I do have a Zastava Z5 rifle in .22lr. I used it when I shot a bit of Silhouette in the sporter division. I can say one thing. They make good guns. That $250 Zastava(i believe at one time it was imported and also sold as the Remington model 5) and a $99 Intensity Optics scope gave the CZ guys and their pricey Leupolds FITS . Some of them would get downright mad getting outshot by or equaled by a rifle annd scope combo that cost me $375 tops(including mounts and risers for the scope).

While I dont have that pistol I feel that Zastava makes some decent stuff.

 

Very nice

I have a Norinco Tok 213 in 9mm. It's a great pistol.

 

I have a Yugo M57 7.62x25 and a Norinco with both 9mm and 7.62 barrels. The 9mm barrel from the Norinco fits and works in the Yugo without problem. I just use the Yugo 7.62 mags when shooting 9mm in the Yugo. If you like the Yugo but want more mags go to

I sent an email to Zastava's Marketing Dept. yesterday about obtaining mags. I received a reply from them this morning that mags will be available through Century Arms in July. Not sure how that will work, as Century usually does business with dealers.

 

Nice! I wouldnt mind picking one of those up. I have a polish TTC in 7.62x25 that is similar and it shoots great!

 

After 10 rounds the front sight took a powder

 

Congrats!

But now I am gonna get my bac up :rofl: and sneer disapprovingly at putting a 9mil in a classic combloc pistol. The Zastava should ONLY be allowed with its Tok 7.65x25 round!

There are appropriate rounds for pistols and then there are some unnatural abominations. 9mm in a Zastava Tokarev is the latter.

Great you got the pistol! Pity it is in the wrong caliber!:crying:

Oh, I have a Zastava M70 in 7.62x25. It is a firebreather in that round! Not the most refined pistol out there, but it goes bang. You will have a blast with it. Expect comments at the range!
