I have looked everywhere for Tokarev ammo and found ridiculous prices like a dollar per round and 80 cents per round. I was wondering if anybody had some to sell for a good price.
Whoa! Who knew that the contents of these heavy little spam cans would one day turn to gold?EDIT: Just out of curiosity, I checked on 7.62x25 using Ammoseek and, at the time, the least expensive was $1.60/round. I should perhaps sell some myself.
If you have some larger stores around, go look at them. There's a big shop here that is mostly barren right now; the crowds came in like locusts after the election. BUT- big shops tended to stock a lot of calibers, and the panic has been predominantly 9mm-45 acp-223/556. They might have a few boxes of Tok ammo around. In my large local store, they did have some, along with some other stuff, off to one side. 38 Super, etc. $25-30 a box.yeah, I just need some ammo for it that's all that matters. A gun without ammo is useless. I just don't want to pay a buck a round.
I'm considering selling my m57, the local gun store pretty much salivated when I said that I had about 500 rounds too
That's.....$800 in ammo at current prices. Holy crap
I don't know if it's a myth or not, but I've read of kabooms with Mausers while shooting Tok ammo. But yeah, that's not relevant- or maybe, it's relevant to say "Mauser ammo is safe". Either way, all the anecdotal evidence seems to indicate:"the difference is that Tok is hotter. You can NOT shoot Tok from a Mauser"
Internet myth, but in this case it is irrelevant.

Back in the Clinton era of the high capacity magazine ban I traded a Ruger P85 with 5 magazines straight across for a Beretta 92 Inox with 2 magazines at the local gun store where I bought the P85 a couple years earlier. I am pretty sure they threw the P85 away and sold the magazines. LOL! I still have the Stainless Beretta and I have never missed the P85.
When supply is low and prices are high it is time to sell... not the time to buy! ...but you got to know what you have!
One word of warning I use Sellier & Beloit as their stuff is non crosive a lot of warsaw pact 7.62x25 is corosiveI have looked everywhere for Tokarev ammo and found ridiculous prices like a dollar per round and 80 cents per round. I was wondering if anybody had some to sell for a good price.
it created a foot in diameter ball of fire visible in daylight
If you thought those prices were ridiculous, today AmmoSeek is listing two dealers with ammo in stock - one selling boxes of S&B 50 brass case FMJ for $1.40 a round and the other for $1.90 a round.I have looked everywhere for Tokarev ammo and found ridiculous prices like a dollar per round and 80 cents per round....
“Davey Crockett special munitions” aka a Hiroshima class nuke fired as a spigot round out of a 75mm recoiless rifle, range ~1000 paces (Per Dad watching a test fire at White Sands) yup Militaries do stuff like that all"under no circumstances use Bulgarian 7.62x25 it is for either the ppsh or some other subgun"
More internet myth. All 7.62x25 Tokarev ammo (short of a long Chinese subsonic round) was made for use in BOTH pistols AND 'subguns'. You will find no manual, label, box, packet, crate, etc. that says otherwise. There is no technical spec sheet or info to designate any difference at all. And wouldn't it be pretty stupid of a military to issue potentially dangerous ammo to troops in the field?
