Can anyone offer any technical opinion on the add on safeties for these? Ugly, sure, but will it cause the firearm to misfire?
Sounds good. I already have my Makarov PM for carry.The Soviet Tokarevs are more collector items. If you just want a shooter, don't worry about the safety; buy one of the inexpensive Eastern European copies and put the extra money into ammo. It's not a gun you're going to want to carry anyway so the safety really doesn't matter.
I have owned an M70A.Why not get the Zastava M70A in 9mm?
The safety is apparently the best tacked on safety out there and the gun itself is new. Plus it is chambered in a commonly available round that is inexpensive.
Yeah there was some hesitation... just like their was for my Bulgarian Makarov, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites guns ever.Good price. If you've wanted "a real Tokarev", you might as well get it. I got mine for more than that simply because it was in front of me at Gander Mountan and I knew if I waited to shop online, I'd probably end up not doing so right away..
Ah, I see Tark. Yes I've read of others who have had no issues. I wasn't one!You guys got some real lemons!! I have two Zastavas , a M-57 surplus and an M-70 commercial in 9mm Both have been superb. The M-57 had digested over a thousand rounds of surplus and a couple hundred rounds of commercial.
Not a single stoppage. Many trees killed.....to the intense irritation of my tree hugging dirt worshiping liberal friends.
It's on it's way now to my local FFL dealer here in town.Cooldill, I assume your next post will be either to confirm you have already ordered it, or to tell us you have it in hand.
Nothing else will do.
