Educational Zone #59 - Great Firearms - The Tokarev Romanian 7.62 X 25 Pistol - Page 1

I recently saw that the BATF had clarified that they considered the TT-33 pistol to be C&R qualified. I was excited, as I had always wanted one and now had a chance to have the Brown Truck O' Happiness deliver one right to my door.

I ordered one from AIM, as their pistols were advertised as "refinished".

Their ad said:

"Tokarev-TTC Romanian TT-33 7.62x25 Pistol
Item# Tokarev-TTC

Originally designed by the Russians as the Soviets standard service pistol for WWII, these TT-33 Tokarev pistols were manufactured by Romania during the Cold war. They share a similar design to John Browning's 1911 automatic pistol. Refinished to Excellent condition. Include a total of 2 original 7 round magazines."

Sounded just like what I wanted. And $209 sounded like a fair price. I also ordered a case of 1,224 rounds of surplus 7.62 X 25 Romanian ammo, as I was getting a little low. A couple of days later, I was in business.
