- I bought a Tok in 7.62mm. It was reliable and moderately accurate.
- To Tokagypt-style grips from the Navy Arms "TU-90" make it much
- more comfortable to shoot. I later bought a 9mm barrel, which is
- supposed to be a drop-in conversion. It is, but the magazines are
- a problem, in that the 9mm cartridge has more body taper than the
- 7.62mm, so the 9mm rounds at the top of the mag are a bit nose-
- down. My gun regularly jams on Round #2 from each magazine when
- firing 9mm.

- Current import Tokarevs have a safety fitted, no doubt to get enough
- GCA68 import points. It's inconvenient and hard to use. The gun still
- has its overlength floating firing pin, so it's not drop-safe even
- with the safety on.
